About The Lobster Pot
A tiny place about which much has been written and all of it intriguing - ranging from alarmed descriptions of the kitsch nautical decor, surreal recordings of seagulls and ocean waves to the highest praise for the genuinely French cooking. Fish and seafood are the thing, with a few offerings for unrepentant carnivores. The bouillabaisse is reckoned a triumph by those who know, as is the plateau de fruits de mer. Lots of couples, a few government types as it's within the Division Bell. Le patron mange ici. Go and cast yourself adrift in oceans of seafood.
What's cooking?
For starters we particularly enjoyed the fresh mussels with garlic, tomato and cream sauce and the grilled prawns with homemade garlic butter followed by the grilled fillet of tuna and the seabass with a cream, pernod and wild mushroom sauce. For dessert the pancakes are a must - believe me!!
Please note that the restaurant will only hold your table for 15 minutes - unless made aware of delay...
Opening hours:

A very local restaurant serving anything but local food. The French owners (all from the same family) provide a real French experience with a dash of the English seaside shipped in (along with the sound of sea birds played through the audio system). We had both fish (their speciality) and red meat in our tasting menu and all were cooked excellently. The main menu all sounded really good. If you want a bit of drama go for the flambéed lobster! A very good place to go when south of the river.Review
You must go into the Lobster Pot, the outside does no justice to the food and service inside. Small cosy and friendly atmosphere. Food excellentReview
I had a great experience dining in Lobster Pot. When you walk into the restaurant, the first thing you notice is the sound of seagulls and the deco makes you feel like walking into the inside of a ship. For people that have a good appetite, you should try one of the 8 courses tasting menu; I personally think they are better value-for-money than ordering separate dishes. One thing though, be prepared that the meal is going to be quite expensive, but it is perfect for a special evening.Visitors
