Good for business meals

Fishworks - Swallow Street is an absolute essential for seafood lovers. The restaurant offers a traditional wet fish counter where you can buy fish to take home and cook yourself, or you can select any fish or crustacean with our fishmonger and have it cooked there and then to your liking.

This chic stylish restaurant is only minutes away from the bustle of Piccadilly hidden away in an exclusive street. The whole restaurant opens its glass window façade doors creating a fantastic atmosphere great for corporate dining and enjoying a pre-theatre meal before hitting the West End.

Blackboards display our daily landings or diners can choose from our classic menu with delights such as piled-high fruits de mer, scrumptious South Coast scallops or simply the best gourmet cod and chips you will ever taste!

Unexpectedly brilliant evening We had the pleasure of being looked after by Kat, who turned out to be not only an excellent host but also a fellow pescetarian with surprisingly deep insights into the human psyche. One minute we were discussing oysters and sea bass, the next we were unpacking our relationship dynamics like it was couples therapy – all included in the price of dinner! Kat is sharp, funny, and genuinely fascinating. The food was delicious, but she was the real catch of the night. Highly recommend—especially if your relationship needs a tune-up over halibut and a glass of wine. 10/10 for service, seafood, and soul-searching

Couple of small errors in the service (discount not applied, no vinaigrette with the oysters) which was otherwise very friendly but great food as always.

My husband and I are regulars at Fishworks, usually popping in on a Sunday, a little tradition of ours. But this week, we happened to be in London a bit longer and couldn’t resist visiting not once, but three times in a row. What a treat! On our final evening, we indulged in the tasting platter — an absolute delight. We were looked after by the wonderful Katja, who, though clearly juggling a busy floor, still found the time to stop by our table with thoughtful food and wine recommendations. Her warmth and professionalism really added to the experience. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we ended up being the very last guests to leave. It turned out to be rather lovely — we had the chance to thank the chef personally and even shook his hand. A perfect ending to a perfect evening. We’ll be back, of course — it’s become one of our favourite places in London.

Having visited this restaurant previously and being happy with the overall experience, we were disappointed on this occasioon with having to wait for nearly an hour for our starters. It seems as though there were insufficient staff (we visited on a Tuesday at 1900) and, despite their best efforts it was a pretty unsatisfactory experience. It didn't help that we weren't kept informed about the reason for the delay. The waiter did offer a coffee on the house to compensate for the situation! Our mains arrived without undue delay, which helped.

Food lovely, but not quite 5 star fishworks usually is. It’s an affordable option after/before an expensive day though I do suggest taking a walk to the Covent Garden one instead. If that’s not an option then just spend the extra money and go to Bentleys or Hawksmoor (yes the skeakhouse does fish and it’s fantastic)

Warm welcome and great service from a very pleasant member of staff. Food was good and we had a very nice Sancerre. Dessert - apple and raspberry crumble - was delicious.
