The Lobster Pot — Restaurant in Portland

The lobster pot

When entering the warm and cosy feeling cafe we was greeted with smiles and offered different tables around the restaurant as we was a group of 4 adults and 2 kids. The lovely waitress seated us and we was given ample time to read the menus.

We was then greeted by another waitress who took our orders with a smile and NO NOTEPAD. She had a tremendous memory for our order. We ordered 2x Kids fun lunch bag £9.50 each. It Ham/cheese/Tuna or Jam sandwich, crisps, fruit, yogurt, juice ( apple or orange), crayons and activity sheet.

I ordered the Fresh crab sandwich with seeded batch bread and crisps £12.50. The crab was lovely and fresh and went well with the seeded bread was a perfect lunch option well worth the money and was served with a lovely little garnish 9/10. I also ordered the Whole tail scampi served with chips and peas £15.95. The scampi was absolutely delicious and well battered. The chips was a disappointment and there was only a few good chips and the rest was scraps and clumped together this was a shame. The peas was cooked well and complemented the dish 7/10.

Pudding I ordered the stick toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream £6.50. This pudding was absolute heaven the portion was a very good dive and the ice cream was like Mr Whippy it was smooth and creamy. An easy 10/10.

I ordered the Draught Cider 4.5 ABV 1/2 pint £2.95 and Pint £5.75. This cider had a crisp apple taste but was a little on the dry side of ciders. It would be nice to know the brand of cider and offer...

Good service and even better food.

We stopped halfway along our walk around Portland, for lunch, and very much enjoyed our meal. We had a dog with us which was accommodated well - we were told they always wait for a table on the outside for dogs, which we felt was reasonable and we would have preferred that anyway, thinking that our dog wouldn't have settled if she'd been in the centre of the restaurant. We ordered the chicken burger, the haddock and chips, the salmon fillet, and the halloumi burger. We chose sides of either chips and salad. The chips were cooked to perfection, portion sizes were generous. The battered haddock particularly so - it came with 2 pieces of fish, and the chicken burger with 2 pieces of fried chicken. All the food was excellent.

For dessert, we had chocolate fudge cake, ice cream sundae, sticky toffee pudding, toffee and honeycomb cheesecake (a special), and Dorset apple cake, all of which were delicious.

Overall highly recommended, with excellent food and service, with 3/5 given for atmosphere due to the slightly chilly air conditioning and the loud environment due to lots of hard surfaces. The floor was also quite...
