    Went on a 'guest night' with guest chef from Shapes bringing pasta dishes to complement the menu. My 1st visit, impressed by the decor and service was great. Went with friends and we ordered every pasta and main to share, flavours were amazing! Even the 'Orange wine' which was a new one for us! Made for a special night, not a cheap meal out, but it never felt or tasted like one. Looking forward to an excuse to go again 😁

    Our 1st visit to Riley's Fish Shop and not disappointed. All the dishes were excellent ... from the starters of anchovies & langoustine to the mains of brill chop, monkfish tail & halibut. The service was professional but friendly & not overpowering. Yes, it's expensive but well worth the experience. You could not fault the food. Well done to all the staff.

    Noon booking, sat at kitchen bar where we could interact with enthusiastic chefs who were receiving the freshest seafood right off the dock! These guys know what they’re doing with these great local ingredients and they collaborate on the changing menu. Two types of expertly-shucked oysters, über fresh. Hand chopped halibut tartare was beautifully balanced with the smoky cream, salty eggs and lightly pickled radish - yum! Then four (only £13!) off-the-boat-wriggling langoustines, halved and grilled with garlic butter & samphire- perfect! Highlight was the seared monkfish tail on wild garlic citrusy pistou & pinto beans. A plate o roast (locally grown!) Jerusalem artichokes. Absolutely superb. All washed down with tasty local draught ales and a lovely Stellenbosch Sauvignon. These guys know their food, a gluten allergy was easy, but the experience was marred somewhat by their location. Anyone with mobility issues have to navigate steep stairs to the basement - god help you if you’re on the second floor! There are two front doors which were constantly left open by thoughtless guests and vendors, effectively blast-chilling the downstairs floor. Please don’t get me wrong - the food was totally worth it! Only the freshest local ingredients treated with total respect, in simple well-executed dishes I’d be proud to serve to a discerning clientele. I see complaints in here about pricing - ha! Portions are good and prices are 2/3 what they would be in the South. Keep it up, we’re already looking forward to our next family visit when the menu changes again! We’re still talking about this meal five hours later driving back South….

    Sublime day on the shellfish/pasta workshop held here, all your senses get a right treat and your tummy! Wonderful experience all under a super skilled and caring team led by Carlson and Henry, whose fishability is mesmerising. No big chain formula here, just the rarest of things, enjoyment whilst learning (and eating) with a personal touch. Thank you!
