RINCON DE PEPE

Rincon de Pepe is your local Spanish escape, charming enough to make you momentarily forget you’re in the UK. Sarah and Rik can’t stop gushing about the tapas, which are apparently so good you'll forget to take photos until it’s too late. The octopus in chili and garlic is a standout, as Alan will tell you, and the sangria is a refreshing touch. It’s cozy and casual, making it ideal for a night out with mates or a last-minute dinner date.

However, as always, there’s a catch. Katie’s just asking for a bit more attentiveness from staff while she’s trying to decide on dessert. It’s not like they’re overwhelmed, and a little eye contact wouldn’t hurt. But all in all, it’s a solid and authentic experience that feels like a cheeky trip to Spain without the plane ticket.
