WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
"So when I say that the London Shell Co on Swain’s Lane in Highgate is absolutely, positively the best restaurant in the whole wide world ever, I mean it.". Giles Coran - The Times
For goodness sake, these guys are the shucking experts.
TELL MORE MORE
What is it about an Oyster? They look rather fabulous to start off with, as they nestle decadently in the middle of an iridescent shell. What started off as a dietary staple for the poor, frequently referred to by Dickens, it is now a luxury item, and a supposed aphrodisiac.
Swain's Lane is a fishmonger, restaurant, and wine shop. The fishmonger takes center stage - this is lunch amongst the fish. Simple, fresh plates of delicious food served from an open kitchen. The restaurant is owned by the London Shell Co., and the wines are as good as the food, paired to perfection. Loved by the locals and London food critics, this is destination seafood.
Abshelloutely, shucking hmmmmmmmm
ON THE MENU
On the menu after your walk, an exclusive Indytute menu, and it really is.
Bread & Butter & Smoked Cod's Roe
A Trio of dressed oysters (which changes each week), each one paired with a different glass of wine:
Sparkling
Skin Contact / Rosé
White
If you are unfamiliar with skin contact wine, it has absolutely nothing to do with trampling. The grape skins are left on to give the wine a more complex flavor and color during fermentation, but let the wine buffs at Swain's Lane tell you more……
THE WALK
Download our unique Indytute map as your guide across Hampstead Heath, before ending up at our favourite fish restaurant - Swain's Lane - for some fishy treats and a wine pairing. A good walk should always have food at the end point. In fact, if you're in the mood, take your swimmies - not only is there wild swimming in the ponds, but there's the lido on Parliament Hill, both of which are open all year round.
LOCATION: Swain's Lane, Highgate
