The Oystermen to open first permanent site in Covent Garden
Seafood restaurant the Oystermen is to open its first permanent site on Henrietta Street in London's Covent Garden this summer.
The Oystermen was founded in 2014 and started life as a pop-up restaurant, holding a residency at the Sampler in South Kensington for the last ten months.
The menu will showcase the best British oysters, allowing diners to choose their own ranging from freshly-shucked in the half-shell to buffalo-barbecued and Cajun-battered.
Alongside oysters, guests can also order whisky and oak smoked trout; smoked mackerel and horseradish pate; mussels; south coast crab; and daily fresh fish specials.
Co-founder Matt Lovell said: "The launch of The Oystermen Seafood Bar & Kitchen is the next natural step in delivering our fun, friendly and fresh concept to the wider London audience. We have spent a lot of time sourcing brilliant products and ingredients through independent suppliers, and also in selecting the team that will deliver only the best consistently."
