La Bobina in Vale of White Horse

We ordered paella valenciana and it was absolutely delicious. The downside was that it took two hours to reach our table. The manager offered us two free jugs of sangria for the wait, and that was nice of him. Make sure you double check the bill at the end because we were about to pay for three extra paellas that we had not asked for, but this was easily sorted by speaking with the manager once again. Overall I think I will come back, the paella was absolutely amazing.

Authentic and delicious. Extremely friendly waiter and kitchen staff. The tapas was very good, I recommend the baby squid and gambas al pil pil. The squid ink paella is excellent too. Gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu and there's a big variety of dishes to choose from. Sangria also quite nice.The only thing let down by was the one poor waiter having to serve more than 20 people across 8+ tables so service wasn't as quick as it could've been. Hopefully, management will hire someone else to help him.

We were here last night for dinner and it was fantastic, food great, service great. The waiter and chefs were so busy but at no point in the night did we feel like it affected them or the service, they were constantly smiling and the waiter was always joking when he was at the table. It was our first time but definitely not our last. 10*

Wordless… authentic Spanish food, tasty and good prices, we loved the sangria, we had few jugs! The staff is absolutely amazing, definitely a place to visit, and the decoration is very nice too.

Birthday Sunday Night Out. We couldn’t choose a right place for a while, as it should be Gluten and corn free, less diary etc. Week by week we checked places… and then we decided to stay local and find something around. And YAY, @larueda_clapham was chosen for this special occasion.We were the first who came into restaurant, calm spanish music, dimmed lights, friendly waitresses in a shiny white shirt. We had a right to choose a table, sat down, got a menu… plenty of tapas-veggie,seafood or meat ones! Great selection of main course and -Thanks GOD-paella menu!!! Food arrived quick, we requested-as it comes- as 3 of us wanted to share and keep eating!When tapas and mains were eaten we were waiting for the star dish of this night!Paella!!!The portion is for 2ppl, BUT if You have some tapas before-You will ask for TA as I did😅That dish could be eaten by 3-4 persons easily!Desserts were Yummy! Churros isn’t my thing, but Creme Brulee and Granny’s cake were delish!Great service, attentive staff, fingers licking food… what else do You need for a birthday dinner!Will defo recommend to try Octopus as a main, baby squids, Mediterranean Prawns, Tuna Empanadas and of course paella!Wouldn’t go for cheese plates, as You can get Manchego from Aldi for £3 rather then 6 slices for £10+SC.

Generous portions. Seafood was fresh. Good selection of tapas and very reasonably priced. The waitress, Chelsea was superb - attentive and friendly. Though the live music was entertaining, it was a bit too loud, preventing conversation throughout dinner.

Arrived and the staff were lovely and very welcoming. The only thing I would like to complain about is the fact online it said nothing about a set menu. When we arrived we were told it was a set menu, it was a complete surprise to us and we were really disappointed as we were very excited about the menu. When we pointed it out to the waitress she didn’t apologise and just said that’s all we offer today as we have live music. No apology at all, which has really put me off coming back even though I really want to.

The wonderful, aromatic smell of delicious food is felt from the restaurant's doorstep. The food is fresh and simply delicious. It is worth visiting here if only for a drink, because Espresso Martini and Margarita cocktails are the best in the area. I sincerely recommend this restaurant with cozy decor with spectacular ceiling, friendly service with the best bartender and the best food.

Chicken and ham croquettes were ok, a bit on the small side and didn't have any ham in them.Tuna empanadas were not good, they looked great but once bitten into them I found they had no filling inside. Very disappointing as I'd heard good things

Eating at this restaurant was an absolute DELIGHT! The staff were warm, welcoming and attentive throughout the evening. The food was the most delicious food I've eaten a while. Notable favourites were the octopus (served with potato), squid ink paella, seafood paella (see photos) and the monkfish.Honestly, the octopus has changed my life. I can't wait to return to this restaurant to eat it again ♥︎
