This year, we celebrate 130 years of J.Sheekey. Founded by Josef Sheekey, the restaurant began life in St Martin’s Court in 1896, after the Prime Minister granted him permission to serve fish and shellfish for his post-theatre supper parties.
Since 1896, it’s been a place of return, where actors, writers, artists, and the city’s great conversationalists gather night after night, the curtain never falling.
Sheekey’s doesn’t simply serve dinner – here, the conversations matter as much as the food, and the mood matters as much as the menu. Every evening feels unique, yet unmistakably Sheekey.
To mark 130 years, we’ll be celebrating in true Sheekey style, with moments that honour our British identity, creative legacy, and the culture that has always gathered around our tables.
