order here.
Twelve seats face the board. What arrives depends on what came off the boat that morning, and it arrives one piece at a time.

I did not know this was under there. Eight of us at the counter on a Thursday, no phones out for two hours, and the chef talked us through every plate without it ever feeling like a lecture.

Before you come
What people
ring to ask.
How do I book?+
By telephone only, from four in the afternoon. We do not take bookings online and we do not keep a waiting list.
Can you do dietaries?+
Shellfish and allergies yes, with two days' notice. Vegetarian, honestly, no — it is a fish counter.
Is there a dress code?+
No. There is a noise code: it is a small room, so we ask groups to keep it to four.
Do you take walk-ins?+
Two seats are held until seven each night. After that the board is set.
