Sweetings

The 16 Best Seafood Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"Sweetings is a seafood, lunch-only restaurant, because that’s the way it’s always been. In the heart of the City, it’s been serving whitebait, potted shrimp, pie, and crumble to business types for much of its 100-year-plus tenure. There’s a very British atmosphere about the place. One that’s almost farcical. You’ve got someone shovelling the excellent fish pie beside you. Waistcoated waiters slapping down glass bowls of prawn cocktail left, right, and centre. This is a place full of walking, talking, sentient signet rings, and the sound of the same anecdote, from different generations." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager
