This 50-seater seafood restaurant in Covent Garden is doubling its size for autumn

Seafood specialist, The Oystermen is to double the size of its Seafood Bar & Kitchen in Covent Garden this autumn, combining both 31 and 32 Henrietta Street.

The extended space will host a brand-new all-day oyster and raw bar especially for walk-in visitors, and guests will be able to choose from various rock and native oysters, carefully sourced by co-founders Rob Hampton and Matt Lovell from UK oyster fisheries.

Co-founder, Matt Lovell, commented: “We have had an amazing first year in Covent Garden, and are incredibly excited to be expanding our Seafood Bar & Kitchen here in the heart of the West End.

“We can’t wait to offer a bigger selection of the best British seafood and fish and to be able to welcome even more diners to our ‘bigger boat’ this autumn.”

The 50-seater restaurant will also feature an open kitchen, where Weymouth-born head chef Alex Povall and his team will cook up a wide menu of the finest fresh fish, seafood and hot oysters for lunch and dinner.

Since launching in July 2017, The Oystermen’s first permanent location has become renowned for providing an affordable, atmospheric dining experience.

Co-founder, Rob Hampton, added: “After such a wonderful 12 months, it’s awesome to have been given the opportunity to expand.

“The whole team have worked incredibly hard to get us here, and we are really excited to take The Oystermen onwards and upwards.”
