Modern, British seafood in the heart of Covent Garden.

Founded by friends and seasoned restaurateurs Matt Lovell and Rob Hampton, The Oystermen exists to bring people together in a relaxed setting to enjoy high quality seafood and oysters sourced from all corners of the British Isles. We are driven by provenance, sustainability and old school hospitality; and tend to avoid the white tablecloth formalities that often come with seafood restaurants.

OUR MENU 

Our ever-changing menu is centred around the use of high quality and ethically sourced seafood from all corners of the British Isles. This changes often - sometimes weekly, depending on what’s available from our suppliers - so the menus shown on our website aren’t always 100% up-to-date.

OPENING TIMES 

We are open for lunch and dinner from 12 - 3pm and 5 - 10pm Tuesday to Sunday.

Please note that on Mondays, we are open for dinner only (5 -10pm). This is so that our team can enjoy a well earned rest.

Reservations are strongly recommended.

FRESH DORSET CRAB

“It’s small and cosy inside, painted and furnished and lit very plainly with oyster and crab prices scribbled on blackboards, like one imagines Covent Garden fish restaurants in the days of old to have been.”

— Giles Coren, The Times
