Hix Oyster & Fish House
Cobb Road, Lyme Regis, Dorset DT7 3JP

The Oyster and Fish House opened its doors in June 2008. The restaurant overlooks The Cobb in Lyme Regis with uninterrupted views of the Jurassic coastline and Lyme Regis fishing port, where John Fowles’ The French Lieutenants Woman was filmed.
The location of Fish House is hard to beat. We’ve kept things simple, a small terrace with a wooden bar seats up to eight people - easily the best spot on the South West coast to enjoy lobster and chips or a dozen oysters and bottle of Champagne whilst gazing out to sea - and floor to ceiling windows that open out giving diners great views and an inside/outside dining experience.
The food at Fish House follows in the same vein. We believe in the very best ingredients cooked, simple, simple, simple. A blackboard of the day’s oysters and a small selection of dishes using fresh fish from sustainable sources will make up our menu. We’ll offer a variety of seasonal oysters at any one time. We also have several meat dishes on the menu.
Our head chef Seldon Curry is joined by Jonathan Jeffrey who runs front of house.
We’re quite small, seating about 45 covers in the restaurant, so it’s a good idea to book, but we also have a chef's table in the kitchen downstairs. While you might not get the sea views, we’ve created a bit of theatre in that we have an open kitchen with a bar area from which you can eat while watching the chefs at work.
HIX Oyster and Fish House support sustainable fishing. For more information visit the Marine Stewardship Council website.
