Alfresco wine and seafood bar opens for the summer
A longstanding fishmongers is embarking on a new venture for summer.
The Fish Shop has opened Perch, an evening tapas-style seafood and wine bar with outdoor seating.
The new menu offers small dishes such as oysters (£2 each), paired with a mignonette sauce, ceviche and sashimi. All are paired with sourdough bread.

The Fish Shop owner Daniel Stern is “excited and nervous like with any new venture” and pitched the bar to “busy mums and dads who can pop to Perch for a snack and escape the kids”.
With wine starting at £3.50 a glass and a lager for £4, Stern hopes to create a “European experience” for customers each evening that won’t damage the bank.
The pop-up has been in the works for some time, with customers suggesting the team could serve alcohol to compliment the fish.
The seafood bar on Gloucester Road is open Thursday to Saturday from 6pm to 10pm, and Sunday from 1pm to 7pm.
