The Shell Holborn is a seafood restaurant at 124 Southampton Row, serving the neighbourhood since 2020. The kitchen focuses on fresh shellfish and fish prepared with care, while the comfortable dining room offers a central setting for anything from a quick lunch to a generous seafood feast shared with friends.

Starters move through chilled or garlic butter king prawns, octopus salad, dressed crab, scallops, mussels, calamari and oysters served raw or grilled. Chilled fruit de mer platters combine oysters, whelks, crab, prawns, shrimp and mussels, with lobster available for diners who want to turn the selection into a larger centrepiece.

Hot seafood platters bring together lobster, oysters, scallops, squid, king prawns and mussels, with several sizes designed for one, two or three people. Grilled octopus, seabass, salmon, fish and chips, lobster linguine and seafood linguine broaden the menu, while sweet potatoes, broccoli, salad, fries or seafood rice complete the dishes.

Sirloin, ribeye, fillet steak and lamb chops provide alternatives to seafood and can be paired with half a lobster for a classic surf and turf meal. The meat is halal, and alcohol free preparation can be requested for seafood recipes that ordinarily use wine, while familiar desserts and a concise children’s menu make the restaurant practical for mixed groups.

Address: 124 Southampton Row, Holborn, London WC1B 5AA, United Kingdom
