“ We visited The Crab And Lobster Inn for dinner this week and what an amazing dinner it was! Firstly we were warmly welcomed by Phil, who is lovely, down to earth and does everything he can to make your experience a pleasure. We had starters, mains and desert and all were delicious, one of the best pies I've had on the island. Service was smooth and quick, they have two open fires and a large decked area over looking the sea which will be great in the summer. I highly recommend and will be back! ”
“ Lovely setting and lovely inside. Patio outside has great sea views and right in the sea front. Went with my toddler and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Good choice of beer (2 local ales on) and food was nice. I would have liked more sea food options given the nature of the inn, no lobster on the menu but I did have a crab linguine. Free parking for patrons, but not loads of spaces. Overall very pleasant experience. ”
“ The food at the crab and lobster was amazing. You could tell it was home made and not just a reheat jobby. They only source their food from the local area, so it is fantastic quality. We had a Sunday roast. The meat was so tender and it was the perfect portion size. We decided to go again later in the week and had the seafood linguine and the fish and chips, and once again, they didn't disappoint! The quality was amazing. So fresh and the fish was huge! The staff at the crab and lobster were so welcoming, friendly and attentive throughout our whole experience. Especially the gentleman who welcomed us at the door. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Such a great experience. Thank you! We will definitely be returning. ”
“ Visited here last night. Received a very warm welcome from Phil the manager and Bruce. We had booked ahead and explained that we had two dogs with us. The dogs got as warmer a welcome as we did. Nothing was too much trouble and Phil picked a table with plenty of room for the dogs, which was great. The food was very good, if a little pricey but the whole experience was worth the money. It being end of February it wasn’t too busy but I would think this little gem would be jumping during the summer season so I would book ahead. The decor was quirky which added to a great atmosphere. All in all it was a lovely experience and we will definitely come again. ”
“ What a little gem! Food was amazing, owner accommodated a table for 8 at short notice but I think we were lucky. Phone calls and walk ins constantly so I’d recommend booking early. Great location and views. Can only imagine how great this place is on a lovely summers day! ”
“ Phil and Mia served us, they were very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty and the local beer was especially good. Will definitely be visiting again. ”
