   We visited last Saturday 6/12/25 for a family celebration. The food was very good, we had a full range of tapas and it was served promptly as we had pre ordered as a booking of 8. However when we made the booking we were not advised we would be sat outside in a covered area with heaters, which lacked atmosphere and was cold. The restaurant area was lively, warm and vibrant when we left , would advise anyone to check where you will be seated before you book. Have sent an email voicing our disappointment but no reply.

   Visited yesterday and had the Tapas Tasting menu. Greeted warmly by the new owner, and made to feel very welcome indeed. Excellent food and service and we experienced a real taste of Spain with the most delicious tapas dishes. Spanish music playing, lovely ambience, chilled and relaxing. Fab cocktails, too! A definite winner and can’t wait to return, thank you; we are lucky to have this amazing tapas restaurant /bar (and secret garden!) in Portishead.

   We went for a roast dinner at Venga. Our booking was at 4pm. Great service and atmosphere the food was very nice and a good choice of vegetables. My only complaint was no roasties only new potatoes. We both wanted the Mediterranean chicken but they had run out due to a large group booking. So I would suggest you request on booking so you are not disappointed. We also had a jug of Sangria with the meal. Overall nice food and friendly staff

   What a roast ..... with a twist. Early birthday treat. Thank you to Campbell and his staff. Such good service, as always. Loved every minute of it. Best beef I have ever had. It came out in a huge paella dish (hence the twist) and the cauliflower cheese was in another dish. Too much for us to finish it all (shame) but we had a good go and yes we finished the cauliflower cheese :) can't wait to come back.

   We were here visiting for our sisters’ 40th birthday and had the garden area booked for the celebration! The staff were friendly and helpful, service was excellent and the music was great! We had an absolute blast and didn’t want it to end! Thank you to the team for a truly memorable evening!!

   Came for an evening meal with family coming over from the US. Easy to book and a lovely welcome. Very good service from waiters and nice ambience. We ordered 2 tapas each plus chips and 2 bottles of white wine between 4 of us. The quality of the food was excellent, so we ordered a dessert dish, which took a long time coming, so we weren’t charged for it. Total cost came to £30 each for the meal which is not cheap, but it is very good quality!
