Peter Sanchez-Iglesias to launch rooftop concept at The Standard, Decimiño

On 7 April, The Standard, London will reopen The Rooftop with a brand new food concept from Decimo’s executive chef, Peter Sanchez-Iglesias. Decimiño (or son of Decimo) will bring Sanchez-Iglesias’ acclaimed Spanish-Mexican inspired dishes to the open-air fiesta spot for the summer. 


Stretching over the 11th floor of the iconic building, The Rooftop is the perfect hangout for sundowners, late night frivolities and Sunday sessions against one of the best backdrops in the city. 

Decimiño, the cheeky baby sister (...or son) of Decimo, the hotel’s much-loved 10th floor restaurant, will be serving up tacos from chef Sanchez-Iglesias in the form of Stewed chicken with pico de gallo and Avocado with negros fregoles (refried beas) and queso from the all-new taco truck. Light snacks such as Nachos, Salchichon and Maldon Oysters will be available too - the perfect accompaniment to Black Lines’ cult favourite Spicy Tommy’s Margarita with Blanco tequila, chilli, lime and agave nectar. 

Guests can also enjoy Rum Punch and Espresso Martinis on tap, as well as sunshine serves including The Standard’s signature Mango Margarita and Aperol slushies. 

The hotel continues to hold its rank as the hottest place to be in King Cross and now it’s getting a little hotter with a full DJ line up still to be announced. Open seven days a week for both spontaneous walk-ins and reservations from 4pm during the week and 1pm Friday to Sunday, The Rooftop will offer the perfect spot to soak up a slice of The Standard buzz.
