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. This marked the birth of “Sheekey’s,” a beloved institution that has been shucking oysters and delighting patrons ever since.
