About Oyster Shed
Bright riverside bar with stripped floors and huge windows, for seafood and classic British dishes.
Brand new Young’s Geronimo-branded pub and restaurant opened 2012 on ground floor of Nomura office building. Large bar area with lower seating area with booths alongside tall windows looking out on the river. Modern decor with vague nautical theme, large chandeliers, light pine bar side and flooring, zinc bar top, mixture of chairs, tables and sofas and two large clocks at either end. One TV for sport and loud background ‘music’. Open-to-view kitchen, serving oysters, traditional British food including daily specials and 2/3 course ‘express menus’ for ‘City suits’ in a hurry. Stairs lead up to mezzanine floor overlooking the main bar area with a small bar (no cask ale), a restaurant and separate function room. Note the early 19th century German wall map of Europe. Limited outdoor drinking within roped off patio area.

We are upstairs on a Wednesday evening. Service was good which is a stark contrast to downstairs where it’s usually very slow at the bar. There were 8 of us and the food came out fair promptly. Our server was polite and friendly. I went for the crab roll starter which was excellent. Then I had the king prawn and calamari as a main. While the sea food was cooked fine and had good presentation it lacked an accompanying sauce. So the prawns felt a little too meaty. It wasn’t unpleasant at all but lacked sauce to give it 5 stars. The ribs were apparently very good too so recommend…

We had a lovely dinner. They placed in a great table in the window with very comfortable chairs. A lovely round table. The staff gave us an excellent service and did not rush us. The food excellent. We had the Charcuterie board and bread to start. Then we had the Haddock fish and chips, soft crab burger and the Cider Mussels.

My partner had bbq short rib, which was extremely tender but way too fatty, but the restaurant compensated us properly and more than we expected. I had the burger which was great and tasty. The service was outstanding and very attentive!

Beautiful view, accompanied by tasteful and delicious food!!! The staff here goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, attentively catering to your needs, it’s not just service but a cuddle in the form of hospitality. Really recommended to enjoy a day next to the London Bridge.
