FishWorks restaurants in Bath, Bristol, Christchurch and now Chiswick focus simply on the quality and range of the fresh seafood – up to 50 different varieties – which customers can choose straight from the fishmonger’s counter. Mitchell Tonks said “Our restaurants offer diners a simple yet stylish, very relaxing environment with a great atmosphere. To me, we’re basically one fantastic fishmongers – with added tables!” He went on to explain how he discovered the site in Chiswick “I am so excited about opening in Chiswick – we’ve been looking for the perfect site for our first London restaurant for so long – and I’m delighted that we’ve found this brilliant spot just down the road from Turnham Green tube. “I
just happened to be having lunch in Palatino’s – the
restaurant that was here prior to us - and I was very instantly
struck by what a lovely space it was. So I made a casual comment
to the owner, admiring it and saying that if they were ever thinking
of moving on, we’d definitely be interested….and, well
- the rest is history!” April 19, 2003 Sign
