I was there during the week on lunchtime with friends, it's got this really lovely laid back cosy style, and was super friendly. I like the fact they have a massive blackboard wall, with lots of menu choices, from tapas to light bites, and have specials too. We headed to the back of the building which almost feels conservatory like. The whole menu looked mouthwatering, I opted for the Home Smoked Trout with cream cheese, scrambled egg and radish salad. All of the flavours really complemented each other, and the scrammed egg was the lightest and fluffiest I've ever tasted. It was an ample portion, and really set me up for the rest of the day. The other thing I should mention is price, you get high quality for a great price. My brunch was priced at £6.90. The perfect price for a lunch deal in my opinion. I shall most certainly be back, and would highly recommend this place.

Poco is the best Tapas Bar around! Excellent food with the best atmosphere created by the staff,…read morethe music, the layout and the people who end up eating there. I think most of their meat is supplied from Pipers Farm, where the animals are treated incredibly well, they are mostly grass-fed and the meat tastes incredible. As someone who doesn't buy a lot of meat anymore, and I hardly eat meat when I eat out because I can't be sure of where the meat has come from, this is a massive plus! Thank you to all the staff for creating a unique experience!

The decor is cool it has loads of cool artwork and ornamental pieces and the candlelit ambience makes it feel warm and cosy. The food is good, the nachos extra are always tasty although I'm sure you could make the same at home, saying that they are great for sharing with a jug of Sangria between friends. I had a lamb dish from the specials menu last visit, it was okay, the lamb was well cooked and fell off the bone but it was over seasoned which took away from the flavour of the other ingredients. This place is great for drinks, the Sangria is Delicious and just like something you'd have on holiday. The margaritas are equally good and super tasty. We went with a group of friends and started on the tequilas (when in Rome), however the waitress asked if we wanted to try a different tequila, it was served with orange and cinnamon and oh my that was something special there, it certainly sent us off on or merry/ wobbly way! It's worth a visit if just for those tequilas! The staff are really friendly and put up with a rowdy crowd with us lot with out any issues.

I want to like this place, I really do. The items on the menu always sound really tasty, but every…read moretime I have visited I've been left disappointed by the appalling customer service. Last time I went I arrived at the bar as the barman was serving a customer in front of me. Once he had finished serving his customer he headed back up the bar to begin mixing a cocktail jug. After a full minute of being ignored I asked could I order some food to be asked if I could 'hang on' as he was serving someone (there was no-one else besides me stood at the bar). When he eventually came to take my food order, he left half way through to go and talk to another member of staff further down the bar, again with no explanation. When he returned I ordered salmon noodles and chicken penne pasta. Before I could pay, the other member of staff asked what I was ordering, and informed me that there was no pasta available. I ordered a Que Pasa Club sandwich instead and paid the bill. Ten minutes later the barman came over to the table to inform us that there was no salmon noodle dish available either. Eventually he had to call the other member of staff over to explain to us exactly what we could order. Items not available were: any salads, burgers, noodles, stir fry, fajitas, tuna, pasta or paella. We ordered a pizza and were then told that there would be a 45 minute wait as there were four other tables who had placed orders for Tapas before us, and these would take a long time. When the food arrived, the pizza had to be sent back as it was cold, and the club sandwich was the most appalling, un-appetising thing I have ever seen soggy toast, one slice of tomato in the whole sandwich, only two slices containing lettuce, and then it was tiny pieces of red lettuce which looked like it had come from the bottom of the bag. When I mentioned this to the manager I was informed that there was no salad left, and asked whether I would like a free drink as they had no lettuce. To be honest, the way the question was asked made us both feel as though we were being petty for mentioning it. Despite the fact that the staff did apologise, it did not feel genuine, and one member of staff constantly mentioned what a hard day and what a long shift he'd had as he'd had to work extra because they'd been so busy. Unfortunately by this point I didn't feel much sympathy!

DISTASTEFUL LYING STAFF Myself and my partner went to bath…read morethis weekend for our anniversary, we decided to go into this bar for a few drinks and a light lunch, all was well until we got accused of giving and taking drugs from a group of girls (who they couldn't control) the maitre'd had a terrible attitude towards the whole situation. She come over to our table, saying "we are going to have to give you your bill and you have to leave" I asked what for and she replied because you are doing drugs at the table. She then followed it up by saying " I see it. the table opposite see it and the whole restaurant see it" I was gob smacked and said what a false statement and complete lie she's just made up! All I was doing was being polite and amicable to the drunk girl, trying to get her away from me and my partner.(which the table opposite clapped and said "fair play guys you handled that drunk girl better then we would have") When I challenged the matrie'd she said she will get the CCTV to prove this is what happened. I waited for another 10 minutes and no one come to the table so I called the manager. I spoke to the manager and said I've just been accused of selling and taking drugs from this girl, please get the CCTV because maitre'd said she will get it to prove we had done such a thing! Conveniently the CCTV wasn't actually working in the area we was sitting in. By now my partner was upset and and panicking, I asked them to call the police to search me if this was what I was being accused of and nothing. The manager didn't have anything to say all he replied with was, I don't think that's what's happened I don't think you gave them anything I think they gave you something. Like this made it any better. The manager was as spineless as his maitre'd the whole company needs to go onto a customer training course and they need to think before they start accusing people of doing crimes on their premises. Absolutely disgusted it runined what was supposed to be a great weekend away. And I will be taking this further then just leaving a review.

The only reason I went with 3 stars was really due to my fajitas. The proportions were just really off... 3 small prawns, a minimal amount of beef and a pile of onions.
