Fat Lobster

Great cocktails. Good food. The mussels were good. The tatties were ok. The octopus was very tender but lacked flavor. Ambience was modern, nice but a bit generic and sterile.

The food was amazing, the service not so great. Booked a table for 8pm had to wait 10 mins to be seated and then a further 20 for any orders to be taken. Ordered a couple of oysters, scallops, octopus and a couple of lobster rolls. We'd been in the restaurant for over an over before the first thing arrived, the oysters which is bizarre because there's no cooking involved. The scallops and octopus arrived at the same time then the lobster rolls arrived just as we were finishing those. The server did mention that the dishes are served tapas style and would arrive when they're ready which is fair enough if it's all small sharing plates but I think they'd be better just listing the menu as starters and mains and serve it like that rather than small and large plates. The lobster roll is main course size and the octopus and scallops starter size so having them all arrive at the table at roughly the same time just makes the whole thing a bit disjointed. Anyway apart from that and the really long wait to be served and any food to arrive at the table, the food itself was amazing and it's a very good menu. The oysters were fresh and tasty, the scallops and octopus were both cooked perfectly and really were top quality. The lobster roll was also excellent and packed full of lobster meat with a big portion of very good fries on the side. The only criticism would be that with the hot lobster roll, whenever I've had a really good one the roll is toasted, it just adds to it and makes it even better but they don't do that in here. The prices are fair especially considering the quality of the food and they serve really good cocktails too. As good as the food is I probably wouldn't rush back though, maybe for a lobster roll at lunchtime but not for dinner

Visited for the first time last night, we had the hot lobster roll, mussels, and lobster Mac & Cheese. The mussels were definitely the favourite, absolutely gorgeous! My only negative feedback was the upstairs feels like an unfinished after thought, it feels like the inside of an old cabin compared to downstairs which is lovely, two completely different vibes. Friendly service, didn’t get the girls name (purple hair), knowledgable, quick service. Good place if you fancy something a bit different, I’d recommend requesting a downstairs table if your planning on a date night/special occasion.

Fantastic food, service and ambience. Loved it.

On a solo trip working remote I needed a break from classic British fare and found this spot - they have an amazing selection of small seafood dishes - it’s sometimes hard to find a comfortable spot to eat alone but the wine, food (Crab salad! Mussels! Broccoli! ) and service were phenomenal. Will absolutely be back!
