Tasca in Newmarket
About Tasca in Newmarket
TASCA (in Spanish) means an unpretentious, local, backstreet bar / eatery, offering a few tapas to accompany the drinking (and gambling!) that goes on until the small hours.
With the opening of a second Tasca in 2006, in Nuffield St Newmarket, comes a much larger café but with differently styled spaces – the Moroccan tiled porch, the back lounge with potbelly fireplace, the woodsy dining room.
All this combines to create an ambience at once relaxed and casual, colourful and comfortable – perfect for an after work glass of wine, coffee and brunch with friends, or that get-together for 20 people that you’ve been planning.
The proprietors – a Spaniard, Turks and Kiwis – have opted to concentrate more on the food, wine and coffee than the gambling! With the main influences coming from the simple tasty foods of Spain (much of it cooked in the woodfired oven), other tastes have crept into the menu – yet all in keeping with the simple philosophy of Mediterranean eating – real food with not too much done to it.
A selection of tapas – ideally shared over the evening, not all at once – could fit the mood, washed down with a jug of homemade Sangria. Or settle in for a major meal with a bottle of Spanish red – the Cordero (wood roasted lamb shoulder) basted with pomegranate molasses and harissa, just falls off the bone.
