Casa Carlos

Walk down Hallgate towards the town centre and you'll spot Casa Carlos tucked amongst the independent shops and cafes that make this stretch worth exploring. Step inside and you're immediately in someone's proper Spanish kitchen – no trying-too-hard styling here, just authentic food cooked with actual care. The 4.8-star rating across 133 reviews tells you everything you need to know: locals aren't messing about when they rate a place this highly. You're getting honest tapas, decent wine, and staff who actually know what they're talking about.
