Mare Street Market King’s Cross is a full-blown culinary playground nestled in one of London’s most exciting districts. Located on Lewis Cubitt Square, this 18,000 sq ft warehouse-style space brings together two kitchens, three bars, a karaoke room, and a lineup of independent retailers including a vintage furniture shop, book store, tattoo parlour and florist. But at its heart? A bold, modern European dining experience that feels relaxed yet inventive.
Whether you’re meeting friends for brunch, carving into a Sunday roast, or settling in for a long dinner, the Bar & Kitchen offers something for every occasion. The open-plan layout is buzzing, communal and casual - with signature dishes like Korean fried chicken wings, the indulgent double smash patty cheeseburger, and a standout lobster roll served with crispy shallots and fries. For something lighter, small plates like burrata with heritage tomatoes or the yellow lentil hummus make easy accompaniments to one of the house cocktails, a crisp wine or one of the many carefully curated beers on offer.
Upstairs, Island offers a more refined, ingredient-led experience from Michelin-starred chefs Tom Brown and Brad Carter. This is where things get serious with grilled seabass with red and green salsa, steak with lobster béarnaise, and monkfish cooked over fire. The skewers such as lamb belly and clam or squid and Sobressada show off the playful, boundary-pushing edge of Island’s approach to land and sea cooking.
Whether you're popping in for a long lunch, booking a group dinner or simply looking to discover some of London’s most exciting food in one laid-back space, Mare Street Market King’s Cross delivers. Add in the deli’s hand-crafted sandwiches and house-baked cakes, or the option to cater your next event, and you've got a venue that caters to food lovers, creatives, and casual diners alike.
