J. Sheekey
London, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
J. Sheekey has served seafood in St Martin's Court since 1896, tucked into the alley behind the West End theatres it has always fed. The rooms are small and wood-panelled, hung with photographs of the actors who have eaten here between performances for over a century. The cooking is British and unfussy at heart — potted shrimp, dressed crab, fish pie — with mains around £35. The theatre connection still shapes the evening: early tables before curtain-up, late ones after, and a dining room that stays warm rather than formal despite its age and address.
