About the Restaurant:

Bentley’s has been serving its fish and chips and feeding the hungry shopping masses for over 100 years, a haven for fresh oysters, grilled fish and steaks from around the British & Irish Isles and has been under the watchful eye of Chef Richard Corrigan for the past 10 years.

For over 100 years the foremost and the fashionable have been dropping in. A light lunch of langoustines, a dozen oysters and a flute of fizz with friends, before the theatre. The Oyster Bar is relaxed, witty but serious about seafood. Our oyster boys are more chilled than a dozen of Loch Ryan’s finest, resting on a bed of chopped ice.

Upstairs, the Grill serves suppers that sing out for themselves. Wild Cornish mussels followed by seared sea bass or roast grouse – for example – presented amidst décor that recalls William Morris, blue leather, warm wood and fish art on the wall.

With four venues in the United Kingdom & Ireland that range from country estates to elegant restaurants, we can accommodate parties of all sizes.
