Darby’s is an NYC-inspired gem in Nine Elms featuring a spacious oyster bar, a bustling bakery, and a grill with outdoor tables perfect for relaxed dining.
"This Irish-influenced restaurant and bakery in Nine Elms are selling meat, cook at home meals, and alcohol to collect. You can find the changing menu on their Instagram." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"The oyster-loving, Guinness-pouring, Irish-American restaurant in Vauxhall has got an extremely roomy terrace complete with a canopy, heaters, and tasteful shrubbery. If the forecast is saying moist for an hour or two, then this is a restaurant to set up in. Start with a crab brioche roll and a pint of the black stuff before moving onto something from the grill." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Darby’s in London also serves a 'Grillda,' made up of smoked eel and mojo verde." - Bettina Makalintal
"Robin Gill’s NYC-inspired oyster bar and restaurant is as suave as it gets. The “Black, bubbles, rock ‘n’ roll” offer that runs from Wednesday to Saturday, between the hours of 5 and 7 p.m., is what sets it apart from the shucking crowd. During those two blissfully happy hours Jersey oysters are £1.50; half a dozen oysters and a pint of Guinness is £15; or, if feeling extra liquid, half a dozen oysters and a glass of English sparkling wine comes in at £20." - Lucas Oakeley
"The team behind Clapham darlings The Dairy, Sorella and Counter Culture’s oyster bar, grill and bakery opposite the American Embassy remains a brunch paradise in lockdown — even without the live jazz soundtracks on Sunday afternoons. Fuss-free yet opulent remains the mantra, with the kitchen’s pastries paired with London honey or Baron Bigod, and the promise of brunch meal kits in the future. Or there are oysters and pasta, for something a little more substantial. Nothing will arrive that doesn’t elicit a gigantic, greedy smile." - Suze Olbrich, Daisy Meager
