La perle du quartier
Bien pour les occasions spéciales
Innovant

Skua is a small basement restaurant and bar located on St Stephen street in Stockbridge. The food menu, led by Head Chef James Aikman, is seasonal, refined, well balanced and innovative. Drawing from a large library of pickled and fermented produce year round the kitchen team offers dishes that punch well above their weight and are produced in an exceptionally small space, visible to guests as they enter the restaurant. The cocktail programme, spearheaded by Jacob Thunder is equally innovative and playful with a regularly rotating selection of house favourites as well as the classics available on request. Skua has been listed in the Michelin Guide and The Good Food Guide since its opening year in 2023.

We were so looking forward to our dinner at Skua but were really disappointed. We found the focaccia bland and stale, the celeriac served with the beef shin undercooked and the beef shin itself over salted. We ordered venison which was very tough and we found to be very overpriced at £30 for 2 very small pieces of venison and no carbs. We enjoyed the leek dish and found the wine by the glass interesting and delicious. Service was a little too informal, with nobody checking on us, an ordered dish forgotten about and no offer of additional wine or mentioning that we’d booked for a special occasion The reviews are great so potentially just an off night but we won’t be rushing back!

The atmosphere was excellent, with limited and intentional lighting and good music, the food was so tasty and the wine selection was brilliant, it was truly a feast for the tastebuds as well as the eyes. The staff were really accommodating, friendly and helpful. It is amazing what the people at Skua have managed to accomplish in that tiny space, would love to go again and recommend Skua strongly.

We have been there for drinks on New Years Eve and the Cocktails were outstanding. The restaurant is Souterrain and offers a cozy environment- just right to end the year. The staff was super nice and we got offered a drink as well to welcome the new year. As we did not have food it is difficult to rate that, so this is why I only gave 3 stars. I bet it is delicious as well. We definitely want to come again- but this time for a proper dinner!
