    Love the venue! Received a very warm welcome which is always a great start. A superb choice of dishes, fish, meat, vegetarian, gluten free options. We chose a mixed selection of 10 dishes between 4 of us, with artisan bread and anchovy skewers. Great selection of wine & beers. Service was perfect and our waiter & waitress were very pleasant. Another great night at El Cerde Bourne End. Thanks!
