"A seaside restaurant in the city..."Born from a pop-up Seafood Shack in Hackney and with the successes of further projects The Bonnie & Wild and the Bonnie-on-Sky under our belts we decided to take things a step further and open up a full-time and permanent restaurant of our very own. Bonnie Gull Seafood Shack is a clarion call to British Seafood; a nostalgic journey to the seaside holidays of our youth; a showcase of the best produce from British shores; a seaside restaurant in the city.The Bonnie Gull Philosophy:On this little island we call home we’re lucky enough to be surrounded by some of the finest seafood in the world.
