I had booked a table for dinner as all my friends rave about the food. They weren't wrong!!! We ordered the set menu as well as an additional three dishes and everything was super delicious and freshly prepared. The Asian slaw is absolutely incredible, best I've ever had! As usual we had ordered too much food but I took the leftovers home to have for lunch. The staff were welcoming and seated us straight away and we're attentive taking our orders etc. It's not the most romantic place to go and eat but overall the atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was really busy. I cannot wait to go back!
Wow! We returned to Frustrated Chef last Friday to celebrate my birthday, giving it another chance after a less-than-perfect visit a few years ago. Having heard fantastic reviews recently, we were eager to see if things had improved—and I can confidently say it exceeded all expectations! As a big fan of tapas and someone who has explored many tapas restaurants across the Midlands, I can honestly say it will be hard to go elsewhere after this experience. The food was simply sensational—freshly prepared, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. Each dish arrived promptly, and we enjoyed it so much that we ended up sampling most of the meat dishes on the menu! My personal favorite was the halloumi fries with marmalade jam—a taste sensation that was an absolute delight. Close contenders were the succulent prawns, melt-in-the-mouth pork belly, crispy chicken, and the rich, flavorful Serrano ham croquettes. It was all so good that I’d have to order them again on my next visit! To top off an already incredible evening, the chef surprised me with a complimentary dessert to mark my birthday—a thoughtful touch that made the night even more special. The warm, cozy atmosphere, combined with the lively buzz of a full restaurant and impeccable service, created the perfect setting for a memorable celebration. If you haven’t been recently, I highly recommend experiencing the new menu and refreshed interior under the restaurant’s new ownership. In such a short time, they have truly elevated Frustrated Chef into a world-class tapas destination. I can’t wait to return! I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but this is something worth shouting about
Lovely, comfortable place. Great tapas menu with plenty of choices. Food cooked and served well with great taste. Staff are attentive and very friendly. Reasonable prices - set menu if preferred. Can definitely recommend this great place for an enjoyable meal.
Had a really wonderfully relaxed time, but more importantly the food was brilliant. Great selection... well worth a visit
