Our concept is simple – providing our customers with the best quality fish, cooked in front of you, in simple and classic ways. Since 1999 our focus has never changed, quality and responsible sourcing is still our main concern…we just look a bit more fancy now! Our central location in Borough Market means that London’s best produce is right on our doorstep. We are proud to say that we source most of our produce from Borough Market itself, and our fish is delivered daily from our very own fishmonger, Jarvis, which is renowned for its extensive range of the freshest fish and seafood. We're also winners at the National Fish & Chip awards too!

It was a very enjoyable evening with delicious Valentine menu. There was plenty of food and the four of us all found something we particularly favoured. It was busy which made for a pleasant atmosphere and not too loud.

The food is pretty good and the atmosphere for a Friday night was relaxed and good to make it possible to have a conversation. The service although not bad was a bit slow and at times I thought someone could have checked on us, also was given the wrong bill when it wasn't that busy. Still I think it's a good place to go if you want to eat and hold a conversation without a lot of noise that CW normally has.
