"We’d been to the tapas room in Deptford before and were looking forward to returning. But sadly this visit was disappointing from the beginning. The waiter told us quite early on that the kitchen closed at nine which is really early, especially when we had gone for tapas at 8pm. This message was then revised and repeatedly relayed, giving a strong impression that a)we shouldn’t stay long and b) the kitchen was unprepared to provide the sort of meal one should get at a tapas restaurant. This was confirmed when each plate came out individually and with ten minute intervals. The food itself was poor, with the nicest plates comprising of the food that needed the least intervention from the kitchen, and the worst being the duck breast that the chef had overcooked to a comical degree. We left hungry, irked and sure that we would not be coming back."
