Bucket Seafood in City of London, Westminster

The restaurant is now called jack sprats and it was a tremendous experience. We will DEFINITELY return. My husband had a negroni; and I drank picpoul. There isn’t a wine list, just a small selection of wines to drink by the glass. The gentleman behind the bar let me taste 3 different white wines to help me choose. Precisely perfect service. The food was excellent!!! Calamari to start- heaven and my husband had salted cod croquettes. For mains we had the sea bass (outstanding) with cabbage and cod fish and chips. Great service, great food, fun atmosphere.... so pleased we were enticed through the door by the gentleman from the restaurant. Thank you for such a memorable evening!!!!

Just been to Jack Sprat's Westbourne Grove pop up for a late lunch - Whole Seabream with a Thai style sauce, chargrilled hisbi cabbage and seaweed salad. Just divine. Incredibly friendly, warm, accommodating and relaxed service. Thank you to Sam the manager, gorgeous Nigel and Nara. You must make the most of it xx

I never write reviews, but the lobster roll was the BEST thing I’ve eaten in years. I had chips with it which were also delicious. Thank you guys!!

It’s in the heart of bourgeois Westbourne Grove so I assume the name of this seafood joint Is pronounced ‘bouquet.’ Or given the ethnic mix of the area ‘Babaganush?’ I visited shortly after its opening a year or two ago, but was in the area after an invigorating classical concert at St. Peter’s Notting Hill so popped in for a late lunch. I was tempted in by the announcement on a blackboard outside of a lunch special of a chowder with sourdough bread for £7.50. Compared with the prices of the tapas sized starters or whole grilled fish as mains it looked quite a steal. Such a steal, in fact, it was nowhere to be seen on the menu or blackboards inside wheee the specials were the likes of mussels and lobster. However I persisted in asking for it and was glad I did as it was a substantial bowl of creamy soup with mussels and cubes of salmon in abundance. Elsewhere in the restaurant a group of four chatted to a waiter in Italian. Just as well I was not in a hurry for my bill!

Le concept est original (tapas de poisson) et bien maîtrisé: c’est délicieux, et raffiné, à l’image de l’ambiance du lieu. Un mélange d’influence méditerranéenne (houmous d’artichaut à tomber) et de produits de la mer locaux qui finalement fonctionne très bien ! On peut dîner léger (tapas) ou plus copieusement avec un plat et accompagnement. Prix corrects pour Londres...je recommande

We visited on a weekday evening were able to book easily via opentable. The menu is ok not amazing i expected to see.more seafood options like crab, prawns, mussels, seafood platters none of which were on there. We ordered the oysters @£3 and the guest oyster @£6 each. I wasnt wowed by them. I have had better elsewhere. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and persuaded me to try their guest oyster which has a laser initial in shell etc etc. My friend ordered the fish (halibut with almond clams) but was full of bone. Side of bread and butter is provided. Sides you must order. Wines were expensive starting at £26 for an italian white. Dessert was good but basic selection. Things that are good: design and service. Nice touches lemon on table, herbs & twine in napkin. They have a bottomless brunch option at weeke ds and £1 oysters 4-7pm weekdays.

My girlfriend and I just had one of the most amazing valentines meals this evening. The staff are friendly and welcoming, their service was nothing short of perfect. The tapas style allows you to try various bits and pieces and each dish was exceptional, the salt fish croquettes were a favourite of ours. The deserts were perfect, nice and light to finish, sending us home more than happy!

Had lunch here with a friend 24th Jan 2020. Cosy, comfy, beautifully decorated. Charming staff. We wanted something delicious and not too big and it was perfect in every way. We had Thai prawns and fish cakes and salad and it exceeded our expectations. Sort or seafood tapas, my favourite way of eating. Note to self, must go back for supper with a bigger appetite!

Fabulous food, good service. We had the buckets of Frito misto, calamari & aubergine hummus. All the food was tasty & well prepared. Desserts were really delicious. Only slight quibble was that the food arrived quicker than our drinks. We’ll be back!

I have to say for a spontaneous gathering of friends and colleagues. This place gave us quite the surprise. Everyone had a hard day... then Giovanni stepped in, he simply created the framework for what was a wonderful evening . He explained the menu, gave us his recommendations for both food and wine.. and it was all outstanding .This place is unashamedly a seafood restaurant, so if you're unsure, try it.. I'd like to thank everyone for that evening. The shellfish bisque was outstanding as were the king prawns... if you like seafood tapas...this place is a great alternative. Giovanni, you made my, Rose and Sebastian's night, you were fun, engaging and incredibly patient !!! Great Work !!!

At the restaurant with my daughter for dinner (first dish ordered, terrible, and after complaining we changed the order). Both got infected with a bacteria after having had dinner at Bucket (medical certificate available). I wrote a review and was reimbursed after more than a month afterwards, according to the owner/manager out of good will not obligation and then my review was errased. I do not appreciate the erasure without being consulted. This is the reason why TripAdvisor exists, isn't it? To advise other readers about facts, be them positive or not! Disappointed about the intoxication, the restaurant's manager/owner attitude and the errasure of my review by whoever it was...

We have eaten here twice in 4 months. I prefer not to leave reviews until you have been twice to make it a fair judgment. Both meals we had were excellent, really imaginative food and impeccably cooked. The bread is especially delicious, we will certainly be back!!

Ate here with a friend this evening. I hae many allergies and the staff were very careful re this. However, the food was over salted, bit extreme. All nice and clean though and they tried to be helpful.

Excellent food served by staff who clearly love the business. Simple menu but everything I had was delicious. Incredible value too. What's keeping you?

We had a great dinner at Bucket. The atmosphere and design are fantastic - very modern chich, great for both a date or a friends night out. The service is very good and all the staff very friendly. The food is of generous portions, very well cooked and delicious. Definitely will go back.

We went for Sunday lunch. We sat at a cushion-covered bench table for four. Everything is very carefully coordinated and stylish, modern and wood-covered decor. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and attentive but not intrusive. Food dishes were diverse and unusual and beautifully presented....

Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how good it is!! The food is really fresh and amazingly well prepared....it’s all good! Get a platter of oysters, a bottle of bubbles and graze throughout the day while you enjoy the fabulous vibe. I’ll...

My daughter had been nagging me to go there for a while. We both love fish and sea food so decided to pop along one rainy lunchtime. Although only two of us we were not shunted onto a tiny table squashed between a couple of...

Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The food was mostly good, especially the fried seafood. The clams pasta wasn't 100% a success in our view and being that the main driver for visiting we cannot award the 5 star. However we will definitely give it another...

Four of us went for my husband's birthday. To start, we had a medium bucket of mussels with lovely bread which was just the right consistency to mop up the very tasty broth. We also had the very good octopus and potato salad and raw...

I didn't know the restaurant and to be honest we ended up there by luck. We entered and the restaurant was half full. We asked if we can sit near to the window and the host kindly let us. We ordered two mains and a...

Good Seafood at reasonable prices . The mussels were excellent . The service is a bit hit and miss . I think they tried a bit too hard on the interior decoration . The bench seating in alcoves looks good but isn’t that practical ....

Love this place. I had the spicy langoustine linguine and for the price they were very generous with the langoustine! We were there to celebrate my niece's birthday and we loved how at the end the waitress who by the way was amazing from start...

Bucket is a fantastic seafood restaurant situated in Westbourne grove ✨ We ordered: ➡ Spicy langoustine linguine ➡ A small bucket of mussels in lobster bisque & brandy ➡ Snow crab mac & cheese ➡ Raw sampler of salmon and cucumber ceviche, seabass crudo and...

Nice decor and atmosphere, friendly staff but service was a little confusing when it came to ordering drinks. Octopus salad was tasty, big mussels but were a little too cold for me. The Crab mac and cheese was delicious. The fritto misto was sooo salty!...

I have been here twice now. Both times there was a good menu (which has some interesting options) and the food was very satisfying. Also the butter that comes with the bread is amazing. Friendly service & relaxed atmosphere. Will be back.

We stopped at Bucket for dinner on a Thursday evening and what a lovely place. The seafood was excellent and we would definitely recommend the cuttlefish and cockles with chorizo. Super cool atmosphere, lovely environment, great service, a little gem. We are definitely going back.

Wir hatten einen sehr leckeren Seafood Burger und einen kleinen Eimer Garnelen. Die Portionen hätten etwas größer sein dürfen, aber...

I stumbled across this little gem while walking to another restaurant. I was sold as soon as I saw oysters on the menu. It seems that I arrived at "happy hour" which meant that oysters were £1 each with any bottle of wine, bucket of...

We loved this place!!! I had hake filet and some really good drinks. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, but not overly attentive. I wish we discovered this restaurant earlier in our trip.

We stopped in here for dinner one night by happenstance after strolling along reading menus at every restaurant on the street. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere was cozy, and the food was great. I also particularly recommend the strawberry-basil-gin cocktail -- one of the...

This is a very nice bar restaurant with a superb service. Highly recommended for great cocktails too !

We went to this restaurant and we tasted various cocktails. The barman is very nice and the manager is really pretty ! We'll come back for sure !

My wife and I shared the snow crab mac and cheese. It was the best crab dish, as well as the best restaurant mac and cheese we ever had. Every mouthful was a delight!

Great fish at sensible prices and reasonable wines. Excellent service. Very welcoming, knowledgable staff

Gave the restaurant a second chance and the experience was definitely better. Great service and very good options from the menu of the day. I would recommend giving those a try! Thank you Marilena.

we visited bucket twice because of its convenience to my son's apartment. the first time they did not have the mussels he planned to order for us- we were told that they had turned away a delivery as substandard in quality. we then had several...

I wanted just to say it’s been long without find a beautiful restaurant like this one. If you’re expecting something you should not worry in there. The special of the day was so lovely and I wanted to look forward the Chef to see who...

Посреди шумной улицы уютно разместился этот небольшой ресторан. Можно сидеть и смотреть на оживленное движение за окном. Свежие устрицы с...

We were struck when we entred on how airy and well decorated this restaurant is. it has a sort of south sea island vibe to the raffia furniture, light fittings and art. you can see the chefs at work in their glass sided kitchen and...

Had the pleasure of dining at Bucket on a recent visit to London. Loved the sharing, informal aspect. Mussels were mopped up with delicious bread, calamari dipped in tasty sauces and prawns needed no accompaniment. Staff made us feel very welcome, even tried practising my...

Found this little spot in Time Out and thought I would try it. The actual restaurant is very cute, nice decor, and we sat by the open kitchen which I thought was a great idea. Actually though... the kitchen was quite dirty and seeing my...

They never excelled for efficiency but today it was the worst. I had to wait for 1hr before I can get a mini tuna tartara that I could have prepared myself in 1minute. They evidently have a management problem. The restaurant is incapable of servicing...
