  “I had pre-ordered a lobster for my wife's birthday, but I hadn't realised that we would both be treated like royalty during our dining experience. We were very well looked after last night, from being shown to the best seats in the house (after a short wait in the bar), through being thoroughly looked after by Karol during our three courses, but especially Chef Ivan. He even came to our table for my wife to taste a sauce he had made for her. We felt exceptionally well looked after and the food itself was to die for. We had the roasted scallops, half a lobster (with special sauce), the fish pie and the pistachio cheescake and an Eton mess dessert. They also supplied a birthday chocolate truffle surprise, which was the cherry on the cake. This was all washed down with a lovely French Grenache. We also met a lovely fellow diner called Mikey (good to chat Mikey). Thank you all so much for last night. My wife and I were totally blow away with your hospitality. I would thoroughly recommend and we shall be back soon.”

  “You deserve far better than having someone like the member of staff who served us today representing your restaurant. My family and I have been visiting Wright Brothers for many years. We have celebrated birthdays with you and have always enjoyed the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Not long ago, when we stayed at Art'otel London Battersea Power Station the night before a close friend's wedding, we chose to have dinner with you because we knew we would receive excellent food and friendly service. Until today, every visit had been a pleasure. Unfortunately, our experience on 23 July 2026 at around 12:00 pm completely changed that. As usual, we arrived with a pram. On previous visits, due to the limited space inside the restaurant, members of your staff had asked us to leave it outside. Following that practice, we parked it neatly beside one of the planters, well out of anyone's way. As we approached the entrance, the lady responsible for greeting guests spoke to us in a very rude manner, telling us to move the pram because it was near a table and might inconvenience someone if they decided to sit there. At the time, the terrace was empty, with plenty of tables available. Moving the pram itself was never the issue—we were more than happy to do so. What upset us was the unnecessarily rude and dismissive way she spoke to us, especially when we had only done what your staff had previously asked us to do. While my friend moved the pram, I went inside with our three children. As I was organising our belongings by the entrance, I briefly turned my back. When I looked around, I saw my young son reaching towards the bottle of hand sanitiser placed on the table by the entrance. Instead of simply speaking to him or addressing me, this member of staff abruptly thrust her hand between my son and the bottle in a very aggressive manner to stop him touching it. My son froze. He was visibly startled. I am quite certain she did not realise that I was watching the entire interaction. I immediately told her there was no need to behave like that towards a child. If she had any concern about him touching the sanitiser, she should have spoken to me rather than treating a small child so harshly. Her explanation was that she did not want the sanitiser to be touched because it might spill onto the table. However, if the bottle is placed on a table at the entrance within easy reach of every customer, it is clearly there to be used. If customers are not supposed to touch it because it might spill, then why is it placed there in the first place? The issue was never the sanitiser. It was the way she chose to treat a child when she believed his mother was not looking. My friend asked to speak to the manager, and I explained exactly what had happened. Shockingly, this member of staff then called me a liar in front of him. The manager apologised, said he would speak to her, and invited us to sit on the terrace. However, after everything that had happened, we no longer felt comfortable staying and decided to leave instead. As we were walking away, the member of staff could be heard forcing a false laugh in what felt like a childish attempt to provoke us further. That was the final straw. It is deeply disappointing because your restaurant has always been somewhere we genuinely enjoyed visiting. Whether this member of staff simply dislikes children or was unhappy that our arrival meant the start of more work while the restaurant was quiet, her behaviour was completely unacceptable and fell far below the standard we have always associated with Wright Brothers. Unfortunately, we never obtained her name, but given the date and time of our visit, I am sure you will be able to identify who was working on the door around midday on 23 July. I sincerely hope you will investigate this matter. We would love to continue visiting your restaurant in the future, but not while this individual is representing your business in this way. If this matter is properly addressed, I would be more than happy to remove my review. I have attached a few photos of our previou vis.”

  “Jessica was amazing! So hospitable and welcoming for the pound a pop oyster! She made our experience incredible!! Will definitely be coming back! Service was SO FAST for our 2 servings of two dozen oysters and tasted incredible with a range of lemon, green and red tabasco, and california hogwash which was amazing! There is a new menu deal for 40gbp wine bottle of Muscadet instead of 49gbp if purchasing 12 oysters in pound a pop oysters!”

  “Love this place! Thank god we booked ahead and I definitely recommend booking the pound an oyster hour which we went to the Sunday 6pm-9pm, plenty of time to get moreish However, you can’t get the oysters dressed even if you offered to pay extra more, it won’t be an option to add more dressing besides your normal Tabasco, shallot vinegar and lemon juice but otherwise can’t complain about £1 an oyster is a bargain! We’ve ordered fish pie and shrimp burger which were both delicious, but I think we should’ve ordered differently. Seafood platter, sharing dishes would’ve been a better option next time! Overall, the experience to have food here was amazing, great view and atmosphere. Definitely recommended!! 10/10”

  “Walked past this place many times, but today after a busy Sunday shopping we spotted a free table on the edge of the promenade. Whilst far from the cheapest pint in London, but the location next to the Thames by the fountain is perfect for watching the diverse bunch of locals and tourists walk by. Jake behind the bar, and Jessica on table service both went above and beyond to accommodate us, hence the 5 star review. Definitely coming back to try the £1 a pop oyster evenings.”

  “I was there for the £1 oyster happy hour. On arrival, we asked to sit on the terrace. There was no option when booking to select either indoor or terrace seating, yet we were told that all outdoor tables were reserved based on requests made in booking notes. This felt inconsistent, especially as several outdoor tables were visibly empty and reservation signage was mixed, with some tables marked and others unmarked. When we asked if there was a waiting list, we were initially told no, then advised we could wait at the bar for 10 minutes for a table. We were seated outside within about 4 minutes, which made the initial refusal feel poorly managed. We were also told that happy hour oysters would take a while to arrive. In reality, they arrived within around 10 minutes. We ordered 25 oysters but only 12 arrived. After waiting, we flagged this and were told it was an order entry mistake. A waiter later attempted to clear our table while there were still oysters remaining, only noticing when we pointed it out. We also had to request the bill from a second member of staff after waiting around 20 minutes. The food itself was good, but the overall experience was let down by inconsistent communication and repeated service errors.”

  “We shared 16 oysters between the two of us, perfectly complemented by a crisp Muscadet. While enjoying the oysters, we tried a couple of Bloody Marys—honestly, some of the best I’ve ever had. If you’re a fan of the drink, they are an absolute must-order. The service was attentive throughout, and the atmosphere is fantastic. It’s a place I’ll definitely be returning to whenever I’m in London and looking for that specific, laid-back energy. P.S - The “Gillardeau” oysters are a must. (Just a thought.)”

  “I visited Wright Brothers at Battersea Power Station this evening after attending a pop-up event nearby. I originally went for the £1 oysters 🦪, but once I arrived, I noticed they were offering a two-course set menu for £24 😳which sounded too good to miss. For my starter, I had 3 oysters, followed by the Brixham Whitey for my main from the set menu. I also ordered the octopus as I love it and couldn’t resist. They had 3 different ciders, and I chose the strongest one, happened to be a great choice 👍 It was mellow, refreshing, and not sweet at all. The set menu oysters were small but very tasty, which encouraged me to order 5 more from the £1 oyster deal. Interestingly, the set menu oysters were slightly tastier than the £1 ones, but I enjoyed them all. The octopus was cooked beautifully – tender and not chewy, served with a creamy sauce and pine nuts (though I wish the portion had been a bit larger! 😭). The highlight was the main dish. The pan-fried white fish fillets were perfectly cooked and served on a bed of crushed potatoes and peas, with a delicious sauce (salsa verde?) that worked wonderfully with the delicate fish. The staff were very attentive and helpful, and the location is fantastic; right by the Thames and next to Battersea Power Station. I’ll definitely visit again, but I also hope they’ll open a branch in Hampstead 😭🙏”

  “Great place at Battersea - which in itself is a destination - that specializes in fresh seafood dishes. It’s a big place with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, all really comfortable with plenty of corners and dividers making for some small places and an intimate feel. We went with a local and felt like locals, but I honestly think they treat every guest that way. Very friendly staff and very welcoming - even to dogs! The service was spot on and the menu has a nice variety. The dishes were all well prepared and tasty. We had a vegetarian dish and a steak and sea dish, all as equally good as the house specialty seafood dishes. Great place overall, can’t wait to go back.”
