ESSEX OYSTER CO.

Shellfish and Seafood Restaurant - Ethically & Sustainably Sourced

Shellfish and Seafood Restaurant

Welcome to Essex Oyster Co!

Essex Oyster Co. @ No 10 Surf and Turf Restaurant is a family owned and run business located in Bowers Gifford in Essex

We, as owners, have a real passion, and a great wealth of experience, in sourcing the finest and freshest sustainable Shellfish, Oysters and Fish sourced from both the UK and Ireland. Our great depth of experience comes from both owning and running Shellfish stalls in both Hackney, in East London, and Islington, in North London, during the eighties. Way back then we delivered shellfish to all of the most well known East End pubs, early on a Sunday morning, back when you were guaranteed a good old knees up on a Sunday afternoon with a live singer, fresh shellfish & baked potatoes decorating the bar!

We opened our seafood shop at our current location in Bowers Gifford, Essex in 2020, and then due to demand opened our new seafood restaurant in 2023 with all of our fresh seafood available either to eat in or take away. Our menus naturally change with the seasons and are prepared by our passionate and talented chefs, who have a wealth of culinary experience obtained over many years working as chefs in some of the finest fish restaurants in London and Essex, such as Scott’s of Mayfair in London, J Sheekey’s of London, Smiths of Ongar, and Alecs Restaurant in Essex. We source and use only the finest ingredients. Our meat, vegetables and dairy produce are all sourced from British farmers.

We supply freshly cooked or live Lobsters available from our very own lobster tanks. Stored in temperature-controlled natural seawater which is continually sterilised & filtered and regularly refilled with fresh seawater, which we have delivered directly to our seafood and shellfish restaurant in Essex, on a weekly basis from Cornwall.
