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

in the last weekIt was a truly wonderful experience. The place is beautiful and very clean, and the staff, the manager, and the chef were all extremely helpful. I have a severe garlic allergy: when my order reached the kitchen, the chef refused to prepare the dishes I had chosen because he explained that not only were they contaminated, but all the dishes I had requested were garlic‑based. The chef came personally to the table, explained the situation, and offered me an alternative. I chose a red melon salad with cheese — it was delicious. I was really happy with it. I truly appreciate that, for them, the customer’s health and satisfaction come before profit. That’s something very important.

in the last weekDelicious food particularly the croquettes. Friendly and efficient staff. My 10 year old enjoyed it a lot. Busy and loud on a Friday night but they were kind enough to accommodate us earlier than our booked time and it was a nice busy atmosphere.
