The Lobster Pod Bistro in South Hams

Absolutely stunning views , fantastic food and brilliant service . There's nothing not to love about this place . It was our first visit and we will definitely be returning when we are next in the area .

Finally got the chance to dine here when quite, had the seafood platter for two. Tasty food, good service and of course amazing seaside view! Definitely recommend, and book in advance if you don't want to be disappointed.

This is a fantastic place to eat and if you can get a pod it is even better. The service was fantastic, the view amazing and the food incredible.

Very happy with the service! It's what makes it- that and great food- such reasonable value too. Great find + a unique experience... it's worth the trip over even if you're not super local.

Amazing views. Great service. Great food which was well cooked, fantastically presented and tasted gorgeous

Absolutely great. Fab service. Fab views. Fab food. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back next time we're in the area

Great location, nice food but can be looked after betterThis place looks very promising from the pictures. Indeed, the pods concept is brilliant as it can get very windy in this place. The view is breathtaking.The staff were very friendly and cheerful although it was difficult to get hold of them - we waited around 20-30 mins to pay for the bill and ended up paying at the till instead. However, they mentioned that the restaurant was understaffed when we arrived, so maybe it is not the norm.The portions were very large. We took fish and chips, soup and a salad, and could barely start the latter. The fish was fresh, the artichoke salad was well balanced. The food is definitely good value for money.For me, this place dropped two starts because the pods were not well maintained. When a place has something special that people come to see, it should be cherished and cared for - it did not come across this way. The windows were not clean and full of scratches. It was not pleasant to look through them. The cracks in the pod were full on dirt. The waiters had to put food on plastic chairs as they opened the door to the pod.I really hope that the management turns this place around - it is full of potential and just needs a bit better maintenance.

A wonderful place. The food was excellent as was the service. I had seabass , and a full one.. two fillets with chips and salad and my partner had Hake with salad and boiling potatoes in skins. We had a " pod" with excellent views over HOPE COVE . The pod can seat 6 in comfort . We got shown how to connect the Bluetooth system to our phone so we could plug our own music by young Ethan ( good luck on your future ventures Ethan). The staff were very attentive but not overpowering.All in all an excellent experience thanks to Helen and her staff. Will definitely be back with friends and family.

Just been to this place for my birthday:At first I was a bit apprehensive about giving my card details for reservation of one of the pods and receiving a note to say that if you didn't show up or give more than 24 hours notice for cancellation you'd be charged £25 per head (£150 in my case). But fortunately all went ahead as planned and turned out to be a really great experience! Heating and Bluetooth speakers in the pods are a really nice addition, very cosy and can order without having to leave your pod, views are awesome! Portions were brilliant much better than any other place I've been to by the sea. I had been reading that this place was overpriced and the food not good, however I disagree, although it's not gourmet - I wasn't expecting that - but overall for the price I think the quality was reasonable... But the setting and the service were top class especially for winter time. The assistant manager Ben is a great guy and looked after us well. Would visit again! Thanks

We were really looking forward to our visit but left rather disappointed. The waiting staff were very good but I ordered a pulled brisket burger with bacon etc and it was practically inedible. I could have soled my shoes with the bacon.The jumbo fish fingers which we expected to look home made and a bit rustic just looked like a larger version of supermarket frozen ones. Some of the chips were also undercooked. All in all not great and not exactly value for money .
