I organised a lunch here for a get together with family. I was looking for somewhere relaxed where we could have a good catch up without having to worry about being rushed off. South 16 was absolutely perfect for what I wanted. Staff were very friendly and attentive, food was all delicious. Loved the quirky decor and individuality of the place. So much better than a chain restaurant, would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, good service, very tasty food. Only reason it didn’t get full marks was the paella was the worst I’ve ever had. Rest of food was delicious

First time at South 16 and loved it, the chef enjoyed the challenge of making the meatballs hotter than what comes on the menu and my h8sband loved them, everyone very friendly, wonderful quirky place, right up our street

Probably the best food in town right now. A great tasty choice of tapas and they dont skimp on the portion sizes. Some very different flavours we never tried before and we were not disappointed.Good beer and wine and a great taste in back ground music along with the friendly staff make for a great relaxed experience. Already looking forward to going back and trying some more.

A wonderful meal in a lovely vibrant little restaurant. We had six tapas, I'd rate four of them as excellent with the remainder as very good.

Great range and choice of tasty food and selections for all diets although you may want to stagger the food out to the table otherwise everything arrives together. Also beware the kitchen suddenly closes and so no possibility for desserts later in the evening even though we said we would want to order some! Nice selection of wines.

Our favourite Buxton eatery. Good to know we can book on line. 'Pig in pig' is a thing of beauty. With cold vinho verdi & salad, best meal in town.

South 16 is hidden away but when you have found it, you will keep going back . Interesting menu full of interesting tastes. Order a few Tapas and then a few more. Good beer and good wine. The decor is original and the service above and beyond good. I hope it maintains these standards and deserves to succeed in a competitive market (town).
