Wright Brothers Borough Market

"You could mistake Wright Brothers for a seaside pub, with its barrels for tables and pints of prawns all over the shop. Except without the traumatic memories of being shoved in a caravan with five of your relatives in Morecambe Bay. It’s all very relaxed and unpretentious, with oysters by the dozen and seafood cooked simply to let the natural flavours do their thing. Grab a seat and a pint of porter, and feel relieved you’re not one of the suckers inching their way through the crowds in the market." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley

"Wright Brothers is our favourite spot to perch with a beer and a pint of prawns, because it feels like you’re in Borough Market without having to deal with the shoulder-to-shoulder chaos of the market itself. It overlooks the stalls and specialises in seafood, so you can get everything from a snack to a full-blown seafood tower. Dodging the rain here, with a cold drink, is a quintessentially London experience, and perhaps the one thing we’d unequivocally travel to Borough for." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"Did the oyster stall catch the attention, but it’s closed for the day or prefer table service? Head to Wright Brothers on Stoney Street, where as well as bivalve molluscs, diners should look for dressed crab, beef and oyster pie, and seafood platters." - Ed Smith

"You could share Wright Brothers’ fish pie. But sitting solo at one of the high tables on a cold day, breaking through the burnished crust and scooping up creamy mash and cheesy sauce is a luxurious thing. Given this London Bridge spot is known for its seafood-focused menu, it’s unsurprising the fish—generous chunks of meaty cod, sea trout, and haddock—is cooked perfectly, giving up at a little nudge of a fork. Comfort food at its finest." - Rianne Shlebak, Heidi Lauth Beasley, Daisy Meager, Jake Oliver

"At its best, seafood relies on unpredictability, freshness trumping all, so calling this shoal of restaurants across London “dependable” might come across the wrong way. That said, a reliable supplier is a good one, and Wright Brothers — which gets much of its catch from its own wholesale operation — offers up daily specials alongside dishes served everyday. Whether fish soup and rouille, a pint of Atlantic prawns, or Cornish sardines on toast, it’s quality fish treated well." - Adam Coghlan, James Hansen, Jonathan Nunn
