Yum!

We haven't eaten at the tapas bar in quite some time, we had heard there was a new chef and were eager to try it out. The dishes have changed abit but we did feel that the one menu was getting abit stale, hence the...lack of visits on our part. We were absolutely delighted with the new menu and we made some amazing choices, it was nice to see a good selection of desserts. The new chef seems to know what he is doing and obviously knows how things should be presented (we did feel the old menu was thrown on the plate abit, sorry). All in all a first class experience!More

Great new chef and some menu innovations

I have been eating and drinking at Tomatitos for many years; invariably, the reception has been good and the food has been great. I last ate there with friends about 4 months ago on a busy night and ,for once, I was disappointed with the...food as the service was slow and erratic and the food was luke warm. I then went back after the new chef arrived a few weeks ago and, on both occasions, the food was excellent...well prepared, garnished, timely and very tasty. Its nice to see that most of the regular menu has been retained, but also to see new, innovative dishes on offer.I will continue to eat and drink at Tomatitos.More

Not good, sadly

I am honestly baffled by all the good reviews on here! Staff were friendly but food was pretty awful. Maybe we were just really unfortunate or maybe we have high standards but we thought our meal was really quite bad. Some dishes reasonably nice (slaw...and spinach parcels), some sort of ok (watery, tasteless squash gratin, tasteless stuffed pepper) and some truly terrible (2 tiny morsels of floppy-skinned chicken that tasted boiled, bulked out with fried potatoes swimming in water). They took the chicken off the bill. But worst of all was a crème Catalan (crime brûlée) that was totally split and grainy - really unpleasant and just wrong. But by that time we couldn’t be bothered to raise another issue so just paid and left. Really don’t know how a place can serve food this bad and seemingly still be very popular. Hay needs better!More

Great food in this beautiful town

Great atmosphere and super friendly. Delicious food and they managed to navigate our requests to make some of the dishes vegan with good humour. Our dog was warmly welcomed. We had the suggested wine which was gorgeous too. Only gripe was the kitchen was closed...by 8.30 when we wanted to order dessert. Would have been great if they’d given us a 10 minute warning! Would definitely return.More

Best food for a long time

Just been and had the tapas, probably the best food we’ve had in a long time. Great food, excellent value, brilliant service, good cider and wine. Definitely going again, maybe tomorrow.

Great food, reasonably priced, lovely atmosphere

Really great atmosphere, the staff were friendly, and very helpful The food was delicious, it arrived quickly and was full of flavour. There was a wide variety of dishes to chose from, both vegetarian and meat, and all very reasonably priced. The portion sizes were...good too. I would say the photos of the food don’t do this place justice, it was very tastyMore

Tasty food in a laid back atmosphere

The 2 of us ate here on our first night in Hay, and were so impressed returned the following evening for a second bite. It’s apparently been there for 11 years, the staff are really friendly, and the clientele eclectic. Service excellent. The tapas are...remarkably genuine, and a welcome change from the standard pub food all around. We had 5 sharing dishes with bread and the bill was an astonishingly reasonable £49!More

Tasty Tapas

Had a 8 dishes to make a delicious dinner. Very popular so busy even on a Wed evening. Calamari was a little disappointing but overall excellent tasty dishes, especially the patatas bravas dish. Good service, by the young hopeful Politics and History student. He worked...hard all evening. Good atmosphere, dog friendly but shame on the person who let their dog bark in the lower part of the restaurant, Let’s down the dog owner side.More

Well worth a visit

No bookings taken so be prepared to wait with a drink in the patio area out back. On a Sunday evening in August at 6.30pm we waited 30 mins for table for 2. Menu isn't huge ( maybe 15 odd dishes to choose from) but...very good. Written up on a backboard as changes regularly. Everything we ordered was delicious. I suggest 3/4 tapas per person depending on your appetite. We ordered too much! Service is also good and drinks reasonably priced.More
