One of my favourite discoveries of the year ā¤ļø
I canāt recommend @oystershack_ in Epping Forest enough! A much loved local institute which serves an impressive range of fresh fish! I opted for their Ā£35 seafood platter which works out Ā£17.50 each and loved it! The Thai style muscles and their spiced prawns which reminds me of coronation chicken is amazing!
Separately you need to try their oysters, salty silky goodness! If youāre greedy like me than grab a fish sandwich to go, itās honestly my new fave sandwich absolutely delectable and keeps you full.
Go and check out @oystershack_ ā¤ļø
Ps if you donāt have a car then you can get here via Central Line, half hour walk from Loughton or Epping.

A day trip in Epping
Get yourself on a morning train to Epping, Loughton or Chingford to spend a hour doing a gorgeous forest walk with the end goal being @oystershack_
You have to be prepared to queue but wowww is it worth it! You stand in line in the sun with pints from the Kings Head pub next door then you get order the entire menu from the lovely team at Oyster Shack and devour each dish as it comes out fresh from kitchen
We ordered:
⢠Half a dozen Irish oysters, half a dozen jersey oysters (couldnāt believe the size of the Irish they incredibleš¦Ŗ
⢠Mixed anchovies
⢠Half shell muscles with garlic & chilli
⢠Their famous curried mango prawns - famous for a reasonš¤¤
⢠Prawn, pepper, chorizo & halloumi salad
⢠Fresh butterflied Cornish Mackerel
⢠Grilled calamari with ginger, garlic & chilli
⢠Scallops wrapped in pancetta with balsamic glaze
⢠Fried whitebait with a delicious tartare sauce
⢠Garlic butter skate knobs
⢠Unlimited bread bin to mop up all the flavour packed juices
All this for 4 of us was £100! Amazing for the amount of fresh seafood. One of my absolute favourite London day trips we have had. Head to the bars in Chingford to finish, so much fun
