By Tanya Howard | Founder, The Live Review · @glamglitzlondon | Press Invite

Hithe + Seek is the ultimate spot where chic meets cosy. Nestled by the water, this intimate gem offers stunning views spilling in through the wide, open windows. But also manages to bring a level of warmth and sophistication that makes every visit feel special. This is the kind of place that makes you want to linger all night. And trust me, once the food and drinks start arriving, you will want to.

WHAT WE ORDERED

FROM THE FARM

Steak Sandwich: Charcoal Bun, Bacon Jam, Cheddar Cheese

FROM THE SEA

Bacalhau Cod Croquettes: Bell Pepper Sauce, Black Olive Crumble

Seared Scallops: ‘Forbidden’ Rice Paella, Coral Mayo

Tuna Tartar Tacos: Avocado Puree, Chives, Finger Lime

FROM THE LAND

Patatas Bravas: Manchego Cheese Foam, Black Olive Aioli

We started with the Steak Sandwich, a luxurious bite with a sweet smoky kick from the bacon jam and melted cheese. (Yes, it’s black, and yes, I somehow missed that detail on the menu—bubbles were involved!). Next up was the Bacalhau Cod Croquettes, crisp on the outside, silky inside, with a subtle Mediterranean flair from the crumble and bell pepper sauce.

Let’s take a moment to talk about the Seared Scallops. You know I can’t not order scallops if I see them on the menu! And these ones were next level, tender, perfectly seared, and beautifully present on a flavourful bed of paella. Combined with the creamy coral mayo and you’ve got a dish that you’ll be dreaming about for weeks.

For my taco loving friend Char, the Tuna Tartar Tacos were a winner. Fresh, vibrant, packed with flavour, and I could appreciate how beautifully they were plated up. And our small plates would not have been complete without the Patatas Bravas. An elevated take on this classic tapas dish, with the Manchego cheese foam and black olive aioli. Potato royalty!

LET’S TALK DRINKS

Prosecco: Obviously the Prosecco Queen had to have her fix, bubbles are life!

Caipirinha: Zesty with a great balance of citrus and sweetness.

Margarita: A tangy delight with just the right amount of tequila kick.

Every time I visit Hithe + Seek, this was my fourth visit, I leave with a full belly and a big smile. The staff are warm, attentive, and clearly love what they do. We even got to see one of them climb the ranks over the course of our visits, shoutout to that King! Whether you’re looking for cosy date night spot or a chic evening out with friends, Hithe + Seek is somewhere that will exceed your expectations. If you haven’t been, what are you waiting for? I can’t wait for my next visit!
