Fishes Restaurant (Burnham Market)

Entry categories: Restaurants

Our restaurant menus are updated twice daily. To make a booking or to enquire about our rooms please telephone us on 01328 738588.

We source as many of our ingredients as possible from local suppliers. Richard Loose brings our oysters from nearby Brancaster. Tom Large delivers mussels from there too. Simon Letzer supplies our lobsters plus the occasional surprise! Even the flour for our delicious bread comes from English wheat milled at nearby Letheringsett in one of the country’s few remaining working Watermills.

We used to work for Rick Stein in Cornwall who inspired us to open a fish restaurant. Yet, we remain very aware of the continuing over-fishing of our oceans and are working hard to steer our way to more sustainable sources of fish.

Matthew believes passionately that there should be more fish restaurants of quality dotted around our island. He likes to cook real food; boldly flavoured, but not over embellished or too showy. Simply allowing the quality of the fine ingredients to shine through.

Although our menus are almost exclusively seafood we are, of course, more than happy to cook meat, vegetarian or to meet any dietary requirements. Please let us know when you make your booking.

WINE
With good food there must be good wine and Caroline and Matthew spend a lot of time developing their wine list to compliment their food. We believe, for example, that many red wines go well with our fish dishes just as long as the tannins are soft.

We work very closely with our wine suppliers and producers to ensure that the wines on offer at Fishes are varied and exciting. In recent years we have made visits to vineyards in Burgundy, Beaujolais and Alsace enabling us to hand select only the choicest wines for the restaurant.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
