Make sure that you go on a Thursday,Friday or Saturday. The show started about 8.45 and was quite intense. I loved it. You could have been in Spain. I love live entertainment and this was enjoyable. Food was good and typical Tapas and for four of us drink included was £110 which is fine.. We will return. More

We were a party of 6 who booked a table at the 18:15 sitting. From the start we were left waiting at the table without menus for 10-15 minutes, we were then given 3 menus and left for about another 10-15 minutes. The waitress returned and gave us another 3 menus but we didnt need them by then having shared... More

Went back to Ole Ole on Friday night, (we are regular visitors as we love the food and entertainment so much and have never been disppointed - it's always excellent.) We were treated to an amazing performance by visiting guitarists and a dancer from Spain. As always the food, service and performance by regular musicians and flamenco dancer was outstanding... More

I've been there with my girlfriend there was a Flamenco show, too. I enjoyed the evening because the food was surprisingly good. The seafood was well cooked, neither stodgy nor oily. I have also a good opinion about the atmosphere as a whole. Energetic and exciting live flamenco band, typical interior, true Spanish staff! If you don't want to miss... More

Wow! What a fantastic place to eat! Four of us had more than enough tapas, bread, olives and tinto de verrano to keep us happy for 4 hours and it cost less than £20 per person! The food was AMAZING! better than you would find in any commercial bar in Madrid, it was just like the fantastic little tapas bars... More

Booked a meal for 12 work colleague as part of a night out, after a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. The service along with the food was fantastic. We had the set menu, which consisted of an unbeliveable amount of tapas dishes, which seem to keep coming, followed by the tastiest paella I have ever had,... More
