We visited for lunch on a Sunday. It is a tiny place seating just 20 covers or so. Our group of 4 adults and 2 young kids ordered some fried prawns and calamari to start, followed by 3 different “steamer bags” - the spider crab,...the local brown crab and a pound of prawns. We tried the lemon pepper fries, sweet potato fries and some rice as sides.
The food was very good. The sauces in the bags had good depth of flavour, and the spicier ones we tried did have a nice kick to them. The spider crab was a favourite as it had some large chunks of meat within the long legs. Another unexpected highlight was the lemon pepper fries. It is a very messy meal, but the restaurant embraces this, and doesn’t provide cutlery or plates for example (unless you request it), hence encouraging you to just dig in! Any cutlery or drinking cups provided are disposable, as is the paper tablecloth, so at the end of the meal the whole table surface gets rolled up and chucked away.
Service was decent. Presumably there was a time limit on the table, as we were hurried up ahead of ordering, and then the bill was brought without asking for it, just before the 2 hour mark. Not sure if they have dessert as it wasn’t offered, but from the website it seems only ice cream is on offer.
The bill for our group came to a very reasonable £128 excluding drinks (we brought our own wine). Overall this was a very enjoyable lunch, and a differentiated seafood concept with the focus on cooking and serving the food in a steamer bag. It’s quite a long journey from where I live, but I hope to return sometime.More
