We came for lunch with our toddler and pup for my partners birthday last week. The food was beautiful (we had lobster thermador mains with salad and chips), my son loved his meal and the staff were very friendly and efficient.

Great spot for a lunch or a casual dinner.There’s nothing mind blowing about it, but the execution is good and the atmosphere is nice.The team could be more attentive and we found it disappointing that they won’t serve draft beer, especially in an open air venue in the British summer.

Great food, lovely staff, beautiful scenery

We have been about 4 times now and every time has been great. The staff are really friendly and attentive. We just left having both had the beef stew - it was so good and I can’t stop thinking about the dumplings. It was perfectly seasoned and the beef fell apart. Location is beautiful and there are nice little touches about the place. Their infused chase gin and tonic was a really lush idea and tasted lovely.I really can’t understand why this place doesn’t have 5*. Looking through past reviews people have given well deserved praise and then whacked a 4* in. Very odd! Perhaps they’ve never worked in the industry and understand how valued positive feedback is. Wish these guys all the best, they’re a happy and helpful bunch. We will be back, lots!I would have taken a photo but I shoved it in my gob too quickly.Love from Jo, Ben and the Dog 🐕 xxx

An outstanding lunch at The Lobster Shed. We both had the Fish and Lobster Stew, which was absolutely fantastic. Served with huge hunks of Coombeshead Farm bread to mop up the fabulous sauce. Pudding and cheese were equally as good.The team were absolutely great and service was perfect.It was chilly outside, but there were plenty of heaters inside to keep everyone snug.I can't recommend it highly enough.We'll be back!!

Settings in a lovely spot, however I'd say the food is overpriced for what you get. Steak cold after 2 min of arriving with a basic green salad. Small portions on starters service not the best and service charge added to the bill .. drinks forgotten .. won't be heading back, shame as it could be a real great spot .

Excellent food and very nice staff in a lovely semi outdoor setting. The surf and turf was awesome :)

Beautiful! The freshness, food, service is all what you'd expect from The Pig team and thus lobster shack. Fresh shell-on prawns and pickled muscles were superb. The whole classic lobster with exquisite chips and foraged butter was outstanding. Well worth a visit and highly recommended.

I think the current 3.6 is about right. Visually lovely. Service ranges from definite 5 (when asked what £18 worth of Wood Roasted Broccoli brings you the answer made me, a certified carnivore, salivate mildly) to a 1 (dishes dropped down in front of you whilst looking elsewhere.)It’s a place of contrast right now and obviously these are difficult times hence the 4 rather than 3 - 3 would have been unfair on this experience. Arguably the best tasting rump steak I’ve had in a long while but served luke warm with a single piece of lettuce.The fact that it’s 3.6 not 3.5 at time of writing is right - this is a good place to dine so don’t be put off. I have faith in The Pig team to continue to build the place up. I’d certainly go back tomorrow and especially when things are more normal, but I’d expect the creases to be ironed out by then too.As it is - for right now - it was great and we were treated to a beautiful sunset to boot.

Was very surprised how easy to eat the lobster was (was also very tasty!). The setup outside is nice and the service was ok.
