About the restaurant
Chef-patron Jackson Boxer operates Brunswick House in Vauxhall alongside Andrew Clarke. They pioneered a style of sensitively cooked modern British dishes, which they took to St Leonards in Shoreditch.
While its regularly changing menus are full of great meat and vegetable dishes and snacks, Orasay foregrounds fish and seafood, most of it from Scotland. Produce like fresh oysters, Isle of Mull scallops and monkfish is cooked simply and elegantly to showcase its freshness and flavour.
Orasay is the first solo restaurant from Boxer and has quickly become a neighbourhood gem. The front is inauspicious, and the compact dining room lined with small square tables makes for an intimate and cosy dining experience, whether you’re there for lunch or dinner.

Time Out
Like the decor, there is a quiet confidence to the menu. Orasay is the first solo venture from chef Jackson Boxer
Standard
The soft colour palette and soft cushions in Orasay, the reclaimed wooden boards on the ceiling helpfully absorbing noise, and the art provided by Jackson’s mum Kate Boxer all make for an attractive neighbourhood restaurant.
The Independent
With all the good intentions in place, from farm-sourced ingredients and fresh daily seafood from the Hebrides, unfortunate and unreliable British weather puts a spanner in the works
The Nudge
For the menu, Boxer has drawn on his own Scottish roots for inspiration, specifically, his “lifelong love affair with the Outer Hebrides”.
The Telegraph
It’s a narrow yet light- suffused space of pale woods, easy- going art and banquettes upholstered squidgily in mango-coloured cotton.
