The Oyster Room and bar
Eat and drink
Our kitchen is open to everyone, not only guests. Oysters come from the beds off the Street, and most of the rest is grown or landed within twenty miles of the door.
Natives are back from September.
We serve them only while there is an R in the month, which is how it has always been done here.
The menu
Every evening from 6 until 9.30. Book for groups of six or more.
