Wright Brothers supply over 300 prominent restaurants and chefs across the UK with a range of high quality, sustainable oysters, fish and seafood.
Wright Brothers was established in 2002 by brothers-in-law Ben Wright and Robin Hancock, whose mission was to bring oysters back to popularity in the UK and back onto London restaurant menus. Since then, the name Wright Brothers has become synonymous with the finest, freshest seafood.
Group head chef Richard Kirkwood, came to Wright Brothers with five years’ experience from J Sheekey’s.
He counts his greatest influencers to be Tim Hughes of Caprice Holdings and Roy Brett, Head Chef at Ondine in Edinburgh. He enjoys working with fish for its lightness and quickness of preparation. He considers oysters the purest form of eating.
