Penrith must be proud to have this FANTASTIC Spanish restaurant. Excelent quality of spanish tapas for a reasonable price. Roberto is a chef with 30yrs experience and he understand perfect the meaning of tapas. Quite a lot and different options to taste and FRESH (red meat, vegetables, fish,...) I been 3 times and I tasted 12 different tapas DELICIOUS. Due my work I’ve been around England and I have the chance to visit quite a lot Spanish restaurant. Definetely this one is in the TOP 3 (after visiting more than 20/25).

La Casita (Penrith - Lake District) - 3/5 - so I had very high hopes for this restaurant and I would say we were satisfied but wanted to be wowed. We took advantage of the weekday 4 for 15 tapas and we liked it, but each dish just needed a tweak. The verde sauce with cod cheeks was a little tangy for us, the chutney with aubergine crunch things was too sweet and the anchovies with the grilled bread needed some excitement. The Paella (you have to order two portions) smelt mouth watering, looked fabulous and had generous amount of seafood, however it needed a bit more flavour and salt (we ended up topping it with Tabasco sauce). The dessert of creme caramel and sticky pudding was good but would have been better with homemade ice cream (see what I mean re everything needing a little tweak). I did mention the lack of salt in the paella and the waitress appeared a little taken aback. However the service was great, although it was very quiet since were in COVID situation, we were made to feel welcome. The restaurant decor was like being in a cave which we loved, and the seating looked like church pews. The toilets are clean and parking is free in the evening outside the restaurant. Unfortunately this isn’t a place I would go again however I do encourage people to go as it may be to your tastebuds. We noticed that the flavours are slightly toned down in Lake District owing to their regular clientele’s palettes. #spanishtapas #lakedistrict #fuzzbearfood
Enjoyed a family meal here as treat. We were missing Spain due to lockdown and felt this would give us a taste of Spain. Food was good. Service was good. I've dropped a star as not all staff were wearing masks. I know its not compulsory but it does a lot for customer confidence. All in all though, a great place.
Wow what a great place! Friendly staff, super service and the food was excellent! Will definitely be back.
Amazing. Visited whilst touring. Great service. Drinks were delicious. Best meal Ive had out for a long time. Visited with my fiance im vegetarian and could not recommend anymore and he was more than satisfied with the meat dishes. A must go if you are staying in the area.
