El Barco is the newest tapas restaurant in fashionable Walthamstow Village, and it’s Kerry Jackson’s pride and joy. Wearing her working-class roots as a badge of honour, Kerry navigates the local characters in a bid to make the business a success – without losing herself in the process.
Fay Ripley plays Kerry alongside Madeline Appiah, Michael Fox, Michael Gould, Kitty Hawthorne, Kristin McIlquham, Neil Sheffield and Gavin Spokes who complete the company.
