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.

    Very lovely experience. Beautiful minimalist deco, dark and sexy room. We shared four dishes, market fish was outstanding and steak tartare very tasty and balanced, mussels delicious and shiitake good. We also had a couple of cocktails and wine. Really enjoyed.

    This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. The understated menu doesn't do the dishes justice, everything had incredible flavour and was cooked exceptionally. The service was really good with the staff being friendly, amiable and really knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
