Las Fuentes - Croydon

Absolutely gutted to find that our favourite restaurant has been recently taken over. I can only presume that for some crazy reason they have replaced the old kitchen staff because the food was not up to the usual standards. First time we’ve ever left this restaurant unhappy with the meal. RIP Las Fuentes

I have been coming to this place for many years as this is my local restaurant and it used to be a really nice, vibrant, busy place! Unfortunately not anymore, we have been told that the management recently changed and this place is not the same unfortunately. We booked a table with some friends for the New Year eve and we have been told that there will be DJ and dancing in the venue as it was in the previous years, which was brilliant previously, we have paid deposit as well. When we arrived, we have been told that there will be no DJ, which clearly we were given the wrong information and were mis sold. We have waited for the table for half an hour and when we finally sat down and ordered the food, my friend accidently nocked the grass of beer. The 'Manager ' came over and told us that they are not going to serve us drinks anymore and he took away our drinks which we have paid for. It was unbelievable! I have never experienced this in my life, such an appalling service and horrible attitude towards the customers! It was humiliating and embarrassing in front of all other customers! Since they took our drinks, we simply stood up and left the restaurant! The New Years eve has been completely ruined! They have returned out deposit later, but I will NEVER go to this place again and would not recommend to anyone as your special occasion or a simple visit could be ruined! The service was appalling!!!

Used to be a nice local tapas. New owners I believe with a new menu that has very few traditional tapas but if you want a steak it’s the menu for you! Rice dry, chicken straw like dry, lamb cutlets looked charred but raw inside. Prawns dry …..just unpleasant. The new bread selection is nicer tho lol. The only time we got service was when we asked the bill, had a £2.40 soda charge on it must have been the tap water. Didn’t wait to find out and won’t be going back so I will never know!

We had a reservation for 7pm….we arrived and sat at the bar for a drink….at 7.30 we went to our table! We were asked if we’d like to order a drink and we ordered a bottle of wine to have with our dinner. We called a waitress over to order food and we were told there was a problem with the electrics….we waited another half hour hoping it would come back in. It didn’t!!! So we paid for our wine and left! We totally understand that problems happen but they were so clearly aware of the problems when we arrived and we were not informed! We were only informed when we tried to order food!! Many customers came in after us and they were seated and they too ordered drinks!! SHOCKING….id never go there again.

I came here for a business meeting and had some late lunch on the way. We ordered: 1 x Arroz Española £8.95 1 x Huevos Flamenca £8.95 1 x Croquetas £7.95 1 x Lomo Parilla £9.95 1 x Bread and dip £3.50 1 x Large still water £3.90 1 x Coke £3.50 Food was delicious and offered good value for money. Service was timely and friendly. Would come back here.
