The Fat Crab in Sutton

Been wanting to visit here for a while, was not disappointed. Small restaurant so we booked in advance, menu very simple to order from. I recommend the whole shabang for the flavour. Very good quantity and quality, price obviously is a little high but that reflects the food on offer! Woild deof recommend for whole family, as you use your hands kids will love it they supply appron but still can get messy!

Lovely restaurant,😁 friendly staff,and the food was nice but small portions but that's OK it's seafood 😋 🦀 would definitely go again 👍😁

A messy meal well contained in the bags and on the tablecloths with plenty of napkins. No knife or fork provided but you could ask for one if needed.Really good food- Blue swimmer crab in the garlic butter sauce medium hot.- Half pound of prawns in lemon pepper sauce medium hot (our favourite of the two), a side of corn and a handful of clams where in this bag also.- A bowl of cajun fries.Service was really good with one lady running service on her own even with a full house!

Adore the Fat Crab...a whole new experience. Went with friends ..who were all first timers bar two. Everyone raced about the food, place and atmosphere...Will go again and again and again....Too Good!

STOP WAIT PAUSE HOLDON, WAIT A MINUTE!!!These five stars are because I believe in second chances. However, this review has been written days after my visit because of how enraged I was after my visit. My girlfriend summed the visit up best “if this was a first date, delete my number”. So I’m going to rate individual issues out of 0/10 and then provide a description.Customer service- -1/10The greeting was none existent.Waitress was not trained at all, we asked minimal information which she didn’t know.Utensils/condiments were not provided until way too late 😂 I’m laughing but if you’ve ever eaten crab on a hungry stomach with no napkins, it gets messy really quick.Food- 6/10We ordered a wide range of items from the menu. The prawns were lovely. The fried oysters were nice. The quality of the lobster ruined the meal, tasted like some Iceland frozen lobster 🤣 I’m laughing still because for the price It’s crazy.Alcohol- 0/10Why? Please why don’t you serve a wider selection of alcohol? It’s just a waste.Presentation(food)- 0/10None absolutely none. This trip was crazy. The food comes in a bag. A literal bag. The bags you carry goldfish home with 🤣 #truestory. And we wanted separate extras and all the extras were stuffed in one lobster bag, which is a challenge when you don’t have a bowl 😂 . They are also were cheap on the tissue, it’s a nightmare.Value for money- 3/10So a meal for two with no hard alcohol cost £93. I left a tip because the waitress can’t be blamed for her role in all of this. You are sitting on a GOLD MINE,don’t screw it up. I traveled almost an hour to be disappointed.Beautiful location but just a waste. I’ll be back or maybe try another location.

Food was ok, our lobster and crab were overcooked so the texture was a bit tough. The prawns were lovely though.Customer service was average. One waitress was friendly and the other just didn't want to be there.Will be a while before we go back.

This was my first venture for a seafood boil. I chose the prawns with a side of corn on the cobs. They were both appetising in the bag of 'full shebang' sauce. Fries also complimented the dish extremely well.The meal is a messy affair so don't wear your best clothes and use the bib they provide!

Recommend the experience of some nice seafood and getting your hands messy. We had the lobster feast for two and was nice a filling amount. The lobster was tasty and chips were crispy.Tips:-Suggest booking prior to heading in; venue is cosy.-don’t wear white shirts (there is cover, though as a precaution).-free parking: there are roads either side of the restaurants and shops strip (the left and right ones, they are residential, so be mindful to be considerate when parking).

I've never seen or heard of a restaurant like this in UK where the seafood is not stone cold/ deep fried/ or flesh only. Think Nando's where you order your chicken then pick your sides, spice level and sauce, but with shellfish. My seafood connoisseur (aka my mum) approves. It's messy and it's expensive, so won't be coming back any time soon but love the place and will come back eventually. Its a special treat place rather than a regular haunt. Highly recommended.

Food was awesome and fabulous (or should I say crab-ulous?!!!). We ordered lobster, prawns, and crabs. You can order them either plain or drenched in yummy sauces like Cajun, garlic and butter, and lemon and pepper. The owner was really nice and friendly and she patiently explained each seafood / shellfish to us. Super helpful when making such a difficult choice! We also ordered the calamari as starter and it was perfectly cooked. Everything is reasonably priced too. Will definitely go back again! Highly recommended!!
