We are situated in Ivory House is a statutorily listed Grade 2 building, brick built over 5 storeys with slated roofs with an arched ground floor supported on cast iron beams and columns. Our food is simply great sustainable sourced seafood cooked well from the British Isles.
We aim to talk to the skipper of the boats directly to encourage the freshest product straight from boat to plate in as minimal hours as possible.
Our cocktail list is inventive, creative with great twists on classic cocktails.

    My favourite restaurant in London. And it becomes the favourite of most people I introduce to it. Except for one friend who found the food too salty. Excellent fish-based menu. Outstanding chef and staff. Not cheap but price-quality ratio is correct.

    Disappointing We booked a table for 9.15pm. When we were seated we were immediately informed that the kitchen closes at 10pm and the sooner we placed our order ‘the better’. We were also informed that no desert orders would be taken after 10.20pm. The food was good. However it was spoiled by the rude service. At approximately 10.40pm we were informed the restaurant closed at 11pm. We were then told at 11pm to leave immediately. The restaurant needs to find a way to manage expectations differently. It spoils the evening when you are told to ‘hurry up’ from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
