If you can't get a table inside then there's always the take out hatch where you can grab a coffee, but the best people watching and food munching is going to be done from the inside out.

This authentic Spanish deli serves up a selection of tapas and snacks which were good enough for even our very own native Spaniard to give her nod of approval to. A Chorizo and Manchengo bocadillo, followed by a plate of churros was the most popular selection on our table. The enormous jamon, which we didn't manage to sample, is already beckoning us back for round 2. Take Out also available and there is spacious (and almost hidden) seating which was perfect for the little lunch clubbers.
