Came in on the final service of 2024 for my dad’s birthday with my family. From the outset we were very well looked after by the knowledgable and charming Jacob. A model example of how to come across friendly and attentive without being at all overbearing. The food was absolutely sensational and despite my mother having a shellfish allergy, every care was taken to ensure her dining experience was not impeded. Truly exceptional food, a good wine list and very clever cooking going on in the kitchen. Couldn’t recommend higher and I wish Tom and the whole team all the success in the world for this venture.

Absolutely loved our experience at Fishworks, Covent Garden. We adore seafood and therefore wanted to experience what they had to offer. We ordered the seafood tier and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and we struggled to get through it. The service was perfect, with the ambience just right. We certainly will be returning in the future.
