Pata Negra Spanish Tapas Bar Menu

Pata Negra Spanish Tapas Bar is a long standing Spanish restaurant at 141 Upper Richmond Road in Putney. Its exposed brick, patterned tiles, colourful panels and well stocked bar create an informal setting that feels comfortably established. The room works for a relaxed lunch, several shared plates at dinner or later drinks on Friday and Saturday.

Tapas allow the table to build a meal from contrasting small dishes. Roasted peppers with warm goat's cheese, mushrooms with chorizo, fresh salads and other vegetable plates provide a colourful start. Spanish cured ham, cheese, olives and bread bring familiar bar flavours that are particularly well suited to sharing with wine.

Seafood and meat dishes broaden the selection through prawns, calamari, fish, pork and chicken prepared with garlic, peppers, herbs and sauces. Fresh salmon with spicy prawn sauce and pork fillet with peppercorn sauce show the kitchen's more substantial side. Changing lunch offers make it possible to combine a starter and main course in a straightforward daytime meal.

Spanish red, white and sparkling wines support the food, alongside beer, spirits and cocktails from the bar. The service is personal and the portions encourage groups to order across the menu rather than follow a rigid course structure. Pata Negra's mix of traditional flavours, a lived in interior and late weekend hours gives it a distinctive place on Upper Richmond Road.
