Back in the day, it didn't need to be a special occasion to enjoy a plate of oysters with a pint of stout by the sea. We're keeping the dockyard spirit alive by serving you simple, fresh shellfish, craft beer - brewed onsite - and wine in a relaxed environment, any day of the week. In 2016, we became a freehouse.
So now we can offer you an even wider range of beers both on tap and in bottles. And in 2018, we installed a little brewery in our basement so we have our own brews (Larrikin) on tap as standard. For announcements on special events, please check out our social media channels or sign up to our mailing list.

We've always loved beer. Before establishing The Urchin, Nick worked for Little Creatures Brewery in Australia and Austen worked in Belgium, pouring some of the best, original craft beers. When The Urchin started in 2015, we maintained well over 100 bottles from all over the World. A year later, when the pub became fully independent, we began brewing our own beer.

We turned up with no booking on a winter Saturday afternoon, which of course meant we only had the outside garden to sit in. Which was alright with their outdoor heaters 🔥.
Food was pretty delicious 👌🏽
The Crayfish & Crab Cocktail 🦀 🦐 had nicely balanced flavours and was fresh but perhaps a tad small on the portion size for the price we paid. But I suppose you trade off portion size for higher quality and higher prices. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The XL Tiger Prawns was super delicious, the prawn peals off super easily. Definitely recommend getting your fingers stuck in for this one 🏽

Sshh. Don’t tell anyone, but this place is fantastic.
If you like shellfish and brilliant cooking, no nonsense, relaxed dining, this is the place for you.
There’s a nice range of well kept beers to make a change from the obligatory white wine shellfish accompaniment, although they do those as well, of course!

This is a fantastic pub. I first want to recognize the incredible service we’ve received every time we’ve dined in. The team is friendly, prompt and does everything to ensure a great meal. The food is absolutely impeccable and reasonable for what you get. Great selection of beers. Just overall an incredible place to eat with a great team.

Having recently developed a new found love for seafood my hubby brought me here for my birthday and my goodness what a treat! Every single thing on the menu sounded amazing an we had a hard time not ordering everything. They have a vast variety of beers and drinks and all a reasonable price. The set up of the place also works well for those wanting to just have a drink and those looking for a nice place for a meal as the two halves are slightly separated. As for recommendations we ordered the salt and pepper squid, the lobster hot dog, crispy crab, prawns, scallops, and the chocolate brownie with

I don't often rate places 5 stars but this was a defo ite 5 star rating. Service was great with friendly staff. The venue is nice and quaint but still well spaced out. The wine selection was great for seafood. I had a lobster which at £36 for the size was fantastic. Everything else like the Korean prawns and Malaysian style seafood was amazing and very well.priced.
