La Mancha, SW15 1SQ

Handily situated opposite the Putney Odeon.

Pretty decent tapas. The garlic prawns are highly recommended - a sensible amount of thick garlic slices. Potatoes with garlic mayonnaise were good. Artichokes fried with peppers and ham were disappointing - the vegetables were way overcooked.

Bob says a comprehensive wine list if you like Spanish wine - a humungous selection of Riojas - with a few others thrown in. Cocktail list fairly standard; we didn't try any. No filter coffee, just bland Americano.

A bit crowded inside, and the ladies toilets have nasty fierce push-taps and a very feeble hand-drier. Bob says it was full of irritating couples, but hey, this is Putney.

Service quite attentive and rapid to the point of spilling wine into the lap of the poor guy next to us. Bob wants me to point out that they brought a fresh glass for him to taste the second bottle of wine.
