Café Mercy and Hjem announce new one-off Oyster Shucking Special

Café Mercy and Hjem have announced a one-off collaboration, pairing fresh oysters with premium cocktails and fine wine.

On Sunday, November 10, Café Mercy will host an exclusive Oyster Shucking Special, featuring oysters prepared by the team at Hjem paired with cocktails developed by Café Mercy.

Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the oysters with two signature accompaniments – Hjem’s own house-made hot sauce and a Scandinavian-inspired pickle.

Martin Waugh, Hjem’s sommelier said: “We’ve known Neil and the team at Café Mercy for years, and their venue on Grey Street is the perfect place for us to present this type of event.

“It’s a bit of an oyster party – laid-back, with friends, great music, paired cocktails and serving some of the best local produce.”

Neil Donachie, co-founder of Café Mercy, said: “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Hjem for our Oyster Shucking Special.

“At Café Mercy, we pride ourselves on creating experiences that bring people together over great drinks, food, and conversation.

“Partnering with such an incredible Michelin-starred restaurant to serve fresh oysters fits perfectly with our ethos of celebrating quality and artisanry.

“We can’t wait to welcome guests for a laid-back afternoon of cocktails, oysters, and good company.”
