Richard Haward

We’re extremely sad to have to announce that Richard Haward passed away in the early hours of September 12th. He died peacefully and painlessly. His wife, Heather, and children, Bram, Caz, Joe and Tom, were by his side. Richard was a pioneer for the oyster industry, and he passionately cared about seeing a thriving shellfish community with every last breath. Everyone at Richard Haward’s Oysters will miss him and are thankful to him for his kindness, support and mentorship over the years.

Discover the unique oyster farming history of the Haward family, and mail order our award winning Mersea oysters, or pick them up from our stand at Borough Market, London.

Richard Haward's Oysters supply some of the finest oysters in the world. For eight generations we have been cultivating our Mersea oysters in the River Blackwater, purifying them with that same sea water, giving them their unique and remarkable flavour. 

Borough Market

Borough Market is situated in Southwark, near London Bridge, and is a bustling hub of foodie delights. We orginally began selling our Mersea oysters at the market in the early 2000's, and saw the city's love for our oysters grow. We have a permanent stand on Stoney Street, which enables us to provide a place for people to sit and slurp our delicious mollusc. We are also licenced, so come and enjoy a chilled glass of wine to accompany your oysters. See below for our opening times, and then come and visit us! We're looking forward to seeing you.
