Pinchito

Perfect Pre Gig Eatery

The food was great, the atmosphere was lively and the service was fast, which was perfect for a quick bite to eat pre gig in Hoxton. Would definitely go again.

So, so food/service but good atmosphere.

I am not a huge Tapas fan, and the food here hasn't done much to change that view. The food was pleasant enough, but nothing Wow – altho' the Spanish omelette was delicious; the bread was disappointingly bland baguette slices (served with the food – we never got our bread & olives order which may have been different…)

The service was not good, things missing things from our order and mistakes made re. drinks. It was a busy Friday night, which was great for atmosphere, but less so for attentive/prompt service – we gave up waiting to pay and went straight to the till!

Its a nice place though and we did have a fun time.

A series of 20 minute wait for everything all night – menus, first round, waiters attention, ordering, next round, then food. Manager is incredible dismissive. Wouldn't bring chairs then walked past with stacks. Come here if you like arrogant staff that will ignore you. Completely unapologetically rude.

We went to Pinchito expecting the usual morbid standard of tapas in London to which there are only one or two exceptions. Now there is clearly another exception to the rule. The food was excellent and the specials menu was different and interesting and also proved to be of high quality, the ox tongue and mango being a highlight.

Service was friendly and efficient. The wine list looked impressive and to test it we tried the cheapest wine on the list – if that is good then the rest should be! It was more than acceptable. The bartender responded to our request for information about the wide range of spanish licqeurs on the list by allowing us to sample some of them before buying!

We had a great evening at a very reasonable cost. We will undoubtedly return.

I visited Pinchito Tapas for my birthday lunch and had the best time ever! The service was slick, with owners Tobias and Valeria most attentive. The whole group agreed that the tapas was outstanding value with favourite dishes being Hanger Steak, Pork Belly with black olives and peach and Octopus with broken potatoes. All washed down with the most amazing jug of Rose Sangria – a creation of Tobias consisting of gin and lychee juice.

A hidden gem!!!
