About The Tapestry Tapas Bar

On Lower Richmond Rd., The Tapestry Tapas Bar is a tapas bar, pub and events venue with a 20-dish menu spanning freshly baked crusty bread, sweet potato fries and patatas bravas. On Sundays the kitchen runs a special menu featuring paella and feijoada, with beef burgers and chicken nuggets for younger diners, making the day workable for families with children. A covered back garden gives an outdoor seating option, and high chairs and dogs welcome extend that family and pet-friendly approach further. Homemade kombucha and a lemon iced tea sit alongside the tapas offering. The step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays, with reservations recommended and table service on reserved seating. Takeaway and delivery cover eating off site, while private parties can be arranged, including decorated dessert boards for birthday celebrations organised by the family that runs the bar.

Customer Review Summary

Birthday celebrations come up repeatedly, with reviewers describing surprise ice cream dessert boards, chalk board messages, and staff going out of their way to mark the occasion. Close behind, diners single out the paella and feijoada alongside options like beef burgers and chicken nuggets for kids, with several also mentioning the homemade kombucha and a lemon iced tea. The back garden and outdoor seating near a log fire draw repeated praise as a setting for Sunday lunch, and reviewers describe the owner and staff greeting regulars personally and treating tables as VIPs. One review notes a mix-up over which of the two locations was visited, with the Mortlake site closed for refurbishment at the time and diners redirected to the Kingston branch. Several reviewers say they plan to return, recalling specific touches such as a decorated dessert board reading "Happy Birthday" and a last-minute booking still accommodated within an hour.

    “We celebrated my daughter’s birthday at The Tapestry Tapas Bar this February, and it was truly one of the best decisions I’ve made. …”

    “OK, rewind...first I accidentally posted this about the wrong location, The Pottery Tapas Bar 😅 however it is The Tapestry's other site. I only discovered this amazing tapas bar last week. They arrange private parties and on the Saturday I was invited to one of them. The service was really friendly and efficient. Atmosphere pumping yet other smaller tables enjoyed dining out. Now, the food I didn't get the chance to taste but anything that was coming out of the kitchen looked absolutely mouthwatering such as the pork belly, nachos or the patatas pravas. This Tapestry in Mortlake is closed for refurbishment for the next few weeks but there is another one in Kingston ie. The Pottery, yay 🙌 Highly recommended to dine out or to have parties 🥳 you are guaranteed to meet a great bunch of people!”

    “Brought my Mother here for her birthday with my family - WE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME. I’d give Pottery Tapas bar a 10/10 score. The service from the owner and staff, the attention to detail and the food was EXCELLENT!!! 😍💯. Despite only booking a hour before, the owner wrote “Happy Birthday mum” on a large chalk board and even surprised mum with a beautifully decorated ice cream dessert board which said “Happy Birthday”. The owner and staff went the extra mile and it did not go unnoticed ❤️. Loved the atmosphere and we’ll be coming here again - Tahindri.”

    “My friends and I went for Sunday lunch. I know Jackson (the owner) and he was there to greet us, calling us VIPs and making sure we were comfortable on the table I'd reserved with furry seats, next to a window, and beside a log fire. …”
  • Matthew Price
    “Excellent Spanish and Brazilian food with options for all, from paella and feijoada to beef burgers and chicken nuggets (for kids). The portions are generous and the service is very welcoming. Jackson and his team went above and beyond to …”
