Our fishermen
Locally caught fish
We have fantastic links to our local Lowestoft fish auction, Maldon for oysters and Brixham fish market, where we have our own buyer on the market each day and a fantastic supply of fresh, day boat fish on our doorstep!

Lowestoft offers us species such as; skate and Dover soles all year round, cod in the winter, sea bass in the spring and summer, lobsters in summer, and the occasional small landings of herring, sprats, turbot, brill and monkfish.

Brixham, Devon
Brixham fish market provides us with a host of local day boat fish each day. Our buyer on the market, buys from Brixham market early each day to ensure the best of the day boat landings available. With over 40 species of fish landing into Brixham, our fisherman bring in coastal native species like lemon sole, john dory, gurnard, red mullet, plaice, brill, turbot, whiting, megrim sole, dover sole, monkfish, mackerel, herring, sardines, hake and many more. This is in addition to a wide range of hand dived and day boat shellfish such as, scallops, crabs and lobsters.
Farmed fish often features on core menu lines due to its consistent quality, availability and price. To enable us to guarantee responsible sourcing, we buy and import directly from source, such as salmon from Scotland and Norway.
We only work with small, specialist operators for live shellfish. In summer months we buy lobsters and crabs from local fishermen and during the winter we import directly from North America. We have live shellfish holding tanks enabling us to guarantee ultimate freshness.
