The Little Fish Market

Visited for a special occasion. Food was divine - fantastically executed and cooked to perfection. Service was friendly; the ladies were lovely, if a bit stretched as everyone arrived at the same time, we waited 25 minutes to order a drink and could tell they were doing their best. At a set £85 a head it was a big treat for us, so I was disappointed to be told that, although the main was listed as being part of the tasting menu, you had to select your fish which all came with a minimum supplement of £18 per pair, pushing it to £94 pp. The fish which arrived was delicious, but was probably a quarter of a fish to share, unlike the whole fish advertised on the sample menu online with no mention of extra cost. I think if you are paying this kind of money for food, it may not matter to lots of people, but I thought it should be mentioned on the website as I felt misguided and it tainted it a little for me.

The food was faultless, cooked beautifully. The menu was creative and the items were presented immaculately. Staff very friendly. However the restaurant felt like an office canteen lacking in atmosphere, ambiance was non existent. The lighting and white interior made it feel very cold. The table layout and felt awkward. Temperature was freezing I had dinner with my coat on. Is this experience worth £338? Not sure.

Lovely tasting menu for £95pp. The egg and soldiers was my favourite course. The menu changes frequently but every course was divine. Thanks Duncan et al for a great dining experience.

We’ve visited twice - both for special occasions. The service is great. The quality and presentation of the dishes is exceptional. It’s great to be able to visit nearly a year apart and have a consistent great experience.

Absolutely excellent - we had the evening set menu and the food was amazing. The sancerre was also lovely. Would definitely recommend.

I came here to celebrate a birthday and we had a fantastic evening. There’s an added excitement to the fact that everyone is experiencing the same dishes at the same time. Playful, unexpected plates are paced throughout the evening - we stayed for about 3.5 hours but it felt more like 1.5! It was great that the chef came out to speak to us too and present some of the dishes. Would definitely recommend it

Not our first visit to The Little Fish Market, and it certainly won't be our last. The food has remained consistently good over the years, with faultless fish cookery, delicately balanced flavours, imaginative ingredient combinations and surprisingly delightful amuse bouches! This evening, the highlights for us were the pan fried cod, cured monkfish, and the diminutive but flavour-packed treacle bread. The only slight disappointment was the peanut butter, chocolate and banana dessert, which was a bit too sweet for my liking and not to my partner's taste, but that is more of a personal preference rather than a failing on the chef's part. The service, also, could have been better, with a bit of indifference and brusqueness at first, but things got better as the evening went on. Don't expect a speedy meal here, and the tasting menu will take a good three hours from start to finish, so as long as you're prepared for that, and want to enjoy delicious seafood and fish, without too many bells and whistles in the form of ambience, this is the place for you.

We were a large group my a special birthday, and the birthday person has a few allergies (including fish, but can eat shellfish). Chef Duncan was incredibly accommodating and was able to cater for her. Alice and Nicky were great at communicating, too. All this before we even ate anything!! The food was sublime, and for only £35pp for three courses, very good value. We would come again in a heartbeat!!
