Sweetings

Sweetings is a historic British seafood restaurant located at 39 Queen Victoria Street in the City of London. Since 1889, it has been based in its current location. It is only available for lunch on weekdays and does not accept bookings.

To wit, one-time owner George Needham was allegedly promised £1,000,000 in cash by a south London criminal named George Francis. The exquisite shellfish (oysters, potted shrimps, for example) and quaintly British puddings are more notable for present purposes. A Sweetings Black Velvet (Guinness and champagne) is the signature drink, and it has many fans, including Fergus Henderson, who was inspired to propose to his wife after drinking one.

Sweetings takes pleasure in presenting a diverse selection of sustainable seafood, ranging from wild fresh Scottish Salmon, which is usually the first fish of the season, to native oysters from the Essex coast's West Mersea. Barfoot Ltd selects the daily fish with care. Monday through Friday, from 11.30 a.m. to 3 p.m., the store is open. There are no reservations available. In the evenings and on weekends, the facility is available to rent for private gatherings. It is also utilized as a film and television set.
