   Today I had the best ever Sunday Roast. We chose the mixed roast & it was sensational. The chicken was the best chicken ever ... perfection. Deviously cook lamb, pork was succulent & yummy beef. The cauliflower was shockingly good and so were the roast potatoes. Can't wait to come again. Amazing work congratulations to the entire team.

   First trip to the Smoking Lobster and a lovely meal. Service was attentive and helpful. Water and drinks were swiftly provided and the food was lovely. New experiences and we enjoyed. I’m sure we will be back. Reasonably priced, although we went for a smaller offering that was recommended by the server.

    An absolutely outstanding meal. John, our server couldn’t have been helpful. We always opt for the traditional starter/main until John suggested we go Tapas style with the smaller dishes which enabled us to sample 6 or 7 varied plates accompanied by a glass of their excellent Albariño. It felt my culinary brain had been to the gym and done circuit training. Couldn’t fault anything.

    Hi Alan, Thank you for such a glowing review! We're delighted to hear that John's suggestion enhanced your experience and allowed you to explore a variety of flavours alongside a glass of our excellent Albariño! It sounds like a real feast for the senses. We're thrilled you couldn't fault anything and look forward to your next visit with us. Best, Smoking Lobster Team
