Richard Haward's Oysters in Southwark

Worst Chinese I have ever had, food was cold, egg rice was bland and no taste, curry beef was inedible, meat was chunks of grizzle. Chips cold and tasted old. What a disappointment over half gone in the bin

Everything was prefect from the food to delivery 👌

Food was amazing! Still hot when delivered and very tasty. Def will order again 😁

Food did not taste fresh and was quite bland

Normally my go to for Chinese as its great food and service, but from ordering to delivery being 2hrs, no updates unless I chased it which is a shame, I'll find a closer resturant different one next time.

Order never arrived although it said it had. Didn’t get any notification to say it would be late and asked for a call back for an update (which they forgot about) & said it would be an extra half hour of cooking time which was too long so I cancelled

tofu was a little hard and over done.

I recently visited this oyster shop with a group of friends and ordered a dozen oysters and cherry stones, which turned into an absolute nightmare. Just 24 hours after our meal, four of us were hit with severe food poisoning. We all experienced intense vomiting, diarrhea symptoms that lasted well into the next day. It was incredibly distressing to see my friends suffer, especially since I was the one who suggested we dine there. I regret taking them to this place, and I feel a great deal of frustration over the lack of food safety that seems to have led to this awful experience. Given what we've gone through, I can't imagine ever returning. I sincerely hope the restaurant takes this incident seriously and improves its quality control—no one should have to endure what we did.

I love Chinese Food. I have been to Over 300, Places, I had ordered here, and heres the outcome. 🏆This Has Been Rated No1 For The Best Special Fried Rice🏅 and I will order again.

What more can I say it’s my most local restaurant but the standard is always high!!

the ribs tasted funny full of onions, just tasted of onions they did not taste of peking style,no sauce, in all of the dishes we ordered the meat was chewy, the only dish that was tasty was the duck. and it wasn't worth £78 of my money it was very disappointing.

The quality was fine but one of the dishes which is a usual go to for me, I just didn’t like. There was nothing wrong per se but different recipe perhaps! Like I said nothing wrong Just not for me

Excellent service 👍 piping hot foods and super quick delivery 🚚 thank you for accommodating my special request ☺️

My husband and I went on Friday 11th October and had 4 medium oysters each. My husband started with severe vomiting and Diarrhoea on Saturday night. I had them from Sunday morning. We were really sick. Our daughter, who did not eat oysters, has started today to have symptoms. My husband and I got Norovirus from the oysters and passed it to our daughter. AVOID THAT PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

On the whole the food was good. The only thing I didn’t like was the capital chicken. I’ve had capital chicken several times from other restaurants and it’s usually a dark fruity sauce with a bit of a spicy kick, but the one I received from this restaurant was pale, watery and a bit tasteless, and not really like capital chicken at all which was disappointing. On the whole the food from this restaurant is pretty good though, to be fair. 3.5 out of 5.

Nice food great service will order again! 😊

Everything prefect hot delicious food

Terrible service, food was late , lied on the app about delivery the food when it wasn’t even delivered in the first place x

food is 20mins late so far and still not been delivered. I have called the restaurant and the problem still hasn't been corrected

Food came hot but wasn’t nice to eat. Chicken balls were terrible flavours not very nice wouldn’t recommend

It was ok, would I recommend….probably not

Food is sublime. I chose them by mistake but i am very happy with the quality and taste of the food and recommend them.

Order arrived a little late, but the driver was a nice guy and apologised saying they were very busy, which is fine and is to be expected on a Friday evening. Food was good on the whole. Chicken with cashew nut in yellow bean sauce had good flavour, as did the special curry and rice. The chicken balls were a little bready, with some having more batter than chicken, and sweet and sour sauce was a little runny, but on the whole the food was good quality and would order again. Thanks.

my food was over two hours late and cold i am pregnant and VERY unhappy with my order.

my food arrived over 2hrs after I ordered it and items were either missing or incorrect.

food was still nice and hot when it arrived everyone enjoyed it 😋👏

My order was late and I was charged a delivery fee but delivery should have been free as stated on your site as my order was over £12.50 so I require a refund for the delivery charge

my order was over a hr and a half late by the time it came I was to tired to eat it not happy

Had to call the restaurant twice and on both times were told that the food would be with me in 20mins. First time took 1hour between phone calls. Food was nice but the waiting time was definitely not worth it

First time trying Oysters, food excellent although the house ribs were not my cup of tea. Will definitely be trying other dishes

Nice food with generous portions and good flavours. Would recommend.

chow mein was dry, the curry sauce lacked flavour, and the chicken balls were very little chicken and all batter. disappointing

Rice and noodles and Hong Kong chicken lovely but curry sauce was not nice had no flavor and tasted a bit like crayon really weird

This was my first experience of eating an oyster and it will not be my last ! A great experience, superb service, quality product .

Lovely food delivered had spare ribs chicken chow mein and Hong Kong chicken all fresh hot and delicious 10/10

Really nice meal, ribs abit dry though.

The food is tasty and piping hot and on time however the driver that delivered to me was rude to me and shouted at me because he couldn’t get in the block as we had to let him in

wasnt so keen on the special fried ribs - more like battered bones. But the food was early & hot & had extra spring rolls thrown in so im no so upset!

Sent the wrong food items. Busy so don’t have time to wait for a new delivery

Food hot and delicious as normal. Portions on the large size

Disgusting food Please guys do not order from this place You pay for a decent £8 meal and what you get is a scrubbing eggs with onions Please take my advice then you will thank me later

More cold food from just eat,no refund no excuse.

First oysters ever! So fresh and lovely. The servers and attendants are really nice. No frills of preparation. You eat it fresh! love it!

Lovely thank you and for my extra bottle of drink 🤗👍

absolutely delicious Chinese, very hot and fresh, delivery driver nice and on time. will definitely order from here again

I’ve been coming to the Haward’s oysters stall in Borough market for over 10 years to get my quarterly oyster fix. Love the oysters, the friendly banter and general vibe of the place! Always looking forward to my next Mersey half a dozen mediums. It’s a cleansing experience. You should be very proud of what you do. Thank you!

He was stuck in traffic. Thanks for the call and info update.

I didn't get my 25% discount when I placed the order. The website said I didn't need a voucher code and just click to order food, which I did but there was no discount

Never gave me the savaloy but took the money for it

Oysters thank you for your hard work as always, the food arrived piping hot and was super tasty as usual. Thank you for the freebies also much appreciated. Driver very polite and cheerful.

Wow! Some of the best oysters I’ve ever had in my life. They had sold out of the large oysters, so I went for some medium. They were huge, absolutely delicious!

Good food. Tasty duck. Good selection.

food arrived quickly and hot. thankyou as always

Always delicious, best Chinese in south London!

Brilliant service thank u and great food

Chicken and mushroom soup is only one pint drain water with 3 pieces of noodle and 1 piece of chicken That is disgusting Please avoid this food

As always Oysters delivers great food, generous portions and always piping hot. Driver was courteous and food delivered early. Also thank you Oysters for the freebies much appreciated.

Thai Red curry was not Thai. Spare ribs were dry. Chinese food ordered may have been better with earlier delivery but late delivery meant the starters and sides were stale.

All seemed great on Sat when a friend and I had the oysters. From Sun night my friend had severe food poisoning. It kicked in on Mon morning for me and I vomitted whilst travelling on the train for work. It's been diarrhoea and vomiting since then, body aches, low energy and feeling very cold. Sounds like norovirus. We've both had oysters before but this is the first time we've had food poisoning from them and many other people have had the same experience judging from other reviews. Lovely staff and service on the day but they need to do something about the food hygiene here since this is a common occurance - surely they have seen these reviews but seem to continue to operate as normal.

Delivered on time and piping hot,i dont agree with just eat taking a service charge.Which should be optional.

Oyster has always been my go to for many years. Always reasonably priced and good quality food.

Perfect again.. I would recommend without hesitation.

For my noodle soup which was £7 they decided to just buy a ramen a paquete use the noodles from it and throw some pork and duck and call it a day.

threw up 3 times after my food and got the shakes

The oysters were really tasty… until both my girlfriend and I got food poisoning. We put it down to the oysters because it was the only thing that we ate that could of made us ill and there is a history of this place making people ill.

As previously, food very tasty and arrived piping hot. Though they were not able to provide the free spring rolls, this was substituted with chicken wings and crackers, so was happy. Driver was very courteous. Only downside was that I thought the mixed vegetable dish was small for the price, so won't order that again.

Went here with four friends for oysters, 24 hours later we were all severely sick. I am still having stomach cramps 5 days later.

Best oysters I have tasted!. I travel up on the train from Reigate area primarily to have a dozen medium rocks (with a glass of Prosecco or similar!) at Richard Haward’s oysters Borough market. Also really friendly ‘shuckers’! You won’t do better! Ian

when the driver , arrived with one bag , I told him that is not all my shopping, this is the second time it happened to me , I not shop there again..

I Visited Richard Haward’s Oysters on January 31st for lunch , we were 4 people 3 we were sick just one friend she didn't eat the oyster, she was ok, she didn't feeling nothing. Just only us we consume, we suffer from severe vomiting and diarrhoea by the evening of Febbrary 1st. Myself and three others fell seriously ill after consuming oysters here. Our friends who did not eat the oysters did not experience any sickness, which strongly points to the oysters as the cause, along with the other reviews here. About myself I started to feel tired, nausea, bloated stomach around 8:30, than I start to vomiting from 9:30 untill 4:00, I vomit maybe 24 times, I was exhausted, and I couldn't stand, my face was pale, and I have fever too, shake, and sweatting. Around 12,30 pm I decide to call the ambulance, and after that I spend 7 hours in the hospital, I have to cancell all my job appointment. So far I'm still feeling sick and weak. It's very worring so many people in google left a negative review here and were very hill. Don't eat this Oyster here, please!!!! This place needs to be shut down, we just eat 3 oyster each and was enough to feeling sick. I never felt so bad in my life and I'm still traumatized.

Food was amazing. Enjoyed it very much, worth every penny. Arrived hot and driver very courteous.

My food never come it say have delivered but nothing no food

order never actually arrived. didn't get through to the restaurant until the order was 2 hours late.

Food arrived hot and freshly cooked. Was delicious

Only let down was duck spring rolls. Crisp outer layer but inside was very soggy, undercooked.

Ordered Thai red curry and tufu veg, got Chinese stir fry, one with tufu, nothing like Thai food, and tasteless, had to add my own seasoning in order to eat. Also received free prawn crackers. Which was nice and I shared with my dog

I’ve often visited Borough Market and wanted to have oysters here. We visited on Sunday 21st for husbands birthday, had 6 rocks and 6 natives, all good at the time, tasted great. However Monday we both started with projectile vomiting at exactly the same time, cue 2 days off work and still feeling nauseous and under the weather. Also running a bit of a temperature. Sadly looking at the reviews it seems like a lot of people who ate there last weekend got sick. I will report to environmental health

Sweet and sour prawn balls were undercooked.

Visited 3 days ago with my daughter. We both have horrific food poisoning. A friend also ate there the same day and has food poisoning. We have all missed work.

Avoid - Food poisoning, visited with a group of friends last weekend and it is no coincidence that 3 of us all ended up with severe food poisoning. Reading the past reviews it would seem that this is not uncommon and in fact has become more prevalent in the past month or so. Would suggest they have a major issue with food prep / safety. This cannot continue to happen without them taking some action to rectify the issues they have.

As Always - Hot, Tasty, Plentiful, and Delivered With A Smile.

We ordered a few oysters with friends this weekend (January 20), at first everything was fine, but after a few hours uncontrollable nausea and vomiting, high temperature, one of us also had diarrhea. Before we came to this place, we didn't think something like this would happen because it was full of people at the counter, We read the reviews on Google, many of them mentioned "vomiting" and "nausea" after eating, but we didn't believe that it could happen to us too, because the oysters from other places or countries did not cause us any such problems.

Chicken ball’s well undercooked. Chow main was very slimy? Money well wasted.

The food was hot and tasty apart from aromatic crispy duck which was all fatty.

They gave me a really nice food and extras. I am not well and their food is very comforting.

Hot, Tasty, Plentiful, and delivered early and with a smile.

Poor service. App told me it was delivered when it hadn't. Called the restaurant who wasn't helpful. Eventually arrived o mins later. Will not be ordering from them again.

Good local restaurant with local prices

Beef wasn't chewy, the prawn rolls was not overcooked or burnt, the food was tasty and enjoyable. It was packaged well so no spillages or food misplaced from the packaging. Was delivered piping hot. Nice gentlemen who transported the food. Food delivered quicker than expected, too. Highly reccomend

Amazing beef and egg fried rice

very late! quite greasy, prawn dough balls were not fully quicked

My favourite Chinese food ever

Always great food and polite driver

Great quality food and service as always

Please do not allocate this driver to my address, he just left the order on the door step!

The food was below average. The Thai chilli roast pork was disgusting. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Large order Christmas Eve with family everything was lovely as usual and on time Only thing wrong was the crispy shredded beef wasn’t cooked properly so my son didn’t eat it unfortunately

Food was great, not too oily. The Beef was really chewy though however everything well was really tasty.

Food was genuinely tasteless and disappointing

Soggy pale batter on chicken. Greasy food. Won’t be ordering again.
