The Oysters will come alongside Bread & Butter, and Hand Cut Chips with traditional Chip Shop Curry Sauce!  

For goodness sake, they are the shucking experts.

TELL MORE MORE

What is it about an Oyster?  They look rather fabulous to start off with, as they nestle decadently in the middle of an iridescent shell.  What started off as a dietary staple for the poor, frequently referred to by Dickens, it is now a luxury item, and a supposed aphrodisiac.

The Grand Duchess is one of the best places to taste this delicious shellfish.  For a start as the name suggests it’s a boat, permanently moored in London’s Paddington Basin so you can watch the ducks and see the water, in simple, but rather glamorous surroundings.  It is owned by the London Shell Co. who own two boats and a fishmongers. They are dedicated to sourcing the best British seafood.

Abshelloutely, shucking hmmmmmmmm

ABOUT LONDON SHELL CO

London Shell Co. own two London seafood restaurants. Both aboard barges. One travels somewhere, and one doesn’t.  The menus on both are delicious and between them these seafood restaurants in London make quite a splash in Paddington Basin. This area is still synonymous with a bear and a train station, but thanks to the canal, the ‘basin’ bit has been transformed and is filled with smart bars, restaurants and boats.

The portholes offer a glimpse into a world, where lunch looks like a treat. The sort of place you expect to find on holiday, it's not everyday. It’s spacious, friendly, the glasses sparkle, and you can smile at the passing boats. It oozes charm.

This is an ideal spot of an early supper / late lunch / high tea / cocktail hour - call it what you will. This is a fabulous spot for a meet-up with friends, or a first date - lots to talk about.

THE ALL IMPORTANT DETAILS
