    So nice to be back at La Rueda, the refurbishment / Revamp looks incredible (classy & cozy feel). Food has always been great and on this reopening occasion didn't disappoint. Service attentive and in good humour. Restaurant was full and ambience was spot on. We took advantage of the reopening discount must say this made the meal much more sweeter.

    It was an amazing venue. I got my white corner like requested as I was having a business dinner. Great affordable prices, running promotion in food. The atmosphere was vibrant and themed to make me feel like I was in Spain and the food was absolutely delicious!!

    Hi Charlie, Thank you for your wonderful review. We're glad you enjoyed your business dinner in the white corner and felt the vibrant atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best, La Rueda Team

    I've always loved this tapas place - has an informal, friendly, holiday vibe, simple and delicious food. It's still got the vibe but the menu has got much shorter, and it's all a little bit more basic. Everything's in batter, the simpler, ingredient-led dishes like garlic prawns and manchego have gone, there's almost no vegetables (a very mayonnaisey salad and deep fried mushrooms), it's just a bit more like Spain-via-Iceland. Feel mean saying this! I still love it and will definitely come back.
    La RuedaResponded on 17 October 2024
    Hi Zoe, Thank you for your feedback and for being a loyal guest. We’re glad you still enjoy the vibe, and we’ll definitely take your comments about the menu on board as we continue to improve. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best, La Rueda Team

    La Rueda is under new management and after a while of going downhill, it is totally back on track. As I have been going to this restaurant since it originally opened, I was saddened at my previous visit to see how bad it had become and that I probably would not go again. When I saw they had a new menu, I decided to try one last time. I am so glad I did, as the new manager has a totally different attitude and I am confident it is going to be very popular again very soon. The new menu, whilst it is still changing, was excellent.
    La RuedaResponded on 17 October 2024
    Hi Dawn, Thank you so much for giving us another try and for your kind words about the changes! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the new menu and noticed the positive shift. Your support means a lot to us, and we’re excited to keep improving and welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, La Rueda Team

    We left because the service was uncoordinated and bad.
    La RuedaResponded on 14 October 2024
    Hi Wen, Thank you for your feedback. We feel really bad that the service fell short during your visit. Our team and menu are new, and we’re in a learning phase right now, but that doesn’t excuse your experience. We genuinely appreciate your comment and will use it to improve our coordination moving forward. If you'd like to discuss this further, please reach out at reservations@laruedaclapham.co.uk. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance. Best, La Rueda Team

    Went as part of the soft launch, once we got there they told us they didn’t have half of the menu. Opted for the tapas and were served meat instead of the vegetarian options.
    La RuedaResponded on 10 October 2024
    Hi Nish, Thank you for joining us for the soft launch and for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, especially regarding menu availability and the mix-up with the vegetarian options. This is certainly not the standard we strive for. We'd love the opportunity to make things right, so please feel free to get in touch with us at reservations@laruedaclapham.co.uk, and we’ll ensure your next visit is much smoother. Thank you again for your feedback.
