We had chosen the Oyster & Fish House for our wedding long before our event in June 2021, but the pandemic had other ideas. The staff coped with three changes of date and of course changes in numbers with equanimity and patience. When our date was finally confirmed, we had already had a registry office ceremony, so had to come up with an alternative 'entertainment' for our guests. Ever ready for new ideas, Jo and her team rigged up a small outdoor theatre so that we could have speeches and our own personal vows on a small stage in full view of our 30 friends and family members. They even rigged up a link to my Mum in her nursing home so she could enjoy the ceremony too!

Mark and Jo worked out a menu with us beforehand which would fit with our budget but which would wow our guests, including plenty of Hix Fixes (a cocktail to really get the party going) and Lyme Bay Reserve sparkling wine to accompany the cuttlefish croquettes and cheese and pickled walnut canapés, all served on the terrace. The starters and main course, all served by the wonderful and highly competent team, were an extraordinary mix of oysters, smoked salmon, asparagus and mixed beets. Mains consisted of mixed fish and shellfish and the star of the show: Hannan's mighty marbled sirloin steak. It was all SUPERB. And I shall remember the Pavlova with Chocolate Mousse with Temperley Cherries till the day I die.

We will always remember our special day as filled with light, laughter and love. All our guest were absolutely stunned by the view and the restaurant décor, and we had the time of our lives. We would like to particularly commend Mark and the catering team for a highly memorable lunch and Jo and her team for accommodating all our quirky requirements and even last minute changes to the seating plan.

This is a restaurant team that works (in all senses of the word), and we cannot recommend them highly enough. They have a foolproof plan that means nothing gets overlooked, and their calm assurance means that last minute nerves are quickly smoothed away.

The Oyster & Fish House is somewhere we will revisit many times, and will recapture our very happy memories of the most special of days. Thanks to all the staff!
