Wright Brothers Oyster & Porter House in Southwark

The chef and the waiter are very friendly and kind, the food is delicious, and the drinks are delicious. Thank you very much for giving me a wonderful experience. Will visit again. I love it.

The food is exceptional, but the service was horrendous. Sat for ages before ordering, they didn’t have my drink and no suggestion for an alt was made, got my food before water or a drink. Really worth coming for the food but service didn’t meet the standard of the delicious oysters, fish, and more!

Great buzz, but terrible fish & chips. Sea bream was tasty but overcooked and with a very old side salad. No check back and service slapped on. Oysters and stout were delicious but we won't be back.

Make sure to make a reservation, it gets crowded. It was pretty nice. Although it was a bit expensive for what's inside the market, the food was delicious.

Great service, friendly staff, the bar seating was fun. The happy hour oysters were fantastic and the halibut was also great. The mussels were a little bland and gritty but not bad, we still ate most of them.

Visiting London from Spain and walking through the beautiful Borough Market we found out this restaurant where we had the best time. Great food and gorgeous cocktails! Thanks to Juan for the service and the quality of the drinks. Must visit!

Wright Brothers at Borough Market transcends the typical dining experience; it is a vibrant celebration of extraordinary seafood, a lively atmosphere, and heartfelt hospitality. This establishment excels at fusing fresh, sustainably sourced seafood with meticulously crafted beverages. But what truly elevated our experience was Juan, the bar manager, whose passion and professionalism set the tone for an unforgettable experience.Juan made us feel comfortable. His knowledge of spirits, wine pairings, and mixology is second to none, and he somehow manages to balance efficiency with charisma in a way that makes every guest feel special. We entrusted Juan with our meal choices, and each of his recommendations delighted our taste buds. Observing him behind the bar is akin to witnessing a masterful performance—elegant, assured, and brimming with passion.

Great venue for drinks in the heart of London! Huge thank you to Juan for his hospitality and professionalism. See you very soon!

delicious fish and chips! fish soup sooo good. chef cared to ask what we thought. thank you, Heather, for the friendly service!

Chill and lively place. Great value oysters at happy hour and super fast and friendly service, but be ready to pay more for regular wine, which makes sense. Best to book, walk-ins might wait like half an hour for a table (barrel) outside (still fun). Overall very pleasant experience.

My favourite when visiting the Borough Market.

There are so many great dining options in Borough Market. We stopped in Wright Brothers to get away from the crowds not imaging how good the food would be. So good, in fact, that we came back two more times during our London trip. Lovely service, nice wine list and everything we ordered was delicious .

Always a good to of mine when I fancy some fish and I'm in Borough Market. Staff are always polite and attentive, even one of the chefs took the time to talk with me. All round great service. If your in the mood for fish then this place never fails. Always enjoy trying their different oysters. The main of cod, chickpeas and chorizo was mouthwatering and highly recommend. Always a busy and vibrant atmosphere. Must try!

Four of us came by without a reservation and had a seat within 3 minutes. The oysters were really fresh, plus a decent champagne, what more could you want ✌️😊 The ambience was nice, it was reasonably quiet and you could watch the hustle and bustle from outside in peace. Although there was a lot going on, they still tried to look after us as best as possible. Gladly again! ✌️😊

Awful service. Arrogant no words waiter. Took my card away did a contactless pay himself and came to our table and threw it in the dish.

Extremely cheap and delicious Oysters, with incredibly kind service that did an exception for us.

DO NOT COME HERE FOR HAPPY HOUR. £1 oysters on the menu from 3-6 pm Mon to Wed and they do not actually abide by this. We asked which oysters were £1 and we were pointed to the market selection and after eating we were left with a large bill and we had to pay the whole thing. Oysters were not even good as well, avoid this place like the plague.

Was not keen on the turbot - quite an oily dish and the hispi was a bit wet. Bavette was also not as tasty as it could have been but oysters were outstanding. The service was fabulous and the vibe is amazing.

This was my first time here and I came with my family. The service was flawless. The lady who served us was friendly, knowledgeable and so attentive. All of the food was excellent including the oysters, which is something I normally steer well clear of. The atmosphere was really friendly. The lovely lady who served us brought my son some chocolates with a candle for his birthday despite us not having asked for anything like this. It was just a lovely touch and perfect end to a perfect lunch. I am definitely going back soon. One of the best meals I have had for a very long time.

Went here to get £1 oysters. They were really good and me and my friends enjoyed them. It was really busy so make sure you get a reservation or plan ahead. We were able to catch a seat in the front. Service was friendly and attentive.

Oysters for 1£, not the best ones but worth it for the price. Nice staff, if you seat outside you need to pay every time you order something. Very nice atmosphere

A friend and I went to Wright Brothers to have their much lauded Guinness and Oysters. It was worth it and I can't recommend it enough. I tried to book online but struggled due to availability because of its popularity so rang up and spoke to Luana who was incredibly helpful and helped me to secure a table at the bar. I would suggest booking well in advance. On the day, Veronica was our waitress.  She was outstanding, and through her recommendations we opted for a plate of 12 with 3 different varieties and each were delicious. When served, their flavour profiles and how to eat them was explained to us. We also had 2 of some French oysters which were divine. Variety availability varies on a daily basis but the options are extensive and all that we had were wonderful. My only gripes for our meal were with the drinks; the Guinness was excellent but whilst the glasses were clean, they weren't clean enough for Guinness. Evinced by the bubbles in the glass, but it didn't detract from the drink. The other being the 2 martinis we ordered; one was a slightly caramel flavoured with tequila one which was excellent. The original espresso martini though was disappointing and a little bit watery, though I don't think this is the norm as the former martini was excellent. But minor issues for an otherwise excellent time at Wright Brothers Borough Market. I can't recommend it enough and I will be returning. Guinness and oysters here are delectable.

Fuimos ignorados durante unos 25 minutos... varios empleados que servían pasaban y cuidaban de otras mesas. Finalmente, nuestra orden fue tomada y la comida cayó muy por debajo del estándar que esperaba. Hubo una falta de interés tan abyecto en tener que esperar 25 minutos para hacer un pedido de bebidas y comida también que no me molestaré en volver.

Food was incredible, staff were lovely and the service was great. Will definitely be back.

A surprise visit for my Birthday. Atmosphere and service absolutely spot on. The food was superb. Oysters White bait Hake Paella Loved it.

We only popped in for some oysters 5pm on Wednesday, they were on offer at £1 each, outstanding value! Staff were friendly, atmosphere was good.

An overall terrible experience for both me and my guest. Walking in we were greeted coldly and the staff ignored us for the first 20 minutes, which they later said was because they were "busy" despite many of them just standing around, looking anywhere but at customers who may have wanted their attention. We ordered their oysters at 2:58 and their promotion for £1 was from 3-6pm, which the waiter made a cold comment that it was not yet 3pm. I just politely asked if he could log in our order at 3pm. After some time the oysters arrived, which tasted great but shortly after leaving the restaurant I felt a sharp pain in my stomach which I suspected as likely food poisoning. I spent the next few hours throwing up and in bed, trying to recover. NOT ADVISABLE. Tourist trap! Their Kensington restaurant is much nicer in all respects. Will not be coming back.

Great atmosphere and good food.

An interesting Monday evening meal. Food was good. We shared a variety of 6 oysters and then had sea trout and whole sea bream for mains. Beautifully cooked. The only issue was the drinks. As a non drinker, I asked if they did any alcohol free drinks. I was met with a puzzled look. I switched to asking for a spicy tomato juice but was told they only offered a Bloody Mary. Must have been pre-mixed as they couldn’t offer an alcohol free version. My next attempt was sparkling water - they had run out. So I was left with good old tap water…..

Delicious food makes you feel good. I recommend eating fresh seafood at the bar.

was here with my BOYFRIEND. we had a reservation at 20:30 and got there at 20:40. anyways we sat and it was all good. the oysters were pretty good, however the other platter had snails and some clams that were not fresh. the crab and shrimp should have also been served hot, not freezing cold. we ordered some grilled shrimp which were way better. for the price… around 180.. you could have gotten something way better anywhere else.

The seafood platter is expensive and attractive! d. Eat oysters cleanly!

It’s a great place, VERY tight but with a lot of character and the food is great and decently priced, we will be coming back to sit at the bar that is for sure. They also have offers of special priced oysters in the week I believe, so definitely worth a visit!

I had an absolutely amazing time! The cook was fabulous and took the time to talk with me - staff was very friendly and the atmosphere at the restaurant was cozy and “hyggelig”. I will most definitely come again and will recommend this place to anyone and everyone who’d like a good and refined dinning experience! Bonus info: they do 1£ per oyster every weekday from 15:00-18:00 🦪🦪🦪

Fabuloso restaurante en el corazón del mercado de Borough! Paraíso de amantes de los peces. Ocasión especial y tuvimos champán y ostras con una pinta de camarones al lado. ¡Yum! Gran selección de otros peces, incluyendo moules y captura del día. ¡Recomiendo la sopa de pescado también! Buen café y un maravilloso servicio amable. ¡La mejor opción de pescado con familiares y amigos! Imprescindible reservar, siempre ocupado, pero bien vale la pena. Muy buen champán muy bien refrigerado.

Wonderful bistro / fish restaurant. The buzz is always electric. Tasty food and great wine. The oysters and Guinness are first class!

It is always such a treat to visit. My friend and I have a bit of a thing where we have the market oysters and a drink whenever we venture to that London. We've never been let down. The oysters are at least lovely, usually better. The service is good, the atmosphere busy

Every time I come to London this is a must stop. I have always been pleased with the food and service. This time the food was good as expected but the service below standard. Initial reception was cold and frosty and the subsequent service team were not at all friendly,unless you spoke Spanish or a regular. Certainly wasn’t worth the 12-15% tip they added to my bill. Love the borough market area but sadly we’re going to look for another regular stop.

Enjoyed the Happy Hour £1 Oysters (Mon-Wed 3-6pm). They were delicious. Also tried the croquettes 😋

Beautiful food , amazing atmosphere and fantastic service

Paramos para almorzar en este lugar en abril cuando mientras estábamos disfrutando de un fin de semana en Londres. ¡Qué joya escondida! El lugar abre al mediodía y dentro de 5 - 10 minutos de la apertura estaba lleno de mermelada! La comida era genial - pescado fresco y mariscos cocinados a la perfección. ¡No podemos esperar a probar la cena en este lugar!

Me encantó todo sobre este restaurante: Excelente y muy fresca comida, personal amable, y un ambiente agradable. Las ostras fueron de las mejores que he comido. Recomiendo encarecidamente las ostras con curry. Suena un poco extraño, pero es delicioso.

My favorite seafood place in London. Yesterday was my 3rd time in the restaurant . Best oysters in the area. We where here again it’s always a great stop during our holidays in London

Excellent service from the team, warm welcome on entering to recommendations on drink/food pairings which was extremely helpful as we had different food preferences and appetites. The food was exceptional, flavour, quality and presentation were very good and excellent value. The £1 oyster deal went down particularly well and we can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely stunning. Seafood heaven and staff were extremely friendly

Had the most amazing experience today From the atmosphere/ food to the service , big thanks to Jessica for the amazing service she really looked after us , will definitely be coming back

Friendly, professional, great time!

One of Londons best Adresses for Seafood! The Oysters are Amazing! Gonna be a fix stop from now on when in London!

What a lovely place in the heart of Borough Market. Great food, lovely atmosphere, very friendly service. I would go there again and again and again.

Overhyped but granted it was the happy hour oysters. Ive definitely had better 1£ oyster elsewhere

Dear, I am writing to formally express my disappointment with the treatment I received at your establishment on 04/01 at 15:30. When I visited, I was informed by a staff member that there was no Coke available. However, the same staff member later stopped me at the door and refused to let me enter the premises. Their behavior was not only rude but also felt discriminatory, which left me feeling humiliated and unwelcome. I strongly believe that no one should face such treatment, and I urge you to investigate this incident. Discrimination and unprofessional behavior can harm your establishment’s reputation and are deeply concerning for customers.

El mejor restaurante de pescado de Londres. Gran servicio, buena comida y gran ambiente. La sopa y las ostras eran de primera. Sin duda volveremos pronto

Nestled in the heart of Borough market, standing out amongst the trendy food stalls and high end restaurants is no easy feat. Wright brothers not only stands out, but excels. With outstanding food, excellent service and their ‘£1 a pop’ oyster deal on top, you have a recipe for a truly memorable meal. Arriving just after 5pm on a Monday evening, we were lucky to grab a table for two in an already packed restaurant, despite not having a booking. With less than an hour left on the oyster deal, the mission was simple - how many could we get through before time ran out? As soon as we opened the menu it became clear that sticking to just oysters would be impossible. A wide selection of seafood called out to us, and we just couldn’t resist. We ordered a 1/2 pint of Atlantic prawns alongside a trio of salt cod and crab croquettes (adding an extra one for good measure) alongside our first round of 8 oysters. The croquettes were sensational. Crisp on the outside and packed with a rich, flavourful filling, it’s one of those dishes that will have you thinking about them for days after. The Atlantic prawns served in their shell were a pleasant surprise. Piled high into the half pint, it really felt like you got your money’s worth. With a bowl for the shells and a lemon water bath to rinse your fingers, the dish was messy but entirely worth it. The real star of the show were the oysters. I’d been unimpressed by oysters in the past, but if there was ever a chance to change my mind, this was it. The platter arrived, beautifully presented on crushed ice with accompaniments of shallots in vinegar, Tabasco and lemon wedges. I was blown away. The taste was like nothing I’d tried before: juicy, briny and bursting with flavour, I was instantly hooked. We polished off the first 8 in no time and before long had another 6 on the table, bringing our final total to 14, and at just £1 each they were absurdly good value. The service was just as impressive as the food. Our waitress was an absolute delight. She was warm, funny and attentive, making sure to check in regularly. Service was very quick yet professional - If you ever want a reminder of what great customer service is, this is exactly it. Between the food, drinks and service charge the bill came to about £60, value that is incredibly hard to come by in central London these days. Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast or a shellfish novice, there’s something here for everyone. I cannot wait to return and explore what else the menu has to offer, but one thing’s for sure: I’ll be back, Tabasco in hand, with a craving for oysters, eager to dive in to some of the freshest seafood London has to offer.

Love love love!!! This restaurant is a gem, offering incredibly fresh oysters that are a treat for any seafood lover. The trout I had was perfectly cooked and seasoned, showcasing their expertise in flavor balance. I got a bar seat (luckily) since I didn't have reservation and they were pretty packed. So you'd better book a table in advance.

I come from a coastal Mediterranean town and consider myself quite experienced when it comes to seafood. Naturally, we ordered the timeless oysters and prawns as mains, accompanied by a side of chips and a delicious cod and mayonnaise sauce with boiled egg. What can I say? The oysters were as delightful as ever. It felt like tasting the sea itself! They brought me back to the familiar places of home. Incredibly affordable at just £1 each. The prawns were exceptionally flavourful and wonderfully meaty. I had to ask about their origin because, compared to many varieties I’ve tried from different countries, their quality-to-price ratio is outstanding. The staff made us feel like neighbours, treating us with kindness and warmth. This remains my favourite seafood restaurant. Thank you to everyone, especially Luana!

Good selection of seafood. Oysters were a bit small but fresh. I would again. Good choice of fish A bit expensive

It’s always fun die have lunch here. Fresh fish and mussels. Friendly staff and happy clients. It’s a very buzzing restaurant.

We came by with no reservation on Friday. The staff accommodated us and made us feel very welcome. Food delightful as always, thank you

Service isn't friendly enough (Spanish speaking women working there) to warrant the 12.5% service charge. It's a high stress job and needs someone with a better mood to deliver friendly service under the obvious pressure. Nevertheless a nice enough experience for the 1£ oyster happy hour.

Super food and the best service, so friendly. Recommend to make a reservation before.

Comida increíble y gran servicio. Mi ir a casa cuando esté en Londres. Vive sentado junto a la cocina y escucha al Chef interactuar con los clientes. Siempre tengo ostras y la almeja lingüini. Probablemente no es por lo que son más conocidos, pero me encantan.

I’m taking it as a good sign that I only remembered to take one picture, but the food was delicious; I got the sea bass, croquettes and cod cheeks. Everything was great, and especially loved the buttery brown crab croquettes. Make sure to check out their specials menu, as 3 out of 4 dishes ordered were off there! Would also suggest getting a Bloody Mary, as it comes with an oyster ;-) Finished it all off with a scoop of mango and raspberry sorbet - yum!

Food is absolutely delicious with a good selection on the menu and a wide choice of dish of the day. Downside is it’s cramped with small tables. Would definitely go back.

The staff were excellent and a credit to the restaurant. The fish soup was the best I’ve ever had and the Ray Wing was meaty & tasty. Loved the restaurant.Can’t wait to return 😀

Fresh seafood, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Do book a table beforehand, it gets busy. Definitely worth a visit!

I purely visited for the oysters 🦪

Sit at the bar, enjoy watching the staff at work, especially oyster shucker Imad. A hideaway treat just off Borough Market

Excellent oysters, would benefit from more diversity in the menu.. more small plates would be good

We stopped off here whilst at Borough Market for some sparkling wine. This was the worst experience of my adult life from a service perspective. My friend sat down near the door and I approached the bar. A very friendly staff member was talking me through their selection of British Sparkling wine. I ordered and then another lady came over and said very rudely shouting “What are you doing here? You cant sit here unless you eat” (she didn’t ask if we wanted a menu), “if your having drinks only please sit on the street outside”. We proceeded to order lunch. I paid the bill (£176) and my friend came to join us, I asked if we could move to a larger table (so he could order lunch) and the same lady said “if he’s only drinking please go outside, go outside now, on the street” (again she didnt even ask if he wanted to order etc). We left immediately. 2 of the 3 staff were very nice, just the shrieking lady was abnormally rude - for no apparent reason. I have never been spoken to or dealt with in this way anywhere, ever.

Real food, attentive service, great ambience

We took advantage of their £1 per oyster deal that runs through the week until 6 pm. It was already very busy when we got there so we were sat just opposite the kitchen. being newcomers to oyster eating. the waitress was kind enough to explain to us how we need to go about eating this delicacy. We also had mussels for dinner and the obligatory champagne with the oysters. We had a great time here and the oysters were good ..well at least for a first timer I didn’t feel like it was the worst thing. a good vibrant place in the heart of borough market.

Had a great time on Wednesday evening enjoying the £1 oysters deal. Shout out to Maria who served us and was great at recommending their Bloody Mary! As a minor setback, the windows above the kitchen area were open which made It quite cold where we were sitting, but everything else was great!

amazing fish and pet friendly too! kind staff aswell!

We had no reservation so we had to be served outdoors. Mussels and trout were really good, not excited with the fish soup. I would visit again but eating in.

Great fish and seafood - and friendly enough service. Bar seating is more than a little cosy though. Prices felt a touch high, especially drinks: £14 for a glass of wine (plus service). We shared a small starter of croquetas, had a main and portion of chips each, and a glass of wine - the bill was over £130.

Great place for dinner! The dishes are good and the service impeccable!

Great place to come and splurge or just enjoy the £1 oysters in the afternoon. The service was particulary stellar.

Wright Bros is an underrated gem in Borough Market. With an open kitchen and high dark wood tables, the atmosphere is amazing. The fish is absolutely delicious and the service is top notch. Don’t be put off by the fact it hasn’t gone ‘viral’ like it’s neighbouring restaurants, it’s just as worthy of rave reviews.

Fun and delicious place for seafood. Staff is very friendly with great menu recommendations. Make sure to book in advance.

Can be a bit tight, it’s a small space. But the food is really good

Went there, the waitress asked if we have any reservations, and we said no. And she literally walked by us and opened the door and threw us out.

Had sharing platter with brown crab, whelks, 6 oyster,cold prawns shell on,clams, some whelks in shell, mussels in shell. Was good quality one pointer the shell on prawns were way too salty. Had Sardines to start (we shared 4) and cheese board to finish. Bottle of rose and 1/2 of oyster stout. Bill was £171 they add 12.5% service charge. NO VINEGAR AND ONLY BLACK PEPPER what's that all about! How can you have shell fish with no white pepper or vinegar. Shame as it spoilt the platter l!!!

Was looking for oysters and googled got me this place. Oysters are pretty awesome! Mussels are okay but portion is very generous. We ordered a bit too much and wish the server could give us a nudge when we order food! Well, this is a good food joint but a bit pdicey.

Nice atmosphere good food many selection and nice vibe ... love it

Experienced food poisoning almost immediately after eating here. I spoke with the manager who explained I could follow up with him via email and never heard anything back. Poor quality food and poor quality customer service. Wouldn’t recommend. - To add insult to injury, the food poisoning has developed into a stomach virus. Avoid this place.

It's quite delicious. It's a little bit worse than the French seafood cold cuts. I'll give it a five-star rating.

Not my first time at Wright Bros. Food never fails to deliver, quality at a fair price. My feeling is always the same…. if only it was a little larger, larger tables, more space, this could truly be a 5 star experience. If you like fish/seafood, give Wright Bros. a try … reservations HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Came here today to enjoy some Oyster on their weekly deal of 1£ Oysters from 3PM to 6PM. It was absolutely marvellous! Got some Italian Wine and a few sides! The croquettes were magnificent! We were served by Joanna who did such a great job at setting the atmosphere and making sure we felt comfortable! Thank you so much to the entire team! Will definitely be coming back soon!

My partner and I went there for a seafood meal, taking advantage of the offer on oysters. The atmosphere at the entrance is very pleasant, and Luana immediately put us at ease, explaining the menu with the various options. We obviously ordered oysters, accompanied by a half pint of prawns, the fried breaded whitebait, and a side of chips. The quality of the food was really good, and it was also suggestive to eat in front of the open kitchen. The taste of the oysters was divine, and I think they are the cheapest in all of London. We will definitely be back. Thanks to all the staff and in particular to Luana.

Disgustingly rude front of house staff. We were not sure if we wanted to eat or not. We wanted to start with a glass of port. The waitress seethed at us that we could only stand outside , and tables were strictly for diners . She was less than accommodating. There are ways to share with customers that tables are prioritised for diners only at busier times of the day and to do that with a smile. We will never return, and certainly not recommend .

Chilled atmosphere Great food Even better service

We went for their £1 per oyster, got more bits as well. Friendly staff, good food and portion sizes were more than satisfactory. They do specials so make sure to check them out lots of options apart from the a la carte menu. I’d suggest booking before, it gets busy.

One of my favourite restaurants, old school vibes meet modern flavours! Awesomeness!

Fab spot with market fresh fish and seafood. Started with decent cocktails. Beautiful oysters with a Japanese dressing. A lovely ceviche with Blueberries! All starters were generous portions and mains were well cooked and tasty. Definitely recommend.

The seafood in this restaurant is very fresh. The oysters are selected from the British oysters recommended by the restaurant. Other seafood are grilled sardines. In addition, their fish cake is very good. The blue mussels cooked in white wine are a dish I must try in every restaurant in Europe. Dishes, they all do well and the mussels are plump and plump. The waiters explained each ingredient carefully. A restaurant worth recommending.

Authentisches Essen, handwerklich top, absoluter Hammer in Sachen Geschmack. Gerne wieder😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Danke an Chefkoch Antal

Visited the restaurant on a busy Saturday evening. The service was friendly and professional and the food was excellent/reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Lovely seafood and wonderful staff

The fish was so fresh, well cooked, well presented and tasted amazing. The Waitress was so friendly and knew the menu inside out. Highly recommend going to this restaurant.
