"I have visited la vita numerous times and try to support local businesses but after today we will not be going back. Today as a family we visited la vina for dinner, I ordered a meat feast pizza, what arrived was a chicken and ham. I explained the situation and after the pizza was served to me 10minutes after my family I was told due to covid they could not get certain ingredients(chorizo, chilli and meatballs) I informed them this should have been communicated so I could change my option. There was no apology and the waitress said they would take my starter off the bill not the pizza. I refused this and said the pizza should be taken off! Again no apology just a tut. Children’s menu also not suitable for children under 5 very battered/spiced chicken and the pizza source had a lot of basil. Terrible food and service all around."

Food excellent as always and the portion sizes enough to mean you’ll need a doggy bag! Friendly service, lovely host and great food as good a tapas restaurant as you’ll find. No photos of the food cause we were too busy eating it!

Went for "date night "meal last night. They were extremely busy but made us aware of that and were very apologetic. We had a lovely chilled and relaxed meal with very friendly service. The food was amazing and we will definitely be back.

Visited the neighbouring bar to be explained they had alcohol but no food so La vina worked with them to provide food, which makes perfect sense, order 1 x pizza 1 potatoe dish at 1.15 pm and it arrived at 3.10!! Waitress had a bad attitude, waiting that long is not satisfactory however hats off to the chef.. The food was absolutely gorgeous.

Visited La Vina on Saturday night having booked online. This was our first visit and we were immediately impressed with the warm reception we had. We ordered the 5 for £30 menu which was delicious and plenty for two guys we had to leave some. We were served by a young lady who was very friendly. Another lady spent time with explaining more about the restaurant and the neighbouring bar the stables to which they deliver food to customers. We have already recommended it to friends and will definitely be back.

Service was extremely slow and waited almost 3 hours for food to arrive and it was quite disappointing and some was under cooked.No heads up was given that the food might take a while to come out and no apologies were given after the very long wait otherwise we may have been more understanding if we had been made aware.The atmosphere was not very welcoming or friendly at all and it seemed like the woman didn't want us there at all and was annoyed by being asked when our food may arrive after we had waited hours.Would not go back or recommend.

I hope the management read this review. We are here, surrounded by people saying the same thing ….. poor service. There is slow, then there is la Vina slow.. waiting Over 40 minutes for a drink is ridiculous. Drinks ordered from next door arrived quicker. t’s not good business having serving staff ignore you rather than take your order. The staff looked and dirty tables and walked on. Your serve amazing food it really was delicious but the lack of good customer service is off putting. We saw two tables leave rather than wait. You need to invest is training your staff before you lose even more clientele,

Passing this establishment we saw an empty table outside in the sun. We decided to break our walk an enjoy a chilled glass of wine. First visit but definitely won’t be the last. Quickly attended to once we had sat down and ordered our drinks. We were offered a menu which displayed plenty of choices at reasonable prices. We were served by a very pleasant girl who answered all our questions about the menu. Will definitely be back to sample some of the lovely dishes soon. Asked for our bill which was quickly presented for all the tables were taken and the place was busy. Excellent service, excellent prices and an enjoyable hour was spent.
