Wright Brothers

Wright Brothers are the London seafood experts with four restaurants across London located in Soho, Spitalfields, South Kensington and Borough Market.

The one thing they all have in common is they serve the very best and freshest seafood. The menus include oysters from around the British Isles, France and beyond, seafood platters and seasonal fish sourced from their own wholesale company in Billingsgate Market.

J Sheekey

Josef Sheekey was an oyster trader in the late 1800s in Shepherd’s Market. In 1896, he was granted a license to open his first fish and seafood restaurant in St Martin’s Court. “Sheekey’s” was born. Its four rooms are hung with original photographs of actors from the 20th century that reflect its central position in the theatre world. Both casts and audiences flock here for immaculately sourced and perfectly prepared seafood – dressed crab, shellfish and the famous fish pie – and to continue the evening’s entertainment. In 2008, it was joined by the more informal J Sheekey Oyster Bar next door (now the J Sheekey Atlantic Bar). St Martin’s Court positively overflows with J Sheekey, its Atlantic Bar and their terraces.
