"The oysters at this relaxed seafood mini-chain once made us compare an unsuspecting Carlingford to Ryan Gosling’s fictional unicorn milk-spiked tears. We make no apologies. If you consider yourself a bit of an oyster freak, try the cooked, butter-loaded rockefeller variety but we prefer the quintessential raw oysters from France, Ireland, and Scotland. There are locations in Borough Market and South Kensington, but our favourite is the Battersea restaurant for the excellent river views. " - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
