The arrival of autumn means its harvest time for some of our favourite fruits

Jammy bourjassote noire figs served over halloumi and dressed in honey infused with black pepper, nigella seeds, sesame and thyme
Sweet, salty, with some black pepper spice, can’t get much better than that

Persimmon, rocket, croutons and red onion, all tossed in a sharp, tangy little vinaigrette
Inspired by a classic panzanella, this is its fruity alternative

Late season heritage tomatoes tossed in a leek and ginger dressing with some citrus, garlic and vegan fish sauce
An umami flavour bomb that keeps you coming back bite after bite
(Seriously though, we’ve had two bowls already today…)

All here for a good time but not a long time, come and try them whilst you can!

Also, a wee PSA, that we’re closing between October 7th-21st, reopening October 22nd so come and see us before then

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our third festival season!

This year was our busiest yet and we know so many of you didn’t manage to join us, so, with that in mind we’re extending our Festival set menu until the end of September 12th

Same menu, same price but without the craziness of the Fringe. The menu will be available to all bookings until the end of September 12, after which we’ll be taking a wee break to recharge

And, as always, a massive thanks to all you wonderful people! We, literally, could not do this without you all!

Big, big love 💛🥒

Third festival season is a go!

There’s been lots of requests for it, so we’re bringing back our Sharing Set Menu as a little festival treat for you all

Five sharing plates full of wonderful summer produce, changing to suit the best of the fresh, organic goodies available to us. The menu is designed to be equally perfect for those looking for a quick meal between shows or for those looking for a more relaxed meal away from the hustle and bustle

The menu will be available for lunch and dinner, alongside our A la Carte menu from July 30th through to August 30th. We’re only small and things get very busy so booking a table is very strongly recommended! Walk in tables are rare, especially at evenings and weekends.

As always our set menu is vegetarian and can be adapted for vegans
Our five plate sharing menu is priced at £45 for two and additional guests can be added for 22.50 per person

We currently have a temporary alcohol license so will be offering some boozy beverages to enjoy alongside our menu. BYOB will still be available if you prefer to bring your favourite bottle(s)

We hope to see you soon!

Two of our menu staples - finally photographed for the grid after two years!

Staples of the menu here at Mara’s you’ve probably enjoyed them before but these gems deserve their time to shine

Our pickle plate; our chai spice pickled grapes and seasonal house pickles served with our pickle butter and toasted sourdough
We rotate the pickles depending on what goodies we have but the grapes, as such a fan favourite, remain a staple year round

Baba Ganoush; Not traditional but delicious. A no waste number, we use the skin of the aubergine as well making for a darker baba with more of that Smokey flavour all balanced with tahini and lashings of pomegranate molasses. Topped with our house za’atar mix, pomegranate and some toasty pita for scooping

If you have a booking with us over the next couple of weeks, we will be in touch shortly via email. We don’t have a timeline on re-opening yet, bookings are provisionally open from the end of the month but this may be pushed back

We thank you all for your understanding, love and ongoing support 💛

Our new dessert, here to stay for the festive season, our chai version of a classic tiramisu!

Mama Patel’s chai soaked Indian rusk biscuits layered with a cardamom mascarpone cream and served with a mince pie inspired apple and dried fruit compote

A beautiful dessert that’s a small departure from the Christmas classics but all the better for it
