The idea for Parsons was born several years ago and is from the same owners of the ten tills across the street. Will and Ian have always loved classic English seafood restaurants and wanted to create something new and exciting where wine and prepared seafood play an equally important part in the experience. The two have created an unpretentious and fun restaurant where one is just as happy to drop in for a glass of wine and some oysters as one is to sit down for a more extended meal. The name Parsons is a sentimental dedication to the mothers of Will and Ian, who coincidentally share the same maiden name.

The Oystermen Seafood Bar & Kitchen is now open for inside and outside dining. Friends and Seasoned restaurant pros Matt Lovell and Rob Hampton founded The Oystermen in 2016. They first met when Matt interviewed Rob for a job! Initially, The Oystermen set out to host first-class oyster bars at marriages and events but with the long-term ambition of opening their restaurant to showcase the finest and freshest oysters and seafood from all corners of the British Isles. Following on from their first gig – Matt’s very own wedding – a year of buzz-generating parties, festivals, street food markets, pop-ups and brewery collaborations later, that dream became a reality in July 2017 with the opening of the first permanent Oystermen Seafood Bar & Kitchen in Covent Garden.
