Oyster Shed in City of London, Westminster

An absolute gem on the Thames. Not over filled with tourists. Great food, great service, great vibes, great views!

Magnificent place for some beers on the river

great bar ! Amazing food and a great buzzy bar

We had an office drinks thing a few weeks ago at the Oyster shed. We prebooked a separate area in advance as we new it will be heaving with people on a Thursday. Weather was gorgeous, the place and the outside was full. Bar queue had a long wait but that is expected when they are this busy. They have a selection of good beers, wines and cocktails. The toilets are 6 flights of stairs downstairs from the main floor just round the right hand side corner of the bar, so if you don't want to walk that much find the lift that is situated between the right hand side bar end and the stairs to go down. The food is very good too, and our service was very friendly, proactive and helpful. I recommend the non alcoholic cocktails, the fish and chips and the curly fries.

We had a great time! The weather was really good and so we spent over two hours outside, eating and drinking incredibly delicious food. The atmosphere was unique and all the employees were very friendly and accommodating. Great view and best location!

Visited the Thursday before bank holiday. The venue was absolutely packed. I had a reserved table which made the visit enjoyable. Had our own table and table service so no need to wait at the bar. Service was amazing, I never sat with an empty glass or waiting for drinks to arrive. The only let down were the toilets. I’m guessing with the amount of people in the venue it’s tricky to keep clean during peak hours. Overall great place to visit for a drink and snack.

Como es un lugar privilegiado para los días soleados, se debería haber anticipado lo ocupado que estaría en un almuerzo de jueves antes de un día festivo, sin embargo, tuvimos que esperar casi 1 hora para que se sirvan nuestras comidas (3 platos principales simples). Las personas que llegaban después de nosotros eran atendidas antes, a pesar de que cuando llegamos éramos una de las primeras mesas. Otro fallo importante: al principio nos preguntaron correctamente si teníamos alguna alergia. Mi invitado dijo que sí, alergia a los frutos secos. Esto fue debidamente pasado a la cocina. Cuando la comida finalmente llegó, estaba a punto de dar su primer bocado cuando otro camarero vino corriendo para detenerla. Nos dijeron que no podían garantizar que no hubiera rastros de nueces. Dije, ¿por qué no nos lo dijiste hace una hora? Nos ofrecieron seleccionar un plato diferente, pero ya era tarde, así que no era realmente una opción realista. Afortunadamente, mi invitado fue pragmático y estableció que se trataba de una renuncia general en lugar de un peligro específico, y tomó la decisión de arriesgarse. Pero eso no tiene sentido, debería haberse abordado en el punto que pedimos, ni una hora después en el punto de entrega. La comida estaba bien, pero claramente había sido calentada en lugar de cocinada desde cero por la cocina, como lo demuestra la discusión de exención de responsabilidad.

Vegetarian food options were not great!

Excellent service and food was superb. It was extremely noisy downstairs but the setting by the window with great views was a wonderful way to enjoy the time.

The fish and chips was quite measly for the price. A very thin bit of fish.

Overpriced with slow service. For a place with 'oyster' in its name there is limited choice, nor do waiters know much about them. That said, the oysters we ate were decent though twice the price of Bentleys (still the best place in town). Perhaps the view, watered down Aperol Spritzes and banging music may delight some, but not this diner. I was hoping to hear what my dinner partner was saying to me

Nuestro grupo de 13 tuvo un excelente almuerzo de 3 platos en la mesa de capitanes del primer piso con vistas al Támesis. El menú de primavera / verano de £ 50 para cenar en grupo ofreció 4 - 5 opciones para cada curso que atiende a todos los gustos. Personalmente recomiendo salmón para empezar seguido de chuleta de cerdo. El personal era muy servicial, amable y atento Todo nuestro grupo disfrutó mucho de la experiencia y no dudaría en volver en el futuro.

Lovely sun spot. Can't complain about traffic jams if you're driving.....but very, very busy on a nice day post work!

Lovely spot for a beer by the river, great service, London prices

If you want taste some London experience, this is “must see place”

Superb service and delicious food on first visit, the return a few weeks later on a Friday evening wasn’t as good. Three of the four dishes were slightly undercooked. Service was attentive but everything was upsold Acoustics made it difficult to hear one another across a small table of four. Not a disaster but quite different to my previous lunch experience.

It's a nice bar with a good location next to the river. The staff were relaxed and patient. Nothing was too much trouble. The seating was comfortable and varied. The vibe was quite chilled - music got a little loud around 6pm on the Sat we went but nothing too annoying.

This is a wonderful venue - trapped between being a tourist hotspot and a location for a foodie to enjoy wonderful food and drink. As a result the reviews are mixed. But it’s worth a visit - even if just for a decent drink and the incredible views.

Visitamos The Oyster Shed en un almuerzo del viernes de marzo para celebrar el cumpleaños de mis esposas. Nos atendieron increíblemente bien por nuestra camarera. Desde elegirnos un gran asiento junto a la ventana, con vistas al brillante Támesis, hasta la forma alegre en que tomó nuestro pedido y entregó nuestra comida. Era tan encantadora. Comimos ostras y patatas fritas y bebimos cerveza y cócteles. En resumen, una manera realmente encantadora de pasar una tarde soleada de viernes. Sin duda recomiendo este restaurante/bar , no es barato, pero lo que es hoy en día.

El sábado pasado celebré un hito en este increíble lugar para poco más de 100 personas. Desde De principio a fin toda la experiencia fue fantástica y el equipo de eventos me hizo la vida tan fácil. El personal era muy servicial y agradable de tratar. La selección y calidad de la comida y bebida era excelente. Nada era demasiado problema. Mis huéspedes tuvieron un tiempo fantástico y me encantó el hermoso lugar con su hermosa vista. No podría haber elegido un lugar mejor para mi evento. ¡Muchas gracias! Grace

Nice views but 5 quid per oyster is laughable.

Overpriced but such a lovely spot on the Thames! Definitely worth it for a drink or two on a sunny day!

Diego behind the bar was so lovely and patient with my friends and I! We had such a good time chatting and drinking and eating! Such a lovely location on the Thames, beautiful views! Fantastic service, great food, extra shoutout to Diego! Lovely guy, I want to come back with my family soon when they visit me!

Really fantastic roast beef Sunday lunch with a window seat looking out to the Thames and Shard. Very good value and would highly recommend

Excelente servicio desde lo que pensamos que era el gerente. 5 / 5 . Los entrantes fueron 5 / 5 . vieiras y las croquetas de setas eran ambos sobresalientes. Tenía mejillones para mi principal que eran muy buenos en una salsa sabrosa y buena cantidad. 4 / 5 Mi compañero tenía eglefino y patatas fritas que para ser justos venían con todos los recortes, guisantes mullidos, salsa tártara y salsa de curry, sin embargo, este principal en particular era 3 / 5. Aunque no había nada particularmente malo con la comida, la calidad no era increíble.

This place is a gem in the busy city of London. The Atmosphere was serene with an amazing view of the Shard. The food was of top quality, fresh oysters- cooked and uncooked were delicious. Oysters can’t be skipped if you are in this place. I thoroughly enjoyed the food. Service was of top notch with our attendant making sure everything was served properly and explaining the nitty gritty of the process to preparing the food. This is a must visit restaurant in the central London

Been here around 5 times about 3 years ago… I remember the food being amazing, and having come back for a Sunday roast just now, it’s either even even tastier or I forgot about amazing the food is! Service is great, very clean, and I’d recommend here over other places which charge more! You get plenty of food and all cooked perfectly! Very full and very happy.

This is the perfect place to spend your evening or celebrate your special day. The food is really delicious, the atmosphere is comfortable and the service is welcoming. Especially thanks to Valentino who provided a perfect service during my birthday celebration.

Super busy on Saturdays. Beautiful views of the Thames river. Very limited seating outside. Good selection of drinks. It takes a very long time to get served. The bar is large, but the queue was 5 deep!

If you’re looking for a fantastic spot in the heart of London with great food, a lively atmosphere, and stunning views, Oyster shed is the place to be. Nestled right by the river, this pub offers an incredible view of The Shard, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed evening or a special outing. One of the highlights of my visit was the oyster selection – both raw and cooked. The freshness was undeniable, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Whether you prefer them natural with a squeeze of lemon or cooked with a creative twist, you won’t be disappointed. Beyond the oysters, the menu had a fantastic range of dishes, all beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. The vibe was just right – a mix of cozy and vibrant, with a friendly crowd and excellent service. The staff was knowledgeable, helping us choose the best pairings for our meal, including a great selection of wines and craft beers. What truly sets this place apart is its location. Sitting by the river with a clear view of The Shard as the sun sets is an experience in itself. Whether you're a local or just visiting London, Oyster shed is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back soon!

Lovely place on the Thames. Great service, food nice, friendly waitress & bar staff. Will return.

Great location overlooking the Thames. Foods good not too expensive. Excellent choice of wines and beers

Great location on the river, good service here, bit pricey but it is London

A lovely spot by the river in the heart of the city, offering stunning views of The Shard. The food was absolutely delicious, with the oysters and scallops being my personal favourites . The service was exceptional, with staff paying attention to even the smallest details. Highly recommend!

Had a private booking for a large group upstairs on a Saturday lunchtime. Great food, very attentive service, great views across the Thames. Would visit again.

Primera visita al Cobertizo de Ostras. Preciosa ubicación junto al Támesis Muy ocupado y ruidoso, pero gran ambiente. El vino era fabuloso y el personal muy amable. Definitivamente volveremos

A decent place. The food was OK but not to my taste. I would return for drinks.

Fui en recomendación. No decepcionó. La comida era excelente, el camarero era conocedor del menú y excelente, no empujar solo la cantidad correcta de servicio. Upsold experto que ofrece vinos de postre etc

Esta elegante vista del río de acero y vidrio con una espléndida vista es un "cobertizo" en nombre de la apropiación cultural solamente. Éramos un grupo de cuatro con una reserva, sorprendidos de entrar a almorzar a un salón enormemente vacío. El bar y la carta de vinos eran excelentes. Pero con solo una especie de ostra disponible en la temporada alta de diciembre, The Shed sería avergonzado incluso por la choza costera más humilde. Aquí no hay nada que se parezca remotamente a una barra cruda. Las gambas rebozadas, los mejillones empanados y las vieiras salteadas en grasa de pollo no cuentan. No soy británico, pero francamente en casa dudaría en darle de comer a mi gato todo el cangrejo cornualles vestido, que no me interesaba terminar. Mejor pensar en ello como el cobertizo de fritura y parrilla. En estas ofertas lo hace bastante bien. Y a juzgar por el grupo de felices vacaciones en el otro extremo del piso, es probablemente un gran lugar para una fiesta indiscriminada en la oficina. ¿Mi recomendación? Si buscas un auténtico bar de ostras, este no es ese lugar. Sin embargo, estoy dispuesto a decir que mi calificación puede ser solo un reflejo de expectativas decepcionadas.

Standard Youngs pub in terms of food and service but wonderful Thames side location and airy design and view make it definitely worth a visit

I just had the most amazing Sunday roast. The guy who served us was very attentive and polite. Great service and atmosphere

Lovely spot on the river, fab food, very attentive staff and just a really great relaxing place for a chilled catch-up lunch

We are an older couple, so found it very noisy on a Friday evening but were seated upstairs (tolerable). The haddock was rather overcooked (dark batter) and monkfish slightly under but we were given complimentary coffees. Great views of the river and the Shard.

Fuimos allí para el brunch con un grupo de amigos y lo pasamos genial. las ostras eran increíbles, el personal era brillante y estaba inmaculado y limpio. nos atendió la encantadora señora Preanna que era súper amable y trabajó extremadamente duro. voy a llevar a mi madre aquí por su cumpleaños. 10 / 10

Lovely tall and bright modern Restaurant / Pub by the North river bank. Totally recommend. Enjoy!

Great place but made special because of Valentino. Special thank you to him for making my visit great. Especially since we didn't have a booking

Nice place for drinks, good views, nice service

I spent an amazing moment. Food was very good and the service as well. Special mention to Valentino who is an incredible waiter and very kind. I recommend.

Really good Sunday Lunch, very reasonable price as a very large tasty serving. Very polite friendly waiter from Greece.

This place was very busy and so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you. The food was good but nothing exceptional. It has a friendly overall atmosphere and the staff are very efficient but it's cavernous space and the background noise is overbearing.

Basically a Youngs pub with glass walls and decent seafood. The experience absolutely did not warrant the £90 per head cost. Toilets are miles away a few floors down. I was however very happy with my meal, but even here it wasn't cheap. The service was ok, but should have been better considering the price, it was pub service standard really. Despite food being decent I wouldn't really recommend due to lack of value for money.

The food is amazing at a high end quality. The staff are as friendly as ever you can always talk to them and they will have a laugh with you

Great place for business lunch. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is always on point Delicious food as well, but that was expected

I had. A wonderful night out with a bunch of friends of mine at the oyster shed the food was amazing and the view from the pub is wonderful

Incredibly kind Staff and absolutely delicious cocktails but food was edible but dry absolutely not worth the extremely expensive price. Absolutely felt scammed during this meal. The bread with salmon was super stale, the main turkey was so dry and bland, and the desert was cold and dry. it tasted like cafeteria food honestly. But like I said, staff and service was amazing. Definitely only recommend for cocktails or happy hour.

Harsh was perfect and also beers and beef burger. Great restaurant to visit, I recomanded it.

Would highly recommend this place create for parties or just going out to drink with friends

Just visited The Oyster Shed for the 3rd year in a row for my Mum and Dads annual Christmas get together. We sat on The Captains table (private room) which has wonderful river views and loads of Christmas lights and a Christmas tree to add to the atmosphere. There were 15 of us and we are a mix of family and friends age ranging from 2yrs - 81yrs old. We had the Christmas 3 course set menu and had options to make preferences to the dishes (we have a fussy eater that hates gravy!) We were really looked after and the service, food and atmosphere was perfect. Enough room for the buggy and a lift for one of us that has limited mobility. All the staff are relaxed and professional and made the day a real treat. Thank you The Oyster Shed for a perfect Christmas lunch. Hope to see you next year! :)

Unfortunately no oysters, and too loud. We were for a business dinner standing party, and I expected oysters as the names but no oysters were served, no sea food of any type. Plenty of high calories and cholesterol food: hamburgers, chips, frankfurts on bacon rolled, cheese in many forms, ah some humus with lettuce... I had to ask to lower the volume of that noise called music, even that, it was that loud that we shouted to eachother instead of talking, next morning ears were ringing and itching throat... It's probably not my type of place, but maybe for others. It was a bit too warm too.

Great view and great food! Was looking for the pink oyster bar but this shed was definitely a good alternative!

This place is gem Reece and Jean Paul gave us the best service I have ever experienced . Thank you for making our family get together so special x

Held our Christmas party there on the 7th Dec and it was very good. Service amazing. Food lovely. Valentino was so helpful. Had a great night thank you for all your help

New Park Christmas do What’s a fantastic venue Great food and hospitality Highly recommend

Excellent quick service with great ambiance, just love their food

We booked the Captains table for a friend's Christmas lunch on a Saturday. The space itself is great- it was nice to have a private dining place as we could relax and the kids could have their own space. The service by Rhys and Valentino was top notch. That's where the good things stop as the food left much to be desired. The 3 course Christmas meal for £54 a head was disappointing. The best thing was the starter of parsnip soup. I had a main of trout and they left out the greens. The potatoes were mediocre and weren't even salted. The crumble for dessert was ok. Drinks were OK but quite pricey. Overall I would give a 3 star but the service and atmosphere warrants a 4.

The large parties getting underway were clearly their priority. It was just after 5 pm and a freezing cold evening and we were quickly ushered upstairs. We were given a table for two in a busy walkway and the noise and blaring music made conversation impossible. I had to ask for our table to stop rocking back and forth. I spent the evening screaming at my business guest. The food was bland and tasteless. I had the Plaice fish and the flavor was unremarkable. The creamed spinach was coarse, stringy and tasteless. The chips were cold. Extremely disappointing meal. We both had the same dish. The worst part was yet to come…being asked to leave as they needed our table as soon as the meal was over. So rude for a £100/ $126 meal. Spend your money at a pub for better quality and the ability to have a conversation. What a disappointment.

Excellent service and food. Staff were very helpful, led by Valentine. The closed the door between two areas to reduce the sound of music where we were sitting. Good quality food. Made an effort to celebrate a birthday with verybshort notice. They were very thoughtful

My husband and I have been to The Oyster Shed many times for lunch but this time I wanted to take my son and daughter-in-law. They both loved it and we had a wonderful lunch. It is in a great position by the river and overlooking The Shard and a fabulous time was had by all.

Overall this is good place to eat, with great atmosphere and spectacular view, but food was very decent, particularly soft shell crab burger, this one is awful.

Walked inn for coffe and desserts. Place is very nicely looking inside. Got a great view through the windows. Dessert were very delicious. Team members were polite. Only one down thing was 2 times I got info back that my picked item was out of the list. Banoffie pie very delicious 😋

Booked an area for drinks for 15 people and it was exactly what I was looking for. Drinks were nice, bar never became too busy and the music was not obnoxiously loud.

I had the burger, which was lovely, family had fish and chips ( a little too much batter) good portion sizes. Service brilliant. Very accommodating. Friendly waiter. Great view of the river.

The Oyster Shed is a gem that seafood enthusiasts must visit. The selection of oysters is superb—fresh, briny, and perfectly complemented by house-made sauces. Beyond oysters, the menu boasts expertly prepared seafood dishes, from succulent scallops to a hearty fish pie that leaves you craving more. What truly sets The Oyster Shed apart is the outstanding service. Manager Valentino went above and beyond to ensure our evening was flawless. His genuine hospitality, attention to detail, and knowledge of the menu elevated our experience from great to exceptional. For an incredible seafood meal with stellar service, The Oyster Shed is highly recommended!

La comida era preciosa en general. Ostras no muy regordetas. Charcutería, vieiras, barco del día eran entrantes encantadores x 4. Para la red teníamos pescado con papas fritas, fletán, hamburguesa y hamburguesa de cangrejo. Todo bien. Vino espumosox 2 agradable pero caro como lo fueron las bebidas. Fue cobrado de más por las ostras en la factura final después de inscribirse para 3 - 5 pm especial. Esto fue resuelto pero no debería haber necesitado mi opinión. Servicio no 100% pero amable. Los muebles de pensamiento necesitaban un poco revisado y la temperatura un poco baja. Preciosas vistas. Factura final £ 359 +.

Decent city centre bar, less pricey than some

What a place, I had the mussles for starters and could have had this as a main. Absolutely brilliant food and service.

Great spot on the River, especially good when the sun shines. Very good varied menu decent quality food at the pricepoint. Gets busy outside when it's warm. Best to book a table on busy days

Wonderful meal and fantastic location on water. Very disappointed in hostess who lied about table availability at window we asked to dine at- told 4 people were being seated there and our 2 top seated at very small table watched same hostess seat 2 at requested table. Truly unbelievable

It was a really good experience, thanks to Francisco, He recommended us very delicious wine like Viña Torcida Rioja, we definitely will back to have a good time.

Francisco took care of us very well, we loved the foods and drinks recommendations he gave us !

What a wonderful experience had at Oyster Shed! The food was great, and I have to single out Francisco, who was incredibly attentive and did everything to make it the best experience possible. I'll definitely be returning!

The dinner was excellent, I was impressed with the overall experience and Francisco's service was excellent.

Had drinks with come nibbles after work. Came on a Thursday afternoon and it was really busy but Francisco made our time smooth. Really good spot for cocktails and drinks.

"Fantastic spot in central London! The atmosphere is warm and stylish, perfect for an evening out. Special thanks to Francisco. His expertise and friendly service made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great drinks and excellent service!"

Cobertizo de ostras es un lugar muy acogedor con una buena selección de mariscos. Probé las ostras de búfalo como recomienda francesco y fue increíble. Volveré seguro.

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast and a lovely view. The staff provided nice service as well.

Vistas increíbles por el fragmento. Salimos a tomar unas copas después de un paseo dominical con amigos y descubrimos esta joya escondida. El precio no es demasiado alto en comparación dentro de la zona. Gritar a Francesco que nos ayudó a conseguir una mesa agradable junto a la ventana y cuidar de nosotros.

Excelentes recomendaciones de comida y servicio por Francisco. Vine a almorzar con mi esposa y la experiencia no fue nada mala. Definitivamente algunos aspectos que se podían cambiar sin embargo la comida era sabrosa y los cócteles en su punto. Vale la pena probar.

An exceptional dining experience. From the moment you step in, the restaurant's atmosphere wraps you in a warm and welcoming vibe. The menu is diverse and well-thought-out, offering options for all tastes. Each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and presented with a touch of creativity that truly stands out. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the portions are generous without being excessive. Without a doubt, this place is a culinary gem that I would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal in a pleasant setting. The service we received from our waiter Francisco was outstanding. He was very attentive, friendly, and had an impressive knowledge of the menu, suggesting dishes that perfectly matched our preferences. Even though the restaurant was busy, he made sure we never lacked anything, always maintaining a positive and professional attitude. His energy and friendliness added incredible value to our experience. Definitely one of the best service experiences I’ve had at a restaurant.

I had the best time experience today the food was wonderful and the service was great francesco served us today he was attentive and well mannerd

Went to Oyester shed for drinks with team after work. Great place. Loved the bartenders ,great energy. Especially Francisco, made the best drinks with the best rizz. He helped us order and got everything very quickly

Lovely place by the river with amazing views. Lovely lunch experience and great service by Francisco who was very kind and helpful during our time at the Oyster shed. Would recommend a visit for sure!!

It’s relaxing to watch the cruise ships going back and forth with some beer and snacks under the sunset. The meals are not cheap, beer*2, oysters*2, burgers*1, £38.4

Only had drinks but a lovely location by the water.

Great location, super food BUT suffering from kitchen staff shortages.... and waiting time for food almost unacceptable.

Great place to have a drink. Fancy and elegant, with a modern touch. Gets a bit crowded but the atmosphere is great. Big up to one of the bartenders, Kevin! He's super nice and makes amazing aperol spritz

Had a great time at Oyster shed, the food was delicious and the drinks selection was impressive , to talk about service was top notch, Thankx!! to @Aris who was very friendly and gave a good service… over all a great experience

Great location and ambience. Average food without many vegan options

Valentino, our server, was incredibly friendly and the food was delicious, 10/10 would dine again

How on earth you call yourself Oyster Shed and you do not have oysters... Appalling gand mega pricey....never very again!
