“ Fantastic, we loved it. The food was absolutely delicious. A short but well done menu. Small restaurant, busy with a great atmosphere and good service. ”
“ What a delightful evening we had at Tapa! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed with their warm and attentive service. The food was exceptional, but the absolute highlight had to be the chicken croquettes - perfectly crispy on the outside with an incredibly flavorful, creamy interior. They were honestly some of the best we've ever had! The portion sizes were ideal for sharing and trying multiple dishes, which is exactly what you want from a tapas experience. We're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality small plates, excellent wine, and genuinely friendly service! ”

“ First visit, we will be back! Great food, great service and well priced food and drink. Well worth the trip, cosy yet a real fun place to be. ”
“ The most INCREDIBLE and the most DELICIOUS place in the Peak District. I would travel across the country just to visit the place again. The good was phenomenal as was the service and drinks. The menu changes all the time and the dishes are modern and exciting. There is so much variety too! We went there twice in the space of 3 days and would definitely drive 300 miles across the country to eat there again! ”
“ Me and my partner were in this evening and ordered all the veggie options and they were incredible. I often find it hard to find veggie options to be amazing, but Tapa always serves the most delicious food. Service is always impeccable and tonight was no different, the ladies on tonight were great. 10/10 and would recommend to absolutely anyone!! ”
“ Amazing food and service. If you want something exciting and different from normal pub food, this is for you. Food combinations are delicious, and you find yourself savouring every mouthful. as you dont want it to end .The presentation is beautiful, too. The food is a work of art. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. ”
“ Just moved around the corner from TAPA so ventured out on a Monday evening for dinner. This restaurant has a special offer - bring a food bank donation for 50% off the food bill. Great idea! Small plate menu, started with some breads and oil - absolutely delicious with two different breads. Main courses - my girlfriend had the cod plus the prawns and I had pigs in blankets with cranberry and the lamb shoulder pie. Bravas and gnocchi sides. All the food was excellent. The restaurant was packed, even on a Monday night so make sure you book in advance. Buzzing atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Will definitely be back soon. ”
