THE TAPESTRY TAPAS BAR

M O R T L A K E

🍔🔥 This one is something special…

Our chicken burger is an absolute must-try – juicy, perfectly cooked chicken topped with melted cheese and our rich, sweet red onion confit. Every bite is packed with flavour… honestly, it’s something to die for.

If you’re passing through Mortlake, don’t miss it (trust us, you will regret it if you do). And if you’re out enjoying a walk in Richmond Park, make it worth your while and stop by The Tapestry Tapas Bar for the ultimate burger fix.

There’s nothing quite like the moment when all the hard work comes together 🙌

From the early planning to the final touches, every detail matters when you’re creating something special… and when the day arrives and everything runs to perfection, it’s what we do it for.

Receiving a review from a family who trusted us to host such an important celebration—and hearing that we made their day truly special—honestly makes our hearts burst ❤️

These are the moments that stay with us. The laughter, the atmosphere, the memories being made… that’s what it’s all about.

Days like this, especially around the energy of the Boat Race, remind us why we love what we do so much.

Here’s to many more unforgettable celebrations 🥂

Picanha on the chargrill this weekend 🔥

What a pleasure to work with such an incredible cut. Traditionally done the Brazilian way over the barbecue, but on the chargrill it absolutely shines—perfectly medium rare, with that beautiful layer of fat melting into the meat, creating unbeatable flavour and colour.

Once underrated here in the UK, picanha is finally getting the recognition it deserves. While ribeye and fillet have always been favourites, this cut is winning hearts fast—and for good reason.

Served simply with crispy fries, fresh chimichurri, and a light salad… and judging by the reactions this weekend, it’s been a real hit.

If you’re passing through Mortlake, pop into The Tapestry Tapas Bar—if you’re lucky, you might catch it on our specials 😉

Straight off the chargrill 🔥

Beautiful cut of Brazilian picanha, cooked to perfection with that rich fat cap melting into the meat… juicy, tender, and full of flavour.

Now the question is 👇
Is this medium rare… or do you like it a bit more cooked? 🤔

170 people. One night. Unforgettable energy.

Yesterday we hosted a special opening at The Tapestry Tapas Bar — and what a success it was. After 30 years in catering, it still amazes me how powerful the right atmosphere can be. The vibe, the laughter, the connections… that’s what it’s all about.

The Tapestry isn’t just a venue — it’s a place to meet, celebrate, and create memories with the people who matter most. It’s always been special to me… and once you host your party here, it will be special to you too.

Thinking about a party or gathering? Give us a call — we’ll make it unforgettable.

#TapestryTapasBarVibes #PartyInLondon #TapasExperience #MakeMemories #EventSpace

It’s always so special to see friends stopping by 💛
Even on a busy day like today, with a big function for 170 people, we always find a way to make space.

Lilian and Rosa popped in for a lovely tea, and it honestly made our day — moments like these remind us what it’s all about.

⸻

É sempre tão especial ver amigos passando por aqui 💛
Mesmo num dia corrido como hoje, com um evento grande para 170 pessoas, a gente sempre dá um jeitinho de encaixar.

A Lilian e a Rosa vieram tomar um chá, e isso fez o nosso dia — são esses momentos que realmente importam.

Back in action 💥

After three weeks closed, today was all about getting the pub ready again — clearing, setting up, and pulling everything together for a big one…

Tomorrow afternoon we’re catering for 170 people, and we couldn’t be more excited to be back doing what we love 🍽️🍻

It’s been a full-on day, but everything is now in place and ready to go. Massive shoutout to the team who worked hard behind the scenes to make it happen — you smashed it 👏

Now we’re all set… let’s crack on and make it an unforgettable afternoon 🔥

Are you eating this dessert right? 👀🍫

Looks innocent… but it’s not 😏

Chocolate pot on top, but the real magic is hiding underneath 👀
Salted caramel at the bottom — and if you’re not digging deep enough, you’re missing the whole point 😅

One proper spoon: chocolate + caramel + a touch of salt… that’s where it all comes together 😉

Be honest… how would you eat it?

POV: I finally have a day off from the restaurant… and instead of resting, I’m at home making one of my all-time favourite desserts — a tres leches cake.

This cake is simple, indulgent, and made for sharing. What makes it special is the sponge — there’s no butter and no oil, so it bakes light and slightly dry. That’s exactly what you want, because it soaks up all that rich tres leches milk beautifully, turning it into something incredibly soft and irresistible.

⸻

🍰 Tres Leches Cake Recipe

🛒 Ingredients

For the sponge:
• 240g flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 5 eggs (separated)

For the tres leches soak:
• 2 tins condensed milk
• 2 tins evaporated milk
• 1 cup milk
• 150ml Baileys (optional)

For the topping:
• 1 pint whipped cream
• Fresh strawberries, sliced

⸻

👨‍🍳 Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 20cm x 30cm tray with butter.
2. Whisk the egg whites until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
3. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold everything together to keep the mixture airy.
4. Pour into the tray and bake for about 30 minutes, until golden and set.
5. Mix together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, milk, and Baileys to create the tres leches sauce.
6. Once the cake is baked, poke holes all over the sponge and slowly pour the milk mixture over, allowing it to soak in fully.
7. Top with whipped cream and finish with fresh strawberries.

⸻

Serve it straight from the tray, gather your friends and family, and enjoy every single bite… because this one won’t last long

🌿 House Chimichurri Recipe 🌿

We’ve been making big batches of our fresh chimichurri here at the pub, and it’s too good not to share…

🧄 Ingredients
• 1 whole onion
• 3 shallots
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 cup red wine vinegar
• 60ml water
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp chilli
• 2 tbsp oregano
• 40g coriander
• 40g flat parsley
• 3 stems fresh mint

👨‍🍳 Method
Chop everything nice and fine, throw it all into a big bowl, and mix well until fully combined. Let it rest for at least 4 hours so all those beautiful flavours come together. Keep it in the fridge — it’ll last up to 4 days.

Perfect with meats, veggies, or just about anything 🔥

If you fancy making it at home, go for it…
But if you’d rather sit back, relax, and enjoy a proper night out — come down to The Tapestry Tapas Bar and let us cook for you 😉

Hoje tivemos uma visita especial aqui no Tapestry Tapas Bar 🤎

Amigos que costumam frequentar o #PotteryTapasBar vieram experimentar o que temos por aqui… e vieram com apetite! 😄

Começaram pela nossa feijoada (e que bela escolha 👏), provaram alguns tapas, e agora estão oficialmente a ficar viciados no nosso chocolate fondant — lindamente decorado e absolutamente irresistível 🍫✨

E para fechar como deve ser? Um duplo espresso, sem açúcar. Porque aqui faz-se tudo com intensidade 😉☕

É sempre um enorme prazer ver-vos, receber-vos e partilhar aquilo que fazemos com tanto gosto. A casa é mesmo vossa.

Today we had a special visit here at Tapestry Tapas Bar 🤎

Friends who usually hang out at PotteryTapasBar came to try what we have here… and they came hungry! 😄

They started with our feijoada (what a great choice 👏), tried some tapas, and now they’re officially getting hooked on our chocolate fondant — beautifully decorated and absolutely irresistible 🍫✨

And to finish it off? A double espresso, no sugar. Because here, everything is enjoyed with intensity 😉☕

It’s always such a pleasure to see you, welcome you, and share what we do with so much love. The bar is always yours.

Last night at The Tapestry was one for the books.

Two 50th birthdays (we’re calling it 150 years of brilliance between them 😉), a fabulous 60th, a loud-and-proud 18th, and even a wedding celebration thrown into the mix. The pub was full of hugs, laughter, clinking glasses and proper good energy.

It was everything we’re about — friends, family, celebrations big and small, and memories being made around the table.

A huge thank you to everyone who chose to celebrate with us. The atmosphere was electric, the smiles were real, and I’m pretty sure there are a few sore heads this morning. We loved every minute of it ❤️

Great music, great people. We love live music ❤️! Watch out for some updates and pop ups #paella #livemusic

🎸 We booked The Creak for live music…

Sam heard one song and is now “exploring opportunities in the music industry.”

We’re unclear on his qualifications.
We’re very clear he’s on shift tomorrow.

Sam, please. The pub is your arena. The Pints are your instruments.

One of the most popular dishes on our menu… and honestly, we’re not surprised. 😏🔥

Why? Because these are the juiciest, most mouth-watering, ridiculously tender chicken and beef skewers you’ll ever encounter.

Perfectly grilled, packed with flavour, and guaranteed to disappear fast. Order one to share… if you’re feeling generous. 😉🍢

How do you like your steak?

Rare? Medium? Well done?
Or… with a free glass of wine on the side? 😉🍷

Because honestly, however you like it cooked, it just tastes better when it comes with a little cheers included. 🥩✨

Noughts and Crosses at the table… but the real winner is the chorizo 😏

Life’s about good times, sharing, and actually being together — and there’s nothing better than doing that over tapas at the pub. Our chorizo & new potatoes is one of our best sellers for a reason… sizzling, smoky, and made for passing around (or fighting over 👀).

Bring your good friends, bring the family, make memories, play together… and if you lose the game, you pay the bill.
And yes — you can even play with the chorizo, we won’t judge.

This beauty was made for a party…
But emotionally? It belongs to him.

Warning: Stand too close to a paella and you’ll start making long-term plans together.
