    The food was enjoyable, though it did come out in a strange order. It didn’t spoil our enjoyment though.

    Wonderful meal, couldn’t fault any of the dishes. Standouts were the tiger prawns, mozzarella with leeks, deep fried oysters with gochujang mayo and prawn + lobster noodles. The staff were great and made it a lovely experience. Merry Christmas to everyone at The Lazy Lobster!

    Overpriced. Poor service. A pub trying to be upscale fish tapas. Shrimp and cod were both overcooked. Do not recommend.

    The menu on line is nothing to what you get. You order. Bits on the menu but nothing comes all together. Buy the time you get other bits the first lot is cold. It doesn’t s horrible. When I looked on line for the menu my mind was on a whole crab. No that’s not on the menu but some deep fried stuff horrible. You go thinking you are eating healthy. Further from the truth
