It's in soho London and I had my stop for some oysters- I don't want to say it's not good but not as great as the oysters I had in states. For some reason, most seafood in U.K. were pretty fishy. They are famous in their oysters and I did enjoy mine. The service was really nice even tho I only had oysters and a glass of wine. read more

Had an awesome night. The waiter Antiono was terrific, and my son had an amazing meal called "The Full House Platter" which was incredible. I had the best Fish & Chip in London. This meal turn out to be one of the highlights of our trip to England. I highly recommend Wright Brothers but make sure you get reservations in advance as it is very popular!! read more

Haaaaaa seafood!!! I love it!! (I knew why I was going there!!) I booked online which was very easy. When We got there, we were quickly seated and cared for. We started with some easy cocktails which were delicious and then shared a seafood platter. Num num num. Fresh and delicious food. I have been to several Wrights Brothers restaurants and they are always great! A very safe bet if you want some seafood! read more

Nice selection of fresh oysters, though they were not properly shucked, had to work at each of them to separate from shells. Grilled prawns were pointless; impossible to separate meat from shell and unpleasant to eat with shell on. Squid tempura was tasty though a bit too oily, and very plainly plated just a few strips of squid on a bare plate. In the end we both felt we'd made a poor choice for dinner and would not return. read more

We were walking along Carnaby street when my friend was craving oysters. We decided to come to Wright Brothers which is located on the ground floor of Kingly Court and has outdoor seating. We got a half dozen variety with some prawn cocktails. All the oysters and prawns were fresh and yummy! We also got the tuna ceviche to follow. This was good too but not the best I've had. We also ordered some hot food to share - soft shell crab and fries. After trying everything, I can say the oysters and prawn cocktails were the winners. I highly recommend trying the raw seafood here. We also found out that they do £1 oysters for happy hour every day from 3-6PM so I'll definitely be back for happy hour! read more

With a lot to pick from in this area, I was glad to have landed on the Wright Bros location. I was "flying solo" for this outing and the service was wonderful. The seafood was quite fresh and the cocktails were I enjoyed the flying solo platter that included a little taste of everything. It was the perfect amount for one. Cocktail selection had me leaning bloody mary for the first round, spicy, Mary lover's don't hesitate! read more

Came here for dinner on my recent trip to London. It was one of the highlighted meals of this trip. Remember when I went to Paris several years ago after graduate school, I didn't spurge on the seafood plater deluxe that time. So I didn't ended up trying the French crab (aka brown crab). With much regrets I was determined to get this brown crab baby into our stomach this time around. There are a few Wright brothers in London, not every location offers this plater. For instance, the one at the borough market doesn't. Tip* you have to make a reservation and leave a phone number so they can call you. If you are like me... didn't have a local phone that they can reach you, leave the number of your hotel, or promise to show up on time and actually show up on time. I wanted to thank the manager - Danny. He was very nice and helpful to us. Without this help we won't be able to get a table for two on Saturday night-- booking the night before. Thank you! We came here for the seafood -- the seafood deluxe was our target. Everything was soooo yummy. The tiny snails, tiny sweet shrimps that you don't have to peel, oysters, clams, mussels, LANGOUSTINE, and THE BROWN CRAB. It was messy to eat it but it was so worth it. First of all for the price -- it was a no brainer. I've never seen a seafood plater this affordable in NYC. I am sure you can get this if you are willing to pay a lot for it. Boy, I can eat the crab all by myself and die happy. Too bad I can't eat another one because I would if I could put down more food. We also ordered a bunch of other stuff. They were good but since I was so full after the seafood plater, they weren't as memorable to me. I think we got sushi/sashimi with ponzu, grilled Argentinian prawns, and beet root salad. If I were to stay for one more day, I would go back again for the crab. The one star was taken out because our waitress was not attentive. We had to flag her down and waited for her for a long time to fill our water glasses. read more

Tip: Go during Oyster Happy Hour, when select oysters are £1. Got 2 dozen Lindisfarne, which were some of the best I have ever had. They are quite meaty and not too brine-y, which is just the way I like them. They are served with small diced onions in vinegar and lemon wedges as well as Tabasco sauce. We also got a House Platter, which we asked for without oysters, so it came with whelks, mussels, clams, and shell-on prawns. The clams were too salty for my taste, but the the rest of the selection was amazing. The platter was served with some mayo-based sauce and a lemon wedge. As recommended by our waiter, we also got a few small plates to share to complement our raw bar selection. The yellowfin tuna takaki was too thinly sliced for my taste, and the tempura fried rye bay squid was a bit doughy although very well fried. Service was great, especially since we went early and were situated conveniently by their convergence point. While the meal did make a non-trivial hole in the wallet, I thought it was reasonable given the location and quality of food. Will definitely return once my bank account recovers! read more

My wife and me came for her 50th. Ok, to go without reservation was probably too optimistic. We got admitted but were seated in a bistro-style anteroom, unfortunately quite windy and cold. So this turned out not very comfy. The service was good. Oysters were very good. Besides that I found the selection not very impressive considering the price. Altogether the evening left mixed feelings we were ready to spend but did not feel we got our moneys worth. Ok, we planned too late. Not the fault of the restaurant.... read more

Cute restaurant, wanted to sit outside but it was for cocktails only. Good food, had the steak and prawns meal. The green beans were really tasty. Not a fan of the minted potatoes but not a huge fan of mint food in general. Friendly service and stylish atmosphere. read more

Went for lunch, and had a good experience overall. We had oysters for starter, then I had a king prawn for my main. The oysters were fresh, though slightly overpriced. After the meal, we were told that they do oyster happy hours 3-5pm every day for £1 per oyster, so try to aim for that. My king prawn was good, though also overpriced for the quantity, I would say. Service was generally good and prompt. We sat outdoors as it was a sunny day and really enjoyed the experience. Would recommend it if the weather permits. All in all, a great seafood place, but do be warned about the prices! read more

We've been here a few times and the food has been consistently superb! The seafood is fresh tasting and delicious! On a recent dinner, we ordered the house platter and enjoyed every piece of morsel! Even the ones we've never had before! Then we were approached by a very nice gentleman and offered to share the scallop dish, fantastic! And as it turns out, he is the owner and checking out the food and service! Thanks Ben! We will be back! read more

Wright Brothers - Soho - Delicious! - Seafood Near Me - London, XGL

My friend Laura and I regularly meet up for something to eat. This time it was the turn of Wright Brothers in Soho to feed us before we headed off to Trafalgar Studios to see The Grinning Man. Wright Brothers is a small London chain of seafood restaurants with 5 locations around the city; Soho, Borough Market, Spitalfields, Battersea and South Kensington. We went to the Soho branch as it was closest to the theatre. It's located on Kingly Street which runs adjacent to Carnaby Street and even has an entrance there too. A fantastic location, I think you would agree. We usually go to places that have great meat or high end dining restaurants but Laura fancied a change and requested "fish" instead so after a bit of research we chose Wright Brothers. I had a look at the menu before booking and they had a broad selection of dishes to choose from. I also noticed that they offered seafood platters. I'd never had one before and I've wanted one for a long time so that's what we went for! I arrived a little before Laura and was shown to a rather small table next to the Kingly Street entrance (which became an issue later!) by a very friendly and chatty server. I take the liberty of ordering a cocktail for Laura and I and decide on a fresh number called a Jasmine Bloom. It contained gin, jasmine syrup, cucumber and soda and was a perfect start to the evening. As I had mentioned, there was only one thing on the menu I wanted to order. Luckily, Laura was more than happy to go along with it. We got the Full House platter which our server assured us was enough for 2 people. Laura ordered some broccoli tempura to accompany the platter. I'll be honest, I ate most of the tempura - it was delicious but the batter was a bit on the thick side. I ordered some wine to go with the food. They had plenty to go for but as we were eating shellfish I went for a white. I chose a Riesling as I wanted something nice and dry with light fruitiness to compliment the shellfish. This one was a winner. Made by Ernst Loosen at Villa Wolf in the Pfalz region of Germany. I highly recommend this combination. Wright Brothers sell this by the glass, 500ml or full 750ml bottle. We saw the seafood platter approaching from across the room. It was huge! This was going to be a problem. Did I mention that the table was rather small? The server put a trivet on the table to raise the platter about 6-9 inches off the table. This only helped so much as we already had a plate each, a basket of bread, glasses for water, cocktails and wine, the broccoli tempura and bowls for the empty shells. The table got VERY crowded, very quickly. The seafood platter itself was epic. Here's a list of what was on it. Oysters Razer clams Shell on prawns Mussels Langoustine Clams Whelks A whole crab Shrimp I can confirm that it was all absolutely stunningly delicious (except for the whelks; we were not a fan because they're quite strong in flavour and chewy). The seafood platter was served, as is traditional, cold over ice with aioli and a shallot vinaigrette. I'd never tried oysters before this and I was pleasantly surprised. They weren't as slimy as I'd been told they would be. They were as salty, but that's what Tabasco and shallot vinaigrette is for! I will say that my favourites on the platter were the shell on prawns and the crab which were incredibly succulent and moreish. We left q fair few of the shrimps because they were really small and fiddly to de-shell. That was a lot of food for 2 people and we did our best. We were, however, defeated in the end. We'll be returning to Wright Brothers at some point. I might take my wife as she would definitely find something to eat on the menu even with her discerning taste. We probably wouldn't have the seafood platter again as it was A LOT of food. I felt that even though we ate a lot, we also wasted a fair amount which we ended up paying for. read more

The happy hour is actually quite nice. We ordered 30 oysters at £1 each. Very good value! The oysters are fresh and sweet. Just perfect for the happy hour. Everyday before 6pm. £1 oyster! As we ordered a bottle of Rosé, we wanted to try more food as we need to finish the bottle (well well well...) Then the reason of the 2 stars came up... One of their staff was VERY RUDE when taking orders. She's white, blonde with huge eyes, I don't know her name cause they don't wear name tags. She didn't even pay attention when I'm ordering, cause I'm only ordering one extra dish. Then, of course, the wrong thing came up and I told her colleagues. She was very rude and claimed that she did not make any mistake in taking the order loudly, and claimed that I gave the wrong order. Well. So. Why would I order something I don't even eat? She then came back to me and reconfirm the order twice, to be honest, I don't feel comfortable with her intonations and facial expressions, that seems like I blamed her of something I was wrong about, when she's the one making mistakes and paying attention during work. I seldom give out low grades but that's why I'm giving the low low low grade for this wonderful restaurant. I would love to give a 5 stars, but her staff really disappointed me so much. read more

The Good: I liked the location; the place was night; oyster menu and variety; service. The Bad: the Mussels; I had them and didn't like them; this may be my personal preference but they were very large, under cooked, and the sauce was bland. The Rest: dinned with my 23 year old daughter; she had the crab and loved it; said it was one of her favorite places we ate (second to a top Indian restaurant) while we were in London. I thought the Cabernet selection was slim. I really enjoyed the oysters. The service was great. Overall I would say above average but not spectacular. read more

I came for a half dozen oysters at happy hour... Oyster happy hour is 3pm-6pm daily, oysters are £1 each. I sat outside facing the communal seating area inside Kingly Court. Oysters were tasty, but the abductor muscles had been left attached so some butchery was necessary to free the little buggers from their shells. Simple dressings of fresh lemon and mignonette were plentiful. House wine was crisp and quaffable, a perfect accompaniment to the oysters. Service was attentive and friendly. read more

Great location with food that was very good but the service was awful. It took about 45 minutes to get one of our entrees (the other was served right away and we didn't see the server in the meantime). Oysters are 1 pound each from 12-6p at this location. That's a great deal and I went through 18 for my lunch. There are daily lunch specials that are very fairly priced as well. read more

With all the people in the courtyard and the restaurant, it's gotta be great, right?! Disappointment at best, unfortunately. Was not able to reserve a table online but showed up and walked right in. Ordered a table full of the signature dishes and proceeded to completely shattered the "never a bad meal in London" streak. The house seafood platter was filled with fresh, yet tasteless crustaceans. The sauces were bland and tasted off the shelf. Large langoustines were high in quality but lacked any taste. Mussels were mediocre and the octopus was chewy and also bland. When the best parts of the meal were the beer, the grilled asparagus, and the fries (which were excellent by the way), there are probably room for improvement. Service was rushed and mediocre like the food. Just goes to show, not every restaurant is up to par in SOHO regardless of appearances. read more

Their shell fish and oyster are fresh and tasty, but the cot fillet is terribly terrible bitter, dry and ruined the whole evening.

I used to love this place so much, I would travel here from Canary Wharf where I stayed for work once or twice a week to have a dinner. Then there was a 2 year gap in my travels, so you cannot imagine the excitement I had when I came back to London for a week. I circled around this place 3 times, but in the week between Christmas and New Year it was closed. So we decided to book a table for the actual New Years celebration dinner - the only time slot available was 22:30, so we took it. From the moment we got in everything went wrong. It took them about 15 minutes to find us a table and seat us and when the waitress came the first thing she said is that kitchen closes at 23:00. Quite a disappointment I must say, considering there was no warning when we made the reservation. When I looked at the menu I realized the raw seafood selection was cut in half, now featuring just some oysters, clams and shrimp - stuff you can get anywhere. The management or the chef must have changed, because the menu now is also not exciting. Nothing really to catch your eye. So we ordered a seafood platter which was ok. They were out of two dishes we picked as entrees so we settled on something else instead. Both were meh, lacking flavor or any interesting notes. My fiance's dish was overly greasy and bathed in some awful sauce. The restaurant was pretty empty by 23:30, so I asked if there was anything special for New Years and the answer was no. We asked for the check then trying to get out of the place - and it took our waitress half an hour to bring it! I had to re-ask twice, just to make sure we leave on time. Then we were just sitting there killing our time and I was ready to leave and come back to pay later, because the last thing I wanted is to celebrate inside of an empty restaurant. 5 minutes before midnight she finally re-appeared, but the night was ruined. We rushed to the street just to hear hurrays from every corner. On top of this unfortunate experience this was the most expensive dinner we had in London - quite a price for a below average food, slow impersonal service and an overall miserable night. read more

A superb restaurant in the heart of Soho, just off Regent St., with a stylish decor, very warm, cosy and chariasatic, lovely ambiance. Charming waiters, great advice in terms of food. The service was excellent and fast. I had a glass of white wine, Mâcon Solutré. Fruity sweet flavoured wine, definitely goes great with the fish. In term of oysters, I had Spécial de Claire and Brownsea Island. They were both great, but from these two I would suggest the Spécial de Claire with lemon on top. As house staples, my friend and I tried Smoked mackerel pâté and Cornish crab. They were both great. I would suggest the Cornish crab as it's more subtle. From the specials main, I had the Whole Grilled Plaice pancetta, sage and capers. It was amazing. Tender taste with amazing flavour. Great! My friend had Red wine braised cuttlefish with scallops and White beans. It was tasty and filling. For desert we had chocolate pot & hazelnuts, and a caramel cream. I definitely suggest the caramel cream. The bill was £91 without service. A great evening and great company. read more

Very good food and very good service. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. The oysters were great. Really enjoyed this restaurant.

Easy to find in a very busy Soho, with two entrances from either side. There are signs of happy hour £1 oysters but the menu prices for dinner are far from that value. We went for a platter as there were 5 of us eating. We worked our way through prawns, razor clams, mussels, winkles, oysters (of course). The platter itself was good, but with the flavours reliant on the sauces we had to also order a lobster salad. The lobster salad intrigued us with its pairing with papaya and foie gras. The flavour was quite a disappointment - far too sweet and not complimenting the lobster flesh whatsoever. The papaya was more like green mango and there were seeds randomly added in - it did not work. The main I ordered the roast cod - it came with samphires, mushrooms and truffle oil. The sauce was creamy and rich and the flakiness of the cod was lost in this sauce. The wine was good - Australian pinot noir, but I wanted more flavour from the dishes cooked rather than remembering the wine. I will be back...for the £1 oysters and maybe the platter. Join me for a happy hour of oysters? ;) read more

Ok, if I fancy oysters I shall go here - that's my resolution. First time ever I was asked which type of oysters I like. My answer was genuine - 'I didn't know there is many!' I then asked the waiter to talk me through the different types. The waiter explained them and we definitely selected a good one! I recommend going for a dozen and choose a few types on one platter so that you can taste the difference. I like the bar area a lot, as also - if you sit there fast service is guaranteed. We sat at the area upstairs so the service was slower which would've been unfortunate, but fortunately we weren't in a rush! My dad and I ordered a sea bass to share - don't be fooled - the seabass portion served there is huge! Definitely a main course for two! And it also very simply cooked - lemon and rosemary, so the main thing you taste - is really just fresh fish! read more

Having walked past this new place via Kingly Street it stood out straight away as an attractive venture. I was hesitant to try before having read some reviews as I hate nothing more than wasting money on bad food. After having read my first good review and understanding a bit more about the company's heritage I suggested it as a pre christmas dinner venue, something lighter to start off the season of over eating. Could't have been happier, the freshest fish and seafood and great service. Prices were reasonable for Soho and seafood. We had a variety of dishes not all I can remember as it was a while ago but we particularly enjoyed the Mussels and Spanish Fish Stew. I often reccomend this place for good food, with resonable prices and great service... read more

We had walked in the area a while ago but didn't have the time to stop for some oysters. But this time we decided to stop by. And this was an excellent decision. The place itself is very cosy and friendly, hidden in a small court next to Carnaby street. There's two main areas, next to the small court with high tables and on the street side with regular table. And a huge terrace outside. Pick your preferred one. We loved staying on the high tables. As for food: I'd just go for the oysters. Lots of choices, delicious and fresh. They even have their own production which we found very nice also. Of course we tried other items of the menu, one or two were average (the ceviche) of hers were excellent (the king crab, the salmon, etc. ) All this combined with a good choice of drink. Service is also friendly and efficient. So all in all a great place to go for seafood in London :-) read more

You got to have the oyster shot! The oysters are excellent and the special oyster (I don't remember the name of the ones I ordered) very good. Mine had fresh grated Wasabi, quite fiery but truely excellent. The restaurant while separated into smaller room is a bit big compared the the other Wright and looses a bit of the vibrancy due to that. Service was good. read more

Been to the borough one too and I think both locations have their own qualities. Slightly more spacious in soho and more of a restaurant feel in comparison to the cosy and busy bar atmosphere at Borough. I like both equally. Duchy natives rule... I could eat them all day. Rockerfellas, on this occasion, did not meet the standards of Borough, still good though. Steak tartare was phenomenal. If you love oysters and shell food, what's there not to like about wright bros? great fishy protein hit! YUM read more

5 different types of Oysters well prepared--heaven. This space is really great--3 levels with lots of different setups--counter space, counter space in front of the kitchen staff, tables, and communal tables. There is also a courtyard that I will be frequenting during the summer. It is nicely decorated and we just adored the space. We enjoyed Oysters, Atlantic shrimp, crab on toast and smoked mackerel pate. The only issue I have here is if you want to have "hot" food most of the dishes were prepared "for two". The portions such as the mackerel pate were quite large. Also much of the fish is prepared whole. So it is hard to figure out a strategy for ordering. And if you don't like fish and seafood do not bother--I don't think there was a non-seafood offer except the side green salad, potato and veg of the day! The service could have been better . We were at the counter and felt a bit neglected. However, if you like Oysters, a place not to be missed. read more

Started with the oyster selection and was in heaven. Love that they have mini signs in front of the oysters so that you knew what you were going to eat. The staff were very good at helping with selections. I had the soft shell crab for my main and it was perfect. Added a goats cheese salad which was out of this world (amazing dressing and cool 'greens'). Will go back for another date night. read more

The seafood platter was terrific and had we stopped there, I would have given a solid 4 stars but unfortunately for us we also ordered other items on their menu. The tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, and lobster salad came with a very sweet dressing. So sweet, it completely bludgeoned the delicate flavours of the seafood components. I really wish we just continued with a second platter of fresh seafood. More often than not less is more and simple, fresh flavours are the best. read more

Went out for a meal at The Wright Brothers on 11th November 2017. Everything was great until about 21 hours later when I became violently ill. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and headache. Being sick to a point when only bile and blood was coming up. Met my friend at 18.15 and went to a U2 concert in Trafalgar Square. Wore gloves the entire time as it was so cold. Walked to The Wright Brothers and arrived at 20.30 where we ate oysters and prawns amongst other things. 1 1/2 hours later we left, walked to the tube station and went our separate ways. 21 hours later I was violently ill as was my friend. Symptoms lasted for two days for me and three for my friend. Spoke to the Manager on 14th November to advise of the issue. They were very apologetic and offered to refund the cost of our bill. They also told me that I would be contacted by an Independent Food Safety consultancy to investigate within 48 hours. I then called/emailed The Wright Brothers a further five times asking when I would be contacted. Finally after speaking to the Group Manager I was finally contacted nine days later by the Independent Food Safety consultancy. I was then asked if I had been to the doctors and if I could a sample of faecal or vomit. Apparently this is something else I should have been asked when I reported it in the first place but this did not happen either. The Independent Food Safety consultancy also wanted to know when I had eaten on the 11th November. However 12 days later and having been rather ill was a bit hard to remember. I struggle to remember what I ate 3 days ago let alone 12 days prior. I am primarily a vegetarian and very rarely eat fish - not a good experience. I was with my friend for 3 1/2 hours and the only common point of reference was eating at The Wright Brothers. Doubt it was viral as my wife and children were not effected and neither was my friends girlfriend. Received the "report" back from The Wright Brothers today exonerating them from any liability. And I quote "The investigation findings indicate that it is extremely unlikely that your illness arose as a result of the food consumed during your visit to Wright Brothers Soho." However they still are offering us a complimentary meal and I quote once more "I hope you both have a speedy recovery and should you want to take me up on my invitation to have you back in for a complimentary meal (for 2), just let me know." No acceptance of blame but a complimentary meal? Think it says it all. Whilst I am sure that for the most part The Wright Brothers operate a very well managed and successful business; I think that the way that this was handled and the severity of our illness simply is not acceptable. read more

Accessible from both Kingly Court and Kingly Street with outdoor, ground floor and basement seating and a casual but elegant vibe, Wright Brothers' new restaurant is a welcome addition to the already burgeoning Soho dining scene. It's nice to see these Borough Market darlings branch out across the Thames too. Service during my lunchtime visit at the bar was efficient and a lot friendlier than I've come to expect at most London eateries. When you go, if they've got Kumamoto oysters order them! Id never had these slightly sweet and delicately flavourful morsels before, but after trying a lovely starter course of them here, I'd definitely be up for slurping 'em down again and soon. I also really enjoyed my main course of chalkboard special Cornish squid with butter beans, chorizo and aioli (£11) either. However, with options including whole Dorset crab (£12.50), ox cheek, ale and oyster pie (£16.50) and an enticing range of oysters, it might be awhile before resorting to those initial options. read more

On my quest to find the best oysters in London I had to visit Wright Brothers. I got there around opening time so there was not an electric feeling to the place, other than their funky light bulbs. That said, I was greeted promptly and educated on the differences of their oyster offerings. They were all great but I think the best thing about this place was that they turned me on to using the green Tabasco sauce to spice up my oysters. Now I probably live a 4 hour drive from where they make that stuff and I had to come to London to learn about it. But thank god I did. Me and the wife are thinking of packing a bottle in her purse every time we go out to a local place at home in Texas. A little lemon and green Tabasco will top horseradish and cocktail sauce any day. Their presentation here is also very thoughtful. Each type of oyster we ordered was marked with its name on a oyster shell tucked above it. Like true tourists, we nabbed them all and took them home so we can frame them in a shadow box as an ode to our love of oysters. Scuse' the pun, but Wright Brothers is flying high in our book. Would definitely visit again on our next trip across the pond. read more

For photos see Greedy Diva @ http://greedydiva.blogspot.com/2010/11/wright-brothers-soho.html The new Wright Brothers Soho is certainly a fun place to gather the troops, or dine solo, for seafood binges large and small. Our Sunday night party of 6 gathered in the downstairs bar to share some champagne and oysters. I love the fit out of the bar area - high table seating, white tiles and exposed brickwork, industrial fittings, high ceilings and an open kitchen set the scene for a potentially buzzing area once the crowds start flocking in. It would also be the perfect place to eat alone at the bar while watching your oysters being shucked. Most of the searfood is sourced from Small Cornish day boats and is fresh and from sustainable stocks. The shellfish hails from Wright Brothers' own Duchy Oyster Farm on the Helford River in Cornwall, or other parts of Britain and France. Mmm... oysters - the ultimate creamy, salty taste of luxury. We ordered 2 dozen - a mixture of everything including the special Japanese Kumamotos, Carlingfords, Duchy Natives, Colchesters, Speciales de Claire and Maldons. All were good, but I particularly liked the buttery Carlingfords and the small, briny Kumamotos. Deep-fried whitebait with tartare sauce were slightly overseasoned but the delicate, crisp batter gave way to fresh, steamy moist flesh. Tiny Falmouth Bay prawns in garlic and butter are sweetly addictive and a large slab of toast lathered in a generous serving of fresh crab was also lovely and big in flavour. Service was friendly but a little slow - I had the feeling they didn't want to disturb our conversation which meant we found it difficult to get the food coming. But, it's still early days. Prices range from around £6-7 pounds for 3 oysters and the small tasting plates are generally around £4-9 each. Larger dishes like fish pie (£14.50) and ox cheek, ale and oyster pie (£18.50) are there for more substantive bites. I say it's very reasonably priced. The dessert menu is also appealing (including lemon sorbet from Gelupo, chocolate pot and hazlenuts or Neals Yard cheese). However, we outstayed the bar's shorter opening hours on Sunday (I think it closed at about 11pm), so we hit Bar Italia (it's been years, YEARS!) for panettone and fab hot chocolates.
