If I could give Carmen’s 6 stars I would. We’ve been coming here for the carvery for a few years now and every time is as good as the first. The staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcome. The food is amazing. We usually share the battered mushroom started between 3 as we like to save ourselves for the main, but in the occasion that we did have starters the brie and the soup was delicious. The carvery itself is exceptional, the chef behind the carvery station makes the experience that bit better too, the food is always to a high standard and is all so flavourful. The desserts are just as good. Personally I have only had a cheesecake from Carmen’s but the different flavours each time we go are all amazing. Honestly I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough :)

Bit of English food comfort set in a local Spanish area. Friendly staff, decent prices, good portions!! I hear they do a nice Sunday lunch and put on events too.
