J.Sheekey: A Covent Garden Institution Since 1896

A Rich History

Nestled in the heart of Covent Garden, J.Sheekey has been a theatreland icon for over 125 years. Our story began in 1896 when Josef Sheekey, a local stallholder, was granted permission by Prime Minister Lord Salisbury to serve fish and shellfish in St Martin’s Court.

Customer Reviews

Great meal at J Sheekey. Went for the lunch fixed menu to try the restaurant and it was a yummy meal. Really enjoyed the miso salmon and the starters. The Brad and burger was also delightful!

I've enjoyed quite a few excellent meals in my life. Probably not enough but more than a few. Having just enjoyed an excellent lunch at J Sheekey I now have a new entrant in the top ten. Maybe not number one but really all of my dining experiences at this level were fantastic. For starters the atmosphere at J Sheekey has that nice balance of being a bit special but also welcoming and friendly. The staff played a huge part in this and without exception they were all helpful, accommodating and on hand at all times. It took quite a while to pick our dishes, because the whole menu is uniformly attractive, but it was worth the wait. My starter scallops were large, juicy and perfectly cooked. Then came the Cornish fish stew which featured generous cuts of fish and just the right quantity of shellfish. Finally I went for the apple pie, because I'm an optimist, and the result was most excellent.

J Sheekey's delivered a seafood feast! Our group of 5 had an amazing array of starters & mains: scallops, burrata, zucchini flowers, octopus, crab burger, soles, sea bass, cod and a shellfish platter. The flavors were incredible, the service great and the sides perfectly complemented each dish. They even took our nut allergy seriously. A must-visit for seafood lovers in London!
