Welcome To La Sala
We are pleased to introduce La Sala to you as your new neighbour. Our legendary flagship restaurant from Spain is excited to announce Chigwelll as the location of our first eatery in the UK, bringing our unique social dining experience to the former white Hart on chigwell Road.
Backed by a host of big names from the world of football, including Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, David Bentley and Stephen Carr, and buoyed by the huge success of our four Spanish sites, La Sala Chigwell will offer a complete dining and entertainment experience with a varied menu, based on the one offered at our flagship La Sala restaurant in Puerto Banus, Marbella.
We know that, despite many changes in recent years, the White Hart has been a fixture of Woodford Green for many years and, with the opening of La Sala, we’re doing everything we can to bring back community pride to this prominent building. The exterior will be restored to the highest standards, and the interior totally transformed to create a dining experience that will be unique in the uk.
La Sala is very much about the dining and entertainment experience, not just drinking, which makes it ideally suited to a location like this one. we will be working hard to engage with our neighbours and we are committed to becoming an integral part of the local community.

James Horler has been a fixture of the UK hospitality industry for over 25 years and his track record is impressive. He is best known for building La Tasca into one of the country’s leading restaurant chains before selling it in 2007.
With a dedicated team around him, James is committed to building the La Sala brand in the UK and making it into another success story, starting right here in Chigwell.
Firstly, let me say how pleased I am to be opening our very first restaurant in Chigwell.
The La Sala brand has successfully operated in Spain for over 5 years, growing each year despite the challenging economic conditions across the EU, and now it’s time to bring it to the UK.
I’m really excited about this opportunity as La Sala is a totally different concept and this location in Chigwell fits perfectly with our target customers.
In addition to delivering the proven La Sala formula of atmosphere, quality, exceptional service and value, I can also give you my commitment that we will be good neighbours in the local community. Right through the construction process and when we are open, we will work hard to engage with our neighbours and work with them. If you would like to speak with us at any time please email [email protected] and my team will be happy to discuss anything with you in more detail.
sincerely James Horler - Chairman, La Sala Limited

La saLa : THe sToRY so FaR
Since opening in 2008, La Sala has rapidly cemented its status as Marbella’s premier restaurant, renowned for its vivacious ambience, exquisite food and excellent value for money. This benchmark for quality and service sets the standard that La Sala in Chigwell will be aiming for from day one. Whether it’s the launch of the latest Bentley or a visit from Jamie Oliver, La Sala now enjoys worldwide brand recognition, with an emphasis on excellence, service and value.

La saLa cHiGweLL : THe visioN
Our new restaurant will offer a charming combination of quality cuisine and unbeatable atmosphere, accentuated by impeccable service and value for money. La Sala in Puerto Banus is famed as a celebrity haunt, having welcomed everyone from Premier League footballers to celebrity chefs and members of the royal family. la sala chigwell will be no different.
With live entertainment and three areas to drink and dine, La Sala in the UK will take all that is best about the Spanish restaurant and give it a local twist. In addition to the main restaurant, bar and terrace, La Sala Chigwell will also have the capacity to hold private functions, within a private dining room, for corporate functions, charity events and special occasions.

Development of the building
We have worked hard to maintain the character of the old White Hart, preserving key features and working to complement the historic layout of the building. The current, less sympathetic, modern additions are also being comprehensively overhauled with a new exterior style and more glass to bring light to the interior.
Main Restaurant
la sala brings you the ultimate social and dining experience. The main dining area presents a flavour of our casual dining experience, whether its sipping a cocktail at the bar prepared by our experienced cocktail waiters, or dining in the main restaurant enjoying a varied menu offering a range of International and Spanish favourites, we are sure you will enjoy the La Sala experience
Repositioning the entrance
By moving the main entrance away from the front of the building, we will be able to minimise disruption and noise for our neighbours, while also minimising congestion on the main road.
ouR New HoMe
Valet parking and management of parking
a plan will be put in place to manage parking so that local residents are not inconvenienced in any way, particularly when the restaurant is busy. we will make best use of the onsite parking available and also offer valet parking for visitors, with cars parked in agreed locations close to the restaurant.
Managed external spaces to enjoy warm sunny days
The weather may not quite match up to that on the Costa del Sol, but the external areas are a vital part of the La Sala experience here in Chigwell. They have been designed very carefully, using the same attention to detail and high quality materials as the interior. These areas will be monitored to ensure that noise is kept to a minimum and that a good relationship with our neighbours is maintained.
Private dining areas
We will have two private dining areas, the first positioned on the 1st floor overlooking the main restaurant, this will be used for private dining, corporate functions and available for hire. The second private dining area will be in our basement which has been designed to resemble a traditional spanish bodega (wine cellar). This will be available to hire, or you can sample this by personal invitation to some of our specialist wine tasting evenings that will be held in conjunction with a select few of our main suppliers.
