Pulpo Negro - Menu

A hidden gem in Alresford, this place is a must-visit. We were able to snag a table on a busy Saturday evening. The restaurant is warm and inviting, the tapas are top-notch, and the atmosphere is lively. Highly recommend!

Excellent tapas and good surroundings. Not cheap and langoustines very over priced. Lose points due to being bit of a killjoy: not allowed to take own cake for a birthday celebration. We asked in advance so beware if you plan just to turn up with one.

Great service and the food was delicious. And they know how to make a great gin and tonic, transported back to Spain. Catalan tomato bread,relish reminded me of breakfasts in Spain. Also croquettes, chicken thighs, and the gambas al ajillo, there version of pil pil, superb

This is one of our top restaurants in the UK, quite possibly the best Spanish restaurant in the country! The food is absolutely delicious, the service is great, and there is always a fantastic atmosphere. The chefs here truly know how to cook. If you enjoy authentic Spanish cuisine, you must visit this place.

What a lovely experience from a really warm greeting and great atmosphere in the restaurant. The tapas is exceptionally good and if you are unsure about anything the staff have great knowledge and listen to their recommendations glad we did. Fab wine list, basically you won’t be disappointed with a visit to this restaurant

Food was 5*, possibly the best chicken wings I 've EVER had! All the small plates were divine not to mention the fabulous desserts.. Service outstanding, a big shout out to Fran for putting up with our 'noise than normal ' table! Pulpa Negro is a jewel in beautiful Alresford and knocks your average tapas bar out of the park.. Thanks for a great evening looking forward to returning!

Situated in the pretty Hampshie village of Arlesford. Outstanding food and service in a slighly overcrowded upstairs but more spacious basement. Charming and attentive service from a very knowledgable server. Very cool atmosphere with non disruptive house music in the background. Difficult to pick a favourite dish as they were all excellent. Perhaps the BBQ octupus which had the texture of lobster, absolutely divine. Excellent value for money. We didn't drink so can't judge the wine list. I'm fortunate to visit many excellent restaurants and this one sits near the very top. We will definitely be back.

It is unfortunate that our dining experience at this restaurant was tarnished by service glitches and overpriced items. Despite enjoying some delicious dishes in a pleasant atmosphere, the high cost of certain items, such as the octopus, left us feeling unsatisfied. The head waiter initially showed attentiveness but became distracted with other guests, neglecting our table and leading to delays in taking our dessert order. Additionally, we were surprised by the charge for bread to accompany our meal. Overall, while the food had potential to be enjoyable, the subpar service detracted from what could have been a great dining experience.

I was treating my husband to a trip on the Watercress Line for his birthday and found this restaurant for lunch in between trips. The food was exquisite and very authentic. We started with the boquerones with some bread and aoili. We lived in Mallorca and boquerones are a favourite for my husband and they were the best we have tasted, just the right amount of lemon and fresh parsley. We followed up with the Octopus a favourite of mine and, again, the best I have ever tasted- recipe please? , gambas, sardines and tomato salad. I have not had sardines like this since I left Spain. Beautifully filleted and the green sauce was so fresh and tasty. The gambas were way better than I expected, far m...
