Mar I Terra
We have the most amazing, loyal clientele, some of whom have been coming since week one, and can honestly say we've never hankered after the throngs of passing trade on the High Street. We're not for everyone, but if you like simple, authentic Spanish food (we ship our olives, olive oil, charcuterie, nuts, piquillo peppers and baby broad beans, as well as other products ourselves direct from artisan producers in Spain, not to mention the best espresso beans from Puglia!), an idiosyncratic but well-annotated wine list - all Spanish, of course - and an atmosphere which, if I was just a little cheesier I would call "simpatico" - we'll settle for congenial - you might want to come along.
We have space for forty in the ground floor/bar area, a walled garden seating another forty, which is delightful in the warmer months, and an upper room of similar capacity which we often use for private parties.
PRIVATE HIRE
At Mar I Terra, our first-floor restaurant is available for private hire. We can accommodate up thirty people and welcome any occasion. For further details please fill out the short form below and we will contact you upon receipt. For info please contact us directly.

A great find and always an enjoyable experience. Good is lovely as are the staff. Book a table as it’s very small and queuing out of the door. Will be back.

Had 6 delicious dishes and bottle of house white - would have them all again but have more we’d like to try next time! Easily could have lingered and kept sampling if wasn’t so full !!

I come to London every year with 2 friends and we always try to come to this lovely restaurant. The food is fantastic, the staff are really friendly and it's always a great atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit in 2026
