Hipster oyster pair The Oystermen to open their first venue next week

The Oystermen Seafood Bar & Kitchen, the first permanent venue from the duo behind The Oystermen, is set to officially open next week (Tuesday 4 July) in Covent Garden.

Housed within a 26-cover restaurant, the new restaurant is located on Henrietta Street and will serve up freshly-sourced produce including their trademark oysters as well as crabs, clams, cockles, razor clams, mussels and a seasonal selection of fish.

The centrepiece, as the name suggests, will of course be the eatery’s oysters, with diners able to select from a collection of oysters from all around the UK either raw or grilled with toppings.

Located near London’s West End, the seafood bar and kitchen will offer both a lunch and pre-theatre menu, and will stay open until late to snare the post-theatre crowd looking for platters, snacks and drinks.

Co-Founder Matt Lovell commented: “Since its inception, The Oystermen has always been committed to finding a permanent home from which to bring our friendly and fresh seafood concept to the wider London audience.

“We are incredibly excited to be making that home Covent Garden, the heart of the West End and an increasingly vibrant foodie location.”

The Oystermen was founded back in 2016 by Lovell and Rob Hampton, two former restaurant professionals, who have ran the business as a pop-up operation appearing at festivals, street food markets and as well as an extended residency at The Sampler in South Kensington.
