Bar Pepito is tucked away behind the Spanish restaurant Camino at Kings Cross. I believe it is under the same worship. It is FAB ! Just like the little sherry bars that can be fround in Jerez and Cadiz. Open evenings only not surprisingly coz if I drink sherry at lunchtime , the afternoon is written off ! They have a great selection of different sherries and have a 3 glass flight for you to try the different flavours 2/3rds of standard measure) i love, manzanilla, tio pepe and Pedro Ximenez which should be drunk in that order ! They also have a good selection of wines and a great tapas menu. This place is one of London's best hidden secrets a great Spanish experience in London.
It is great that we have a bar dedicated to sherry in London. And the sherries here are a great selection but my one gripe is that they only do a couple of sherries by the bottle (and the ones they do do by the bottle are only the small 375ml bottles, I believe). If you are going as a group you really don't want to have to be ordering by the glass all the time. For the time being I would only ever go there with one friend but if they start selling larger format bottles by the bottle, I will go there more frequently with more people!
Staff at Bar Pepito kept in touch with me to confirm my booking for Saturday night and there was no problem when running late by a whole hour. We got lost but one of the female staff (sorry I didn't get her name) kindly guided us to the restaurant. The food was excellent, especially the Padron Peppers and Artichokes from Navarra, which I can highly recommend. Thank you for a very pleasant and friendly evening. The staff were great, especially David from Valencia.
Went for dinner mid week night, restaurant was not too busy but beautiful authentic setting within and nice outdoor heated courtyard. Beautiful service from our waitress Maria! Ordered a selection of cheeses and small dishes which was lovely. Very nice ambiance and great service. Will come back !
