Hunter & Co.

9.5$$$·571 reviews

A table at Hunter & Co. usually builds the meal in waves rather than in courses. The Spring 2026 menu is laid out across Snack, Crudo, Small, and Medium sections, and it does not push one big entrée per person. A first wave of oysters on the half shell and a couple of snacks gives way to the Hunter Fried Chicken or the Roasted Bone Marrow, and then a medium plate or two if the night still wants more — a Crispy Pork Knuckle Bao with hoisin, sesame, cilantro, and sweet-and-sour coleslaw, or a Spring Pea and Mushroom Alfredo with spaghettoni, maitake, and morel. The restaurant has worked this format on Talbot Street in downtown London since 2017.

The range across the menu is the point. The Crudo section keeps it simple — oysters on the half shell with rotating accoutrements, Salmon Carpaccio in yuzu and burnt scallion oil, Tuna Tataki dressed with togarashi and ponzu, a Venison Tartare with chili, caper, and cured egg yolk. The Snack list runs Piri Piri Fries with lemon aioli, Red Curry Fish Cakes with sweet chili cucumber dip, Onion Pakoras with tamarind chutney, and Balinese Corn Fritters with sweet chili mayo. The Small section then moves between Hunter Fried Chicken in hot honey, dill, pickled zucchini, and buttermilk ranch; Roasted Bone Marrow with parsley-caper salad, Kozlik's mustard, Maldon salt, and crostini; and globally tilted plates like Pig Ear Caesar with Padano and brown butter crumb, Lamb Birria Tacos with braised lamb shoulder, mozzarella, and au jus, Jerk Duck Confit with guava BBQ and rice and peas, and a Braised Spanish Octopus over hummus, pearl couscous, pomegranate molasses, and za'atar. Burrata and Focaccia arrives separately with Calabrian chili truffle crunch, hot honey, and basil. Dessert lands as Sticky Toffee Pudding with spiced toffee sauce or Thai Tea Crème Brûlée with husk cherry.

Why It’s on the Map

Three things this kitchen does the rest don’t

  1. 01

    Current Small Plates With Real Range

    The Spring 2026 menu gives Hunter & Co. a wide meal without turning generic: oysters, crudo, Hunter Fried Chicken, Roasted Bone Marrow, Lamb Birria Tacos, Braised Spanish Octopus, and Thai Tea Crème Brûlée all live in the same visit.

  2. 02

    Cocktails Carry Equal Weight

    The drinks list is not an afterthought. Signature cocktails, classic builds, low-ABV drinks, non-alcoholic options, local beer, and a broad wine list make the bar program one of the restaurant's core reasons to choose it.

  3. 03

    Weekly Features Add Planning Value

    Oyster Sundays, Early Pour, and Late Bite create useful time windows around the main dinner service. They give locals a reason to return for something more specific than a standard reservation.
