Great selection of food with plenty of choice for every taste. Does tend to be a bit noisy. Not impressed with the service, one dessert arrived after everyone else had finished theirs and it was only a lemon sorbet.

I was looking for a midweek after work spot to catch up with a friend. Lola’s didn’t disappoint! We got a selection of classic tapas dishes (chorizo, prawns, ham croquettes, etc) and a bottle of wine. Everything was delicious and was super reasonably priced too. A table next to us shared a paella which looked delicious — I’d try this on my next visit! Highly recommend.
