Casa Lola

The food was absolutely incredible! Probably the best tapas I’ve had. The quality of food was fantastic and the service was wonderful also. Will be back!

Jim P wrote a review 3 contributions 2 days ago Gem of a place if you are looking for excellent service & amazing food. my first visit to this place, what a experience... walking in was greeted by Claudia, friendly and smiling, taken us to our table and where we were greeted by Millie & Alexandra, extremely friendly and amazing character. Explained us the special dishes on offer, drinks service was fast, food was freshly made and all the dishes tasted different, and so tasty. I would suggest anyone to visit this restaurant if you have not done promise you will not retreat it. I would like to thank Ana & Beth also. Atmosphere in the restaurant was amazing. the team made our evening most enjoyable and we are definitely going back ( 1 hr drive for us but 100% worth it) Personally I really appreciate the team work and how professional they are because I am in the same trade (hospitality) for me this restaurant would be on my top 10 places I have visited in this country. keep up the service and quality of food ........

No flavour in any of the food, nothing was seasoned. Asparagus was mush, paella was wet and swimming in liquid. Skewer was cold and raw, no sear on the meat. Potatoes anemic. Service was good until the order was taken and then non-existent, despite being the only table eating. No clear manager on-site. Would not return, used to come all the time when I lived in the area.

Yet again another superb night here. Visited many times before & always first class. Excellent group of staff, the service is always friendly & super efficient. Lovely Spanish vibe - even better when they have the live music. The food here is on a different level. We have tried most of the dishes on the menu & every single one of them is absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients cooked to order. Always a lot of specials on rotation. Must try the Octopus Galician style. Wow. Thanks to all the team. Be back soon!

Thank you for hosting 🍸 Amazingly friendly and welcoming atmosphere 🥰 Food and cocktails was very good 🎉

Lovely birthday dinner at Casa Lola tonight, always great Tapas. Started with the bread and cold meats followed by lots of dishes, finished off with some desert. The tapas selection has something for everyone, if you order 6-7 dishes that will be good for 3-4 people. Recommend…. The meatballs, potato bravas and the chocolate cake which was a warm cake with a melted chocolate inside.

The most delicious food served by friendly staff. Such a welcoming atmosphere, we felt like we were home. Easy transport links with bus and Caterham train station.

Overrated. Paella for two was very small compared to standard original Spanish paella (the picture doesn’t really show how small the pan was), it was insipid, the mushrooms were raw and was watery. It didn’t taste like a good paella. The lady who took the order was eager to sell us a lot of other specials but when we said we’d start with the paella and then we’ll see afterwards, she made a strange face and she walked away. All the other waiters were nice and attentive though. Another thing: there was this man singing so loud that we couldn’t hear each other at the table. Way too loud, my ears are still ringing, poor staff having to hear him for hours. The atmosphere would have been better just with some lower music in the background. Not going there again.

We'd just completed a five-mile walk nearby and were all ravenous. Casa Lola was the nearest non chain and seemed respectable enough. Inside, it's capacious and family-friendly. Visiting on Father's Day, all tables were fully booked with smiling dads and their offspring. This meant we had to sit on a high table with slightly bum-numbing seats. Needless to say, our appetites were duly sated by complimentary bread. My grilled salmon was slightly overcooked, as was my dad's steak. Lamb cutlets were tender and the fresh anchovies were excellent, apparently (I don't eat them). The skinny fries we shared were under seasoned. To their credit, portions were very generous. Desserts fared better. Delicious, warm pecan pie went down a treat as did a nata - Portuguese custard tart. I would've loved to award Casa Lola four stars, I truly would. The service was super friendly, even a little psychic - our waiter guessed I wanted a hot chocolate before I even said so. But the quality of the mains was not quite there. A solid 3.5 stars.

Awful awful service. The manager was so unapproachable food wasn't anything special Wouldn't recommend this place at all. All they care about is money and nothing at all about customer service The only reason this isn't a 1* is because I got a few smiles from other staff members

I like the food and I like the service in this restaurant. I go there quite often. But why do they insist on putting the music so loud all the time. We went there for a girls night out on a Friday night and they put on live music. I couldn't even hear what the person next to me was saying, yet alone anyone else at the table. If only they would take into consideration that people want to talk - it would be a brilliant place to go to every weekend.

Fun, bright restaurant with charismatic Spanish owner. Great drinks selection and wide menu.
