The Oyster Shed (City of London)

• I thoroughly enjoyed this drink and was impressed to see such a range of quality wines from such good wine regions
• Consisting of gastropub meals with an upmarket twist
• Their burger is piled high and not the typical dried out
• The Oyster shed is located right by the river and you get the perfect view of the Shard
• On a sunny day this is the place to be
• Drinks are a bit pricey but you are still enjoying the buzzing vibe and a great view
• We all ordered a couple of rounds and got some chips to eat on the side with our drinks
• This restaurant had a very high rating and my friend and me were looking forward to eating here
• This is a nice place but if you are in London on holiday
• Maybe you can give a try and see if it is to your liking
• The kitchen is obviously still working out some kinks delivery was glacial
• The presentation was just garbled way too much "
• Lively crowd that was mostly formed by tourists the night we were there
• Probably The Oyster Shed (City of London) can offer better nights but the night we were there was not one of them
• The bar and restaurant are on the north bank of the Thames
• The Oyster Shed is big (not as big as The Folly) and has a similar vibe
• The first thing that we noticed as we sat down at our table on The Upper Deck balcony was the noise&hellip
• T feel very relaxed up there as the floor moved slightly every time someone walked past and she was irrationally concerned that the whole thing would come crashing down
• From where we were sitting the music sounded a tad muffled
• We loved the Wee Willie Winkie candlestick holder and bottle of water was brought to us without it being asked for &ndash
• In a cute little dish with an onion and vinegar dressing &ndash
• Shallow fried fish cakes with a fluffy potato and chunky cod centre
• The standout dish of the whole meal for me was the Pulled pork shoulder with spiced apple sauce £
• It was served in a cool little Kilner jar with a couple of charred slices of crusty bread
• The actual pork was a perfect mix of moist tender meat with strands of the more well done &lsquo
• On top of this was a delicious
• Spreading these on the bread was a novel way to eat it
• The presentation was simple too
• ) serves the best fish and chips in the world
• It was massive and was held together by a steak knife thrust through its middle
• A puff pastry lid on a deep dish filled chock a block with chunky steak and
• The thick gravy was perfect to dip my side order of Skinny Fries £
• Saff went for the Wednesday daily special of Toad in the hole with onion gravy
• When it first turned up Saff looked a little disappointed with the size of the serving
• The Treacle Tart with clotted cream here and the Peanut butter shortbread at The Hawksmoor Spitalfields Bar
• So my second pick was the Apple pie and custard
• It was more of a strudel than a pie but it tasted great with lots of cinnamon and a sweet yet crunchy apple filling
• The only let down was the custard
• I left most of it but luckily the pie was moist enough by itself
• S Sticky toffee pudding with treacle sauce
• Was a thick wedge of dense cake which was a lot more moist than it looked
• Saff did add that it could have done with some custard (but maybe not the like that was served with my pie)
• All in all The Oyster Shed is an excellent addition to the already numerous Thames side bars
• In fact the views of the Shard and Tower Bridge were incredible as we walked back to catch our train home
• If you are looking for a great place to eat and drink by the river this is one of your best options
• The steak and chicken schnitzel are amazing and the atmosphere of the venue is really great
• Very good spacing with seating inside
• Large and comfortable inside if the sun is not shining and average London drinks prices
• The Oyster Shed is a beautiful
• Even though the clientele of suited and booted office workers is just the same
• We all know how great it is to look at London's skyline from London Bridge and the South Bank
• The Oyster Shed won't let you forget that the city is just as charming seen from the other side
• The taste test is quite another story
• I picked the tagliatelle arrabbiata with parmesan and truffle dressing as my starter
• I'd have had trouble guessing what it had been made with in the first place
• I had higher hopes for my main red lentil dhal with coriander sour cream and a side of vegetables
• While the actual came with aubergines
• I'd have ordered something else (the roast guinea fowl with kale and mash in the menu sounded pretty nice even though I doubt I'd have managed to fit it all into my already full stomach
• Most definitely made with yellow rather than red lentils
• The coriander sour cream was far too fatty
• My favourite meals are those that combine quantity
• I'm sorry to say that my experience with the Feast Menu at The Oyster Shed only ticked one out of three boxes
• After a long walk from Oxford Circus I was in need of something comforting and filling
• Why an earth are you busy ever night of the week
• Managed to get through the crowds to the restaurant where we were escorted upstairs to a quaint seating area
• Yes there was plenty on there to cure the hunger I was tying to ignore
• The garlic mayo was perfection
• I wished my portion was double it size
• Came to the conclusion that it was the best burger he had ever eaten
• Definitely worth a summet visit if you are city bound
