Visited Cafe AleOli in mid August with a couple of friends for an impromptu lunch. This is a new Tapas cafe which has taken over the spot previously taken by the Arabic restaurant. This is what Tapas should be about; simple, unfussy, fresh and very tasty. We had 6 dishes between 3 of us and a soft drink each and worked out at about £6.50 per head. We kept to the cheaper dishes (which are the majority) and they varied between £2 and £3.50 each. We had the following:
- Pan y AleOli – Basket of freshly, homemade breads with Garlic mayonnaise and Tomato Salsa dips
- Meatballs and tomato sauce.
- Garlic Mushrooms
- Patatas Brava (mini roast potato’s with a spicy tomato dip)
- Chicken in Garlic and Thyme sauce
- Whitebait
None of the dishes could be faulted. Give it a try and your feedback!

Note: does anyone know what happened to the Arabic restaurant? I’ve heard a rumour they are going to set up a restaurant in town and are currently doing outside catering.
