Missing the flavours of The Tapestry? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered 😉
While The Tapestry is closed for refurbishment (exciting times ahead 👀), we’re still serving all the good stuff just across the park at The Pottery Tapas Bar.
Today’s highlight: a smooth, fresh raspberry panna cotta, served with a zesty lemon sorbet 🍋🍓
Same quality food, same great service—just a different vibe for now.
We’re aiming to reopen The Tapestry in the next couple of weeks, and we can’t wait to welcome you back.
Until then, pop in, enjoy the garden, and treat yourself.
Watch the video for the full recipe & let me know what you think 👇

Com saudades dos sabores do Tapestry? Não se preocupe 😉
Enquanto o The Tapestry está fechado para remodelação (coisas boas a caminho 👀), continuamos a servir tudo o que gosta mesmo ao lado, no The Pottery Tapas Bar.
Hoje: uma deliciosa panna cotta de framboesa, servida com um refrescante sorvete de limão 🍋🍓
Mesma qualidade, mesmo serviço—apenas num ambiente diferente por agora.
Contamos reabrir o Tapestry nas próximas semanas e mal podemos esperar para vos receber novamente.
Até lá, apareça, aproveite o jardim e venha experimentar.

Big things are happening at The Tapestry Tapas Bar ✨
We’re incredibly excited for what’s coming next. As we work behind the scenes on improvements to our kitchen and prepare for a fresh new chapter, the pub will be temporarily closed.
But we’re still very much open for special moments.
We’re currently taking bookings for private functions, including large group gatherings, wake receptions, and wedding celebrations. If you’re planning something special for 30 guests or more, we’d love to host you and make it memorable.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon with a refreshed space, new rooms upstairs, and an even better Tapestry experience.
See you very soon 🍷

This is what proper tapas is all about.
Here at Tapestry Tapas Bar, we’re cooking chorizo with new potatoes the way it should be done — letting all those rich oils and spices from the chorizo soak into the potatoes. That’s where the flavour really comes alive. Crispy, smoky, and full of character.
But don’t skip ahead — the best part is at the end.
I take it outside, pour a glass of red wine, and show you exactly why this dish is one you don’t want to miss.
Bring a date, bring a mate… or just come for the food and stay for the atmosphere.
If you’re not here, you’re missing out.

Así es como deben ser unas buenas tapas.
Aquí en Tapestry Tapas Bar, cocinamos chorizo con patatas nuevas como se tiene que hacer — dejando que todos los jugos y especias del chorizo se mezclen con las patatas. Ahí es donde nace todo el sabor. Crujiente, intenso y lleno de carácter.
Pero no te adelantes — lo mejor llega al final.
Salgo fuera, me sirvo una copa de vino tinto y te enseño por qué este plato es algo que tienes que probar.
Ven con tu pareja, con amigos… o simplemente ven por la comida y quédate por el ambiente.
Si no estás aquí, te lo estás perdiendo.

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 😉

A huge moment not just for us, but for Mortlake — putting our community firmly on the national sports map.
We’re ready to welcome you, your friends, and your family for an incredible day filled with energy, pride, and great vibes.
All eyes on the river.
All cheers for Oxford.
Come on, Hattie — bring that trophy home! 🏆

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.

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 💛

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 🔥

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 😉

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 ❤️

🎸 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. 😉🍢
