Cockle & Clam

Exquisite. Not just a fish restaurant. Expect complex, clever flavours - fine dining without the pretense or the pricetag! Fresh, fresh ingredients, expert level culinary talent and a great atmosphere as well. Cannot recommend highly enough. Has only been open for 2 weeks and already getting full of an weekday evening. So good. Addendum... went back 5 months later, still absolutely flawless.

We booked a table of two, as soon as we walked in we were made very welcome from the guy that greeted us (James), all the waiting staff and even the kitchen staff were very welcoming. The food was fantastic! The muscles are to die for! Defo go for the bigger dish! bread is a must, to soak up the gorgeous broth! Even a journey to the loo was an experience, everytime I walked past the dish washing area the staff were singing to music! Everyone seemed so happy to be there. It made the whole experience even better than expected! In a nutshell or clamshell the food was fantastic and so was the service! We will definitely go again!

We had a lovely evening, the food was very tasty and the atmosphere was good. The only negative is that we think it's slightly over priced. In particular the scallop (one scallop) cost £7, which is more expensive than some top restaurant I've been to. The concept is great and I liked the idea that we could share lots of smaller dishes but I didn't think it was great value for money. If that could be tweaked, we would be back.
