Harden's survey result
Summary
“In the centre of this undistinguished Lancashire town, this two-tiered venue with its open kitchen comes close to taking your breath away” – “quite what Ramsbottom ever did to deserve such a bustling, authentic tapas bar remains a mystery”. “Sparkling dishes (“often relying on specialist Spanish ingredients”) are as fresh and delicious as they come”, prices are “encouraging” and “the friendly staff make eating in this sometimes packed restaurant a pleasure”. “It’s also probably the only Andalusian bar in the UK to which you can travel by steam train!”

Summary
“True Andalusian cooking in Lancashire” – Joe & Fiona Botham’s “excellent” tapas joint has a “fantastic selection of tasty morsels, reasonably priced” (“mostly made with high quality, Spanish ingredients”), plus an “interesting” wine list shared with sibling Baratxuri, round the corner. “It was pretty perfect to start with, but now you can book!”
Summary
“A real taste of Spain in the hills north of Manchester!” – Joe & Fiona Botham “ensure Ramsbottom continues to figure prominently on the foodie map” at this tiny joint (aided by its bar-like sibling, Baratxuri, round the corner). The “bloody good” grub is “generously priced”, and all day long “it buzzes with energy… and it’s remarkable how a couple of backstreet tapas bars manage to attract such competent and friendly staff”. “For Londoners, the 1kg txuleton steak available at weekends for a mere £45 will no doubt seem a bargain!”
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"A buzzing and vibrant tapas bar, with a great vibe and tasty plates. Doesn’t excuse the fact that much of their new produce is bought in frozen from Yorkshire based Spanish supplier, Basco."
