    Really enjoy the menu choices at El Cerdo and its riverside setting. Dishes are tasty and appetising. Enjoy the terrace for the view but inside it’s sometimes quieter if you want to chat. Will certainly visit El Cerdo again.

    Fantastic location by the river and marina! It hardly felt like a regular lunch and more like we were on a holiday! The margaritas were brilliant and the food was tasty with fairly large portions. The desserts were awesome too, particularly the almond cake. Jazz Sundays made it all the more special and we can’t wait to be back!

    Lovely location. Nice bar areas. Food is nice enough but expensive for the lamb and pork tapas.

    Staff were welcoming and provided very good service. The food was exceptional and the wine recommended was excellent. The choice of dishes was varied with several tapas options that I haven’t seen on other menus. I would definitely recommend this restaurant

    We live about 5 minutes from El Cerdo. It's the second time we've been to the restaurant for Sunday lunch, and we love it! We specifically come to hear the music, as the two Pauls are friends of ours. It's a real treat to hear our friends playing such great music. The staff are really nice - shout out to Grace!!! The food is delicious, wicked cocktails and a pleasant and relaxed vibe.

    I would like to thank Mrs Lynn for her amazing hospitality to celebrate my sisters birthday on Saturday. We were met with a warm welcome & an appreciation of our choice to celebrate in her restaurant. She was very kind to send complimentary drinks. We were sorry we didn’t get to thank her directly. We had a lovely evening with great ambience and food. Wishing this restaurant continued success. A win for Bourne End..

    Simply perfect tapas, amazing taste, top quality. Also wonderful service (especially by Zelda). The padron peppers were amazing. The chorizo in cider was incredible. A truly excellent dinner and a great view along the river. Thank you.
