Acclaimed British chef and restaurateur Mark Sargeant will turn the spotlight to fish and seafood at The Victoria Oxshott with The Coastal Table, a one-night-only seafood dinner on Friday 20 November 2026 as part of his four-month residency at the Surrey gastropub. A special set lunch menu will also be available that day.

Working alongside Head Chef Daniel Lee and the established kitchen team, Sargeant has created two menus for the occasion: a dinner tasting menu priced at £155 per person and a set lunch menu at £55 per person. Dinner will include a glass of Rathfinny Blanc de Blancs 2019 on arrival, bringing a taste of English sparkling wine to the table.

Following his September takeover and October’s Game On dinner, The Coastal Table is the latest special dining event in Sargeant’s residency at The Victoria, where his collaboration with Lee and the team continues throughout the remainder of 2026.

The dinner tasting menu opens with seaweed focaccia, smoked cod’s roe and radishes, alongside smoked caviar butter; smoked mackerel and horseradish mousse. A consommé of lobster and kombu dashi follows, served with tortellini of Dorset crab and kombu caviar, finished with lobster oil.

Further courses include sashimi of yellowfin tuna with ponzu dressing, prawn cracker and chicken salt, followed by a ballotine of Loch Duart salmon with ikura caviar and chive crème fraîche. Monkfish en croûte with warm tartare sauce forms the centrepiece of the menu, bringing Sargeant’s distinctive modern British cooking to a classic preparation.

A sorbet of lemon verbena and basil, served with pink fizz, leads into a 70% dark Callebaut chocolate tart with poached spiced pear. The evening finishes with macarons, toffee apple pâtes de fruits and salted caramel chocolates.

For those joining at lunchtime, the £55 set menu begins with a welcome drink and the same seaweed focaccia and smoked seafood accompaniments, followed by ballotine of Loch Duart salmon with ikura caviar and chive crème fraîche. A seafood broth brings together scallops, prawns, clams, mussels, lobster broth and grilled oyster, before the dark chocolate tart with poached spiced pear and a selection of petit fours.

With all seafood sustainably sourced, The Coastal Table brings a fresh focus to the ingredient-led cooking at the quintessentially English village pub, pairing an ambitious seafood menu with The Victoria’s relaxed hospitality.

Mark Sargeant comments: “I’ve always loved cooking fish and seafood, so The Coastal Table is a menu I’m particularly looking forward to sharing. We’ve got some fantastic produce to work with, from Dorset crab to Loch Duart salmon, and dishes that range from a delicate lobster and kombu consommé to monkfish en croûte with warm tartare sauce. There’s plenty of variety, but the idea is always to let the ingredients shine. After September’s takeover and our Game On dinner, it’s great to be back with Dan and the team for another special occasion at The Victoria.”

Sargeant spent 13 years working alongside Gordon Ramsay, rising through the ranks to lead Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s from its opening in 2001. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star under his leadership in 2002, which it retained throughout his tenure.

He later established a collection of his own restaurants and pubs, with much of his work centred in his native Kent, and has appeared regularly on British television, including Saturday Kitchen, Great British Menu and The F Word.

The Coastal Table takes place for one night only at The Victoria Oxshott on Friday 20 November 2026, with the set lunch menu available earlier that day. The dinner tasting menu is priced at £155 per person and the set lunch menu at £55 per person.
