Bringing a Mediterranean flavour to the area, tapas bar El Cerdo has announced that it will be opening this month.

The news tapas restaurant is heading to Maidenhead’s new Waterside Quarter development and will be swinging open the doors on March 15.

El Cerdo will offer an authentic Spanish experience inspired by the regions of Andalusia and Galicia.

The restaurnat was founded by close friends inspired by their travels throughout Spain, and hopes to 'transport visitors by replicating the vibrant, community feel of Spanish restaurants'.

El Cerdo owner Lynne Moran said: "We are so excited to be opening our doors, offering a  truly unique Spanish experience, with authentic Spanish sharing style dishes that are big on flavour. 

"Meat, fish and vegetarian dishes are always available, so there's something for everyone to enjoy.  We use the highest quality food imported from Spain and combine this with the best seasonal local  ingredients. We can’t wait to welcome our guests."

Offering a wide range of dishes, El Cerdo’s menu will focus on using local ingredients to create tapas dishes designed to be shared amongst family and friends. With meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes on the menu, El Cerdo hopes it can make tapas available for everyone to love and enjoy.

El Cerdo is the latest restaurant to open at Waterside Quarter, joining local favourites Sauce & Flour,  Bardo Lounge and Coppa Club as part of the new mixed-use development by Shanly Homes and Sorbon Estates.

The development hoped to 'revitalise the heart of Maidenhead and create a thoughtfully  designed lively new restaurant, retail and leisure quarter,'.

Matteo Scabbia at Sorbon Estates said: "We are delighted to welcome El Cerdo to Waterside Quarter as its focus on coming together and sharing moments with each other embodies the community spirit of the development.

"This unique tapas bar will allow diners to experience the taste of Spain in a beautiful waterside setting. As the leisure and dining area of Waterside Quarter really takes shape, we look forward to announcing more exciting brands in coming months.”
