La Gaditana repossessed :(

It seems the landlord has taken back the Spanish restaurant in North Cross Road as of yesterday :(


There are notices in the window.


What a shame, all that work done on it and then it never really opened :(

Had really wanted this place to be successful but the lack of fresh cooked food meant it struggled. We had a lovely evening there once, fabulous music, attentive staff, great wine ... Left down by re-heated packet food they sold in the shop.

Real shame, though it always seemed more like a labour of love than a thriving business. I love Spanish food, their olives and ham were amazing but they never had a lot of people in there and never seemed to make the hot food business work (didn't help that they took forever to do up the kitchen/eating area).


Hope the guys that ran it don't give up, lovely people and great produce.

Well I walk past the place most nights (and during the day) It was seldom open..


People are not going to trudge down there just to find it CLOSED.

So when it was open there were very few customers. I'm not surprised it closed down.

I'm not surprised it closed down but it was a nice place, nice food and staff. Agree the refurb resulted in a badly planned shop / eating area which was a shame. Hopefully it will be taken over by a similarly nice bunch of people. Would be great to have a Spanish tapas place a la Miss Tapas or Angels & Gypsies (but better) :)

    • Anyone have any amount going over the next 4 weeks? thank tou
    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
