Taking his cue from Pearly Queen’s location, Tom takes inspirationn from the East End and its lively history, heritage and traditions of fish cookery. Pearly Queen’s menu features oysters & shellfish and inventive takes on fish recipes with a cocktail menu, curated by Max Venning (Three Sheets) where classic cocktails have a coastal take.
The 60-cover restaurant is spread across two floors. Upstairs echos an East End boozer with a bar offering counter seating with the afternoon sun primed to stream through the floor to ceiling windows. Downstairs, plush banquettes, secret cubbies, pearlescent and gold accenting beckon late-night indulgence.
Seafood-focused
Crispy buffalo oysters with a ranch dressing; shellfish hummus and tuna and parmesan gougères; terrine of octopus; grilled lobster served in XO lobster butter and whole plaice in a roast chicken sauce and the ‘100-layer’ cuttlefish lasagne.
The OCS cocktail, consisting of gin and olive oil with cucumber and lemon and the Pearly Martini - made with vodka or gin, Picpoul and a pearl onion.
