As a former Roman settlement, Maidenhead is no stranger to the joys of continental cuisine. El Cerdo sits at the heart of Maidenhead’s canal-side Waterside Quarter with outdoor seating available next to the water. There’s something magical about sitting outside with the gentle ripple of the canal that just seems to make our food taste even better!
The star of the show in Maidenhead is our impressive charcoal oven, handpicked by our Executive Chef to bring the unique smoky flavours of Spanish tapas to life. Built using the same bricks and techniques as charcoal ovens have been throughout Spanish history, our oven creates ‘ahumado’ (mouth-watering smokiness) for you to savour.
When you join us in Maidenhead, you can expect a hearty, Spanish welcome along with a truly unforgettable dining experience. Although you enter the restaurant as a guest, you will leave as part of the El Cerdo family… And with a warm glow in your belly that only great food can bring!
You can find El Cerdo at The Colonnade, Maidenhead SL6 1QG

3 weeks agoThere are so many average places to eat these days, it’s always a delight to find an absolute gem! If you are looking to find the most perfect slice of Spain, then El Cerdo is the place you need to be heading. From the initial warm welcome by Daniel who looked after us so well through to the amazingly tasty and beautifully presented food carefully crafted by Diogo and his team, the whole experience left us wanting more. Sat outside soaking in the evening sun, we were whisked away to relaxing memories of holidays in Spain, we will definitely be back and soon.

2 weeks agoCelebrated a birthday with all our family. We had a big party of 19 people, including a couple of children, but the team dealt with all of our requests amazingly. Isla was our main server and she was just fabulous - very attentive, nothing was too much to ask. She made our dinner really special. Thank you so much!

6 months agoFirst time at El Cerdo. Nice restaurant, nice setting in Maidenhead town. Only open for lunch Friday and Saturday, so Friday was quieter and a nice atmosphere. We all enjoyed the quality, taste, and variety of tapas dishes. For 3 of us we opted for lunch 2x3 selected tapas, adding one special from board, and bread with olive oil. The size of the dishes was perfect, not too small as tapas in other places can feel like a ration. Large drink selection, though not non alcoholic cider. Lunch closes at 15:30 so our lunch from 13:15 was leisurely with dishes arriving as ready. All very Spanish! Staff were attentive and helpful. Individual men and ladies toilet.
