This is a fabulous small business
This is a fabulous small business. I’ve been a customer for quite a few years now and the quality of the oysters and other products is very high. The oysters always arrive beautifully packaged and fresh and importantly on the specified date. Jeremy has always provided a first class customer service too.
My experience has been 10/10
My experience has been; that the oysters have been top notch, succulent and tasty. They have arrived on time. There has been good communication. I would recommend buying oysters here. Enjoy.
Simply the best Oysters
I've been using these guys for many years now and have never been disappointed.
To be able to get such wonderfully fresh oysters at source, delivered to your door feels like a true priviledge!
Customer service is second to none and has a friendly and efficient personal style that is always reassuring and fair.
Top marks all round from me!

We ordered 13 dozens of oysters from simply oysters. They are so so so fresh! Must order again.
Whole side of smoked salmon hand sliced
I ordered a whole side of smoked salmon, hand sliced. The order was acknowledged and subsequently I was kept well informed of its progress. The courier was first rate and the smoked salmon was so much appreciated at our party that I didn't have the opportunity to sample it myself! I have already circulated the company details among the many who requested them
Excellent oysters and smoked eel.
We recently ordered three dozen Maldon Oysters from Simply Oysters as we have done before. On this occasion we also ordered a whole smoked eel. Both were delivered on time in good condition and both oysters and smoked eel were excellent.
Personally, I believe buying the whole eel with the skin on means you get a better taste than you can ever get with pre-sliced eel, although that can be very good.
Overall two excellent products that gave us a great deal of pleasure on the bank holiday weekend.
We will certainly be repeating the order although as the season c hanges we may well buy the native oysters rather than the rock oysters.
All strongly reccomended.

Ordered two boxes of oysters for a 50th wedding anniversary. Fantastic service and quality! Easy ordering and delivery was excellent too.
Usually great
I’ve used Simply Oysters several times, and the oysters are generally lovely and the service great. On this occasion, however, one of my Maldons opened after 2 days and refused to close, despite being cleaned and kept in the fridge with a damp teatowel over them since the moment of delivery. I obviously discarded the dead one. These things happen, and I will use you again, but I thought I should explain why I didn’t give 5 stars.
Great service
I came across SimplyOysters by chance, thought give it a try. I like the informative site and suggestions online. Jeremy was very helpful when I booked the inconvenient delivery date (for myself). We received the delivery on time. Oysters were kept fresh and tasted delicious. A happy customer.
First time ordering from Simply Oysters…
First time ordering from Simply Oysters (won’t be the last) - communication was excellent throughout. Jeremy was responsive and very helpful, oysters arrived on time and fresh . Can’t wait to scoff the lot this weekend!! :)
Avoid this company....
Upon receipt of the delivery package, the package and the oysters inside the package were warm, which apparently have been kept under room temperature for several hours. This means the oysters were being shipped under room temperature and did not meet the requirements of UK Law about transporting high risk food (including oysters, refer to UK Food Safety Act 1990). This is putting us at risk of food poisoning.
Simple Oysters refused to provide a full refund to us, and insisted their shipment process was standard. This is highly unacceptable from a customer point of view.
I would never buy from a business who ship oysters under room temperature, especially during heatwave in summer time! This is ridiculous!

Excellent choice and service
Ordered on a Monday for Thursday delivery, received a 2 hour window for delivery and the maldon oysters and smoked fish arrived. Well packaged and insulated, the oysters were boxed and clean. We ate them over the following 4 days. Always delicious whether au naturel or cooked.
Always a great service, excellent choice and amazing oysters.

I ordered 24 rock oysters to be delivered to my house.
I ended up needing to rearrange the delivery details for a different delivery address due to my own mix up and the customer service team were outstanding and very helpful.
Jeremy in particular was very helpful and provided lots of detailed information about the shipping and packaging procedure as well as information on how to store the oysters properly.
The oysters themselves were phenomenal, on par with the oysters I had in Paris a couple weeks ago which inspired my initial purchase.
They oysters were fresh and sweet, I paid extra for the larger sizes and I was very happy with what was delivered.
I'm looking forward to my next purchase from this gem of a company.
