    Another excellent meal at El Cerdo. Highlights were the truffle croquettes, chicken skewers and of course the wonderful Pluma Iberica. Great wine selection, excellent service and lively atmosphere. Recommended.

    Stunning food and service as always. Sat at the bar which was fun and enjoyed the new spring/summer menu. The tomato salad was insanely tasty!

    Fabulous meal tonight. We took advantage of the Cocktail Club special offer (2 for £18) and also the three tapas for £17.50 which made the whole experience even better value. Great food, brilliant service (attentive but unobtrusive) and delicious cocktails. Second time eating here and will definitely be back.

    Decor, service and length of time it took for food to arrive was decent. Unfortunately, we thought the meal was overpriced - £8.50 for a small bowl of patatas bravas was a travesty and the mussels paella didn't go down as well as expected. Overall, we wouldn't make it a regular spot and will stick to other tried & tested restaurants with a better value proposition in Maidenhead.
