Orford Saloon Tapas Bar

I think this restaurant is fantastic. I eat here every few months and I cannot fault the quality of the food, atmosphere or service. It is extremely authentic and prepared with the best ingredients. The chef, Jorge, is happy to chat and recommend the specials of the day. No rubbery frozen prawns here!

The staff are very polite and the place has a lovely buzz. I personally recommend the muscles and the lamb cutlets. Superb!

Well done to the owners!

i visited this tapas bar on a saturday night, with both of my parents being spanish and spending alot of time in spain, i am always reluctant to visit spanish tapas bars in London.

being born and bred in London i do know that some spanish tapas bars do not always serve genuine spanish food. on this occasion not only was the food authentic but the chef came from the same town in southern spain as my family, (st perdro del cantera)

all the dishes we ate, tasted great and the serano ham was high quality. i am due to go back tomorrow night where i will hopefully try some more dishes.

the staff are very laid back and attentive at the same time

Visited for the first time a couple of weeks back on a Thursday night. It was quiet but welcoming and the staff were friendly, relaxed and professional.

We ordered five dishes and they were all outstanding and very fresh. The chicken livers were my pick of the day and my partner went for the king prawns as her favourite.

We washed it down with a bottle of white rioja which had been recommended and which lived up to high expectations.

I'll be back, the entire evening was almost flawless.

First time visiting here on Saturday night and will definitely be back many times! Lovely food, lovely wine and friendly service. Favourite dish- the lentil and chorizo stew.

Went there for my anniversary and was amazed by how small the potions were fir the price. It is meant to be a tapas restaurant but at £7.50 a dish. I thought it is ridiculous. Everyone seems to give it praise but as my first experience it will be my last. It was very expensive and the staff are very slow including the service. Just couldn't believe how small the dishes were for the price. I had to go get a kebab after to reward myself from such a bad experience. Never again for me. I would not recommend unless you have money to burn. £45 for four tapas dishes is not on in any country never mind in walthamstow.

Visited this restaurant for the first time last night after reading reviews on this site. We booked a table mid week for 7pm and they were able to fit us in. Whilst there every table in the main room was occupied with a few unused in the extension at the back. The owner told us he's had this built so he can take 'walk ins'.

The service, atmosphere and food were excellent. My partner is a chef and was seriously impressed with the food. We ordered 2 fish, 2 meats and patatas bravas which was ample. Partner had 3 beers and I had 2 glasses of wine and it was under £50.

What a find. Can't wait to go back!

Visited the restaurant in June of this year. Booked the table for 8-30pm for 8 people we arrived slightly late but no problem for the staff, our table was ready.

We had drinks whilst we looked at the menu,anything we didn't know the staff or owner was happy to explain. Ordered plenty of tapas and the two paella's fish and meat, first courses just kept on coming (we did order alot ), then the paella's came, menu said for two, well the portion sizes were for four, fantastic food, great service, exceptional value for money, we will be going back there hopefully in December of this year for our next party. Looking forward to it.
