    We arrived early as it was a very cold day but we’re happily able to have lunch a little earlier. The twice baked lobster and cheese souffle was delicious, in a very tasty sauce with some crunchy toppings to add texture. Our main course was pan fried turbot with fondant potato, broccoli and mangetout. The fish was beautifully cooked and the green vegetables perfectly al dente. Unfortunately we were driving so unable to sample the wine list. This was a pity as there were some very interesting quality wines on the list. This certainly is an excellent restaurant for a good selection of lovely fresh fish.

    We always try to go to The Potted Lobster two or three times a year as the food has always been exceptional. The service has always been excellent, and it was again on our latest visit. We’re already looking forward to going again.

    As always a fantastic meal with great staff. Early today after a walk and to our surprise fish & chips for £10. I never usually go for offers as some restaurants do not deliver to the same quality - not here - fantastic.

    Fantastic meal with friends. Really friendly staff,.who made a fuss of the dogs.too. Food was amazing, the Shetland mussles were huge and the halibut was exquisite. The sea bass was said to be nice but a tad salty and the plaice was good too. No problem changing the veg for salad. We didn't have enough room for pudding. We will definitely be back.
