Review The Lobster Pot - Isle of Portland

A lovely welcoming place with a great menu variety to suite the whole family! The views are lovely here and worth sitting and taking them in while eating. A gift shop is incorporated within the restaurant with some nice gift ideas to take home with you.

Just what we needed after a bracing walk around Portland Bill. Lovely welcoming restaurant with attentive staff and great food. Fantastic views over the cliffs and Bay too.

The lobster pot When entering the warm and cosy feeling cafe we was greeted with smiles and offered different tables around the restaurant as we was a group of 4 adults and 2 kids. The lovely waitress seated us and we was given ample time to read the menus. We was then greeted by another waitress who took our orders with a smile and NO NOTEPAD. She had a tremendous memory for our order. We ordered 2x Kids fun lunch bag £9.50 each. It Ham/cheese/Tuna or Jam sandwich, crisps, fruit, yogurt, juice ( apple or orange), crayons and activity sheet. I ordered the Fresh crab sandwich with seeded batch bread and crisps £12.50. The crab was lovely and fresh and went well with the seeded bread was a perfect lunch option well worth the money and was served with a lovely little garnish 9/10. I also ordered the Whole tail scampi served with chips and peas £15.95. The scampi was absolutely delicious and well battered. The chips was a disappointment and there was only a few good chips and the rest was scraps and clumped together this was a shame. The peas was cooked well and complemented the dish 7/10. Pudding I ordered the stick toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream £6.50. This pudding was absolute heaven the portion was a very good dive and the ice cream was like Mr Whippy it was smooth and creamy. An easy 10/10. I ordered the Draught Cider 4.5 ABV 1/2 pint £2.95 and Pint £5.75. This cider had a crisp apple taste but was a little on the dry side of ciders. It would be nice to know the brand of cider and offer more ciders.

Lovely restaurant looking out to the sea. Nice food range/ variety and prices reasonable. Nice portion size and staff lovely and friendly. Would recommend.

Stopped for a afternoon cream team. Excellent service from friendly helpful staff, lovely cafe with beautiful 'tourist' shop. The cream teas was delicious and great value, spotlessly clean and modern. The views of the sea are just amazing. Look forward to visiting again soon

Lovely place, limited menu, very friendly staff and amazing views, overpriced in my opinion £60 for lunch for 2 adults one child

Was not bad the sandwiches for children was so overpriced £9.50 and it was basic. It should be half the price. Considering kids Meals were £10.50 with dessert. The burger was fine the crab as a salad was ok. I understand these being a bit pricey because of the location etc..

Lovely visit to the Lobster Pot. Team were able to find a table for 5 of us, service was brilliant and the food, particularly the bacon, was spot on. Lovely view as well.

Me and my family went here for some breakfast this morning and the food was lush, the employees were lovely and very attentive and patient. The toilets were nice and clean which is always a bonus, and we also spent some money in the gift shop loads of Portland items and gemstones. Amazing experience will definitely be going again.

Lovely views of the ocean. I enjoyed a big English breakfast. I wouldn't recommend the latte however I enjoyed the pot of tea made on real tea leaves. All considered, a very pleasant experience.

Very busy cafe and you may need to wait to be seated, especially at lunchtime. Views are over the sea. Staff were polite, there's a shop and toilets.

Great little place at Portland bill . We had cream teas was fab . Will be back again . Amazing views too and fair prices for the location

Excellent Cream Tea Probably one of the nicest scones we have ever eaten. Unusually a square shape, still slightly warm, very soft almost like a light and fluffy sponge cake. Lashings of cream and a good jam too. Proper strong leaf tea. 🍵🫖

There should be more options for people who don't like alcohol in their food for various reasons. There is no other eating place in the area and we only had the choice to eat fish goujons. Loved the atmosphere, service and views. Lovely people and a lovely souvenir shop inside the restaurant.

Absolutely amazing. Came with my Nan for brunch after exploring Portland. Was greeted by a lovely lady who I assumed was the manager. And directed to our table. When we were served by a lovely lady who took our order and dealt with us til we finished. Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere

Had the famous crab sandwich and boy it didn't disappoint. Beautifully fresh and right balance of white and brown. Beautiful brown seeded bread too, needed to stand up to fab flavour of crab. So, so good!! We had chips too though these could have been better. The service was fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. There is also a little gift shop on site. Lovely place.

The most yummy crab sandwich, you just have to eat it quick before the seagulls steal it from you! Gorgeous views whilst dining too.

We always try to stop here when visiting weymouth. Friendly staff. Gets very busy. If you want to sit inside and know what time you will be arriving I suggest booking in advance. Scones are amazing. If you can't manage one while there get one to take home. The Southern fried chicken burger has 2 pieces of chicken in and is very filling. Our family loves the chips here. How the staff can take drink and food orders for tables of 6 without writing anything down and no mistakes is worth a visit to see on its own 🙂
