From the moment we stepped into Sobremesa in Heaton on Saturday night, the pace felt just right. Each course arrived with beautifully relaxed timing, not rushed, not sluggish, but perfectly in rhythm with an unhurried evening of enjoyment. It only enhanced the experience, allowing time to savour each bite and sip without ever feeling hurried or waiting for too long.
The food itself? Utterly delightful. Each plate carried a quiet elegance, you could taste the care and precision in every flavour. The tapas were fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully composed, offering that authentic Spanish comfort we did not realise we had been craving.
Even more memorable was the warmth of the hospitality. Our waitress was wonderfully attentive, gracious and accommodating, striking that sweet spot between being there when needed and letting the moment breathe. But what stood out most was the owner and chef. He made the place feel like a home, stopping by our table with a genuine smile, offering little stories behind the dishes, and ensuring every guest felt seen and welcomed. It was not just service, it was generosity of spirit.
If you want a night where you can simply let the evening unfold, enjoy expertly crafted food, and feel as though you are being hosted in someone’s cherished home rather than just a restaurant, Sobremesa delivers. A charming, well balanced, and altogether unforgettable evening. Highly...

We had a wonderful time drinking the fabulous Spanish wine (albarino and ribera del douro) with a superb range of tapas....see photos!! The mixed charcuterie cheese platter was the star and the padron peppers! We...
