The Tapas Room Peckham in Southwark

We honestly didn't know what to expect from a place we've walked passed several times in the past & always wondered what it was like so me & my friends finally decided to take the plunge yesterday evening and sample the fare on offer at the Tapas rooms in Peckham and I can honestly say as someone who has sampled tapas in and around Spain and beyond this is some of the finest tapas me and my guests have ever tasted. The manageress who served us helpfully explained all the dishes and ingredients to us & how every dish was freshly made from scratch & all the ingredients were sourced personally by the chef so we basically chose a couple of dishes each plus the chilled red wine which was a perfect accompaniment and comes highly recommended! We had the octopus which was incredibly tender, the hamon literally melted in the mouth, served with delicious bread and home made seasoned olive oil, the blue cheese and fig was also amazing,every dish that arrived on our table was excellent and the service was first class considering the place was busy and all the dishes are freshly made. The atmosphere and general ambience made for a memorable evening and we will definitely be back for more!

Had the fresh anchovies, the stuffed squid, hake, duck and the meat & cheese selection, all excellent and finished off perfectly with the delicious churros with hot chocolate sauce. 😋 We sat at the bar so it was great to see the chefs in action and the wait staff were really friendly and extremely passionate about the food and drink.👍 One small request, please get seats with backs at some point!😉

Seriously good! From the moment I contacted them - late on a Friday afternoon they were brilliant. They managed to juggle things around and got us a table for 8! We messed them around again - 10 arrived! No problem they managed to miraculously juggle things around again. And then it got really good. Food was fantastic - duck was probably my favourite but it was all good. As we were a large group and it was all to complicated for us to get organised we asked if we could just let them bring what they thought would be appropriate - luckily we all eat everything. The service was honestly spot - wine was lovely. We will be back
