Galvin Bistrot & Bar Launches “Oyster Hour” with £1 Oysters and £5 Mini Martinis

This May, local Mediterranean bistro, Galvin Bistrot & Bar introduces Oyster Hour, a new campaign designed for leisurely afternoons, spontaneous meet-ups, and the growing appetite for simple, indulgent dining moments. Launching on 9th May, the offering pairs £1 oysters with a curated drinks selection, led by a standout £5 Mini Gin or Vodka Martini – a playful nod to the ‘Girl Dinner’ trend currently taking over TikTok.

Available Monday to Thursday from 3pm – 6pm, and Friday to Saturday from 2.30pm – 7pm, Oyster Hour invites guests to enjoy freshly served oysters with lemon and shallots, with optional add-ons including ponzu dressing and caviar for a more elevated experience.

Alongside the oysters, a special menu of £9 drinks will be available, featuring:
2025 Symphonie Château Sainte-Marguerite Rosé
Château Sainte-Marguerite Rosé Spritz
Bloody Mary
Designed to complement the oysters without overcomplicating the experience, the drinks menu balances classic favourites with refreshing, easy-going options. Alongside, Château Sainte-Marguerite is taking over Galvin Bistrot & Bar’s outdoor terrace across the summer, offering up the ultimate Provençal rosé experience in the city.

In addition to the launch of Oyster Hour, from 9th May, Galvin Bistrot & Bar will open for all-day dining every Friday and Saturday, with reservations available throughout the day – offering even more flexibility for guests to drop in, dine, and unwind.

Galvin Bistrot & Bar is a relaxed, Mediterranean-style bistro just moments from Spitalfields Market, offering high-quality food at an accessible price in a setting that suits everything from outdoor terrace dining and leisurely lunches to after-work drinks and private celebrations. The menu showcases Mediterranean dishes made with the finest seasonal produce, while the bar centres on vermouth-led cocktails and a carefully curated, sustainability-focused wine list.

Blending the charm of a neighbourhood favourite with the standards of the Galvin name, Galvin Bistrot & Bar continues to deliver approachable dining with genuine care and flavour at its heart.
