Black Lobster — Restaurant in England

We stayed in Hayle for a week and were regular visitors to the Asda superstore, and couldn’t help noticing the Black Lobster shack next to the Asda car park. It’s not as bad a location as it sounds, as on the other side of the shack you have views over the waters of Hayle estuary. On a sunny day, it’s actually quite a pleasant spot to sit, but there is no protection from the elements (outdoor bench seating only).

We visited for a late lunch one afternoon. Our group of 4 tried the fish tacos, soft shell crab burger, halloumi wrap and fries. The food was excellent, the seafood in particular was very well prepared. Service was very slow however, and the one person doing the cooking seemed to be struggling to keep up with the orders, even though there were very few customers there at the time. Anyhow, we were not in a rush, and the food was worth the wait!

Note that food is only served during the daytime, in the evening the food service moves over to Harry’s Bodega which is a restaurant a few min away, offering a similar but...

Calling my friends review juvenile is ironic when as a business owner you chose to lose out on potentially £50 of revenue because you approached with hostility immaturity and a lack of care or reasoning

I brought my own food due to allergies, my brother and his partner had no food and when you approached were in the middle of reading the menu, probably about to purchase as they had read reviews before coming. (Hence I grabbed food from Asda).

Next time rather than approaching in a negative manor perhaps find out the facts first, because ultimately, we still ate just off from the benches, heard your live band and you lost out on £50+ and ended up with 2 negative reviews.

Before you respond questioning why I didn’t state these facts about my allergies, it’s simply because you didn’t allow me any chance, I began telling you I was looking to buy a drink for myself as I was the one you were questioning, however, that wasn’t good enough, you said you required customers to buy...

After reading reviews I thought give this place a whirl . Wish I hadn’t bothered within 15 mins of opening while stud in a line of 4 people waiting to be served she had run out of lobster !! ,so we opted for the dirty fries with blackened prawns (they were just standard king prawns with seasoning) and the crab taco she said 25 mins wait thought fine not a problem fresh food takes time to cook after 45 mins of waiting we still hadn’t got our order nor had the couple in front of us , when the food finally came it wasn’t even worth the wait . the so called dirty fries was just a spicy slaw with 4 prawns what was just standard king prawns not blackened any way shape or form the crab taco was pathetic tiny little thing hadn’t even seen crab if it tried again just more slaw the price I’d of expected more oh and no fork to eat it with or napkins to wipe your hands with or after . It could of been a little gem and a gold mine but it just seems like the...
