    We loved all the food. Sharing plates is our favourite. The lobster and prawn aranchi was delicious. The buffalo mozzarella was really creamy and yummy and the chips with truffle and Parmesan are to die for.

    Fantastic food to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday with our family. Great service, superb wine selection and friendly service. Wine advice was helpful and the chef also came out with some of our food for a chat.We would highly recommend the Lazy Lobster for just drinks or food, well done to all of the staff. Nick.

    Seriously impressed with this place. Some of the nicest food I have had. Ever! Really glad we booked. Knocks socks off similar central London spots, and a lot cheaper. Especially with the 20% discount for February!

    A lovely place to visit set back slightly from the street. It was very quiet when we arrived but even with more people in it, the noise wasn't overpowering. The food was amazing and we loved the fact it was a sharing menu also as you felt inclined to try something that you wouldn't normally try. We had Chargrilled Tiger Prawns with Miso Sauce and Oyster Mushroom Fritti . Having never eaten oyster before, the option to have just a single fried oyster was the ideal way to try an oyster .

    A great addition to the Whitstable food scene. Predominantly seafood sharing plates, all of those we tried we would gladly have again. I particularly enjoyed the chargrilled prawns served with a masala sauce which needs to be bottled and sold everywhere. Didn’t have room for the lobster bisque this time but will return as soon as we can to try it.
