La Casona

Don't usually post bad reviews but this place was a real disappointment. Not sure how long it's been open or who owns/runs it but the experience was a disgrace to Andalucia. The welcome we got was quite cold, the food seemed like frozen/packet/microwave, service non existent and atmosphere was frosty. Walked in to hear a blazing row going off somewhere, assume it was in the kitchen, waitress seemed very embarrassed by it. Only had San Miguel as a Spanish beer, no potatoes for patatas braves, but did have frozen chips (waitress admitted), meatballs, my fave Andalucian tapas dish were like rubber. Calamari were tasteless. We left.most of the food and left early. Upstairs decorated in shades of grey, not really any attempt at Spanish decor. Bar counter downstairs was decorated in copper 2p and 1p pieces!?!?!? After having the real thing in Spain on many occasions, this was a very poor attempt at bringing tapas to Leek. If this was a one off night, then good luck but my impression was that only the sign outside had anything Spanish about it.

Worst dining experience I have ever had! Food came out in dribs and drabs, it took two hours in total to get our food. We were smoked out upstairs the whole time (my new dress now smells like a smoke pit!!). The chef and his wife had an argument which we got to hear all about (very unprofessional)! If I could I would leave a zero star rating! If you like waiting for two hours for food in what can only be described as the middle of Benidorm this might be right up your street. Sorry to say that we will not be returning! No discount or even drinks offered for such a poor experience! Shame, the waitress was apologetic and it really wasnt her fault, clearly very unprofessional to walk out and leave your staff in the lurch!

Lovely atmosphere, sat down stairs. Fantastic food, four of us shared 10 different tapas dishes between us. All dishes freshly prepared and well presented. Good sized portions and varied choices. Will definitely go back again and would highly recommend. Sorry forgot to take photos.
