The Lobster Pot in Isle of Anglesey

I Have not been for about three years and it was an anniversary dinner for my cousin . I don't know if its change hands ,but it was terrible . the wine we ordered of the menu was not available but no-one told us that they just brougt a bottle which was disgusting which they did replace . I had Lobster thremdor it wasn't endible all are food was loop warm ,and the tables every thing stuck to them . we live localy and will never go there again . to sum it up overrated and over priced .

We have visited the Lobster Pot for many years and have always enjoyed the great food and atmosphere. With such a highly priced and small menu everything should be cooked and served to perfection. It was nice but not worth the prices being charged.Mussels were lacking flavour- had better and larger portion elsewhere the night before. Limp salad. We won't be visiting again

Very, very disappointed as visiting the Lobster Pot on our regular Anglesey holidays is normally a real highlight. Unfortunately after visiting last Thursday, the last night of our week’s holiday, we had a poor experience which is probably the first time in numerous visits. Scallops for starters and you could taste the butter had burnt. The lobster was at best average, part very chewy but Thermidor sauce very sparing and nowhere as tasty as normal. Unfortunately the quality of the food, cooking and service was severely lacking this time. I told the waiter and the response was ‘sorry about that’! We didn’t want to spoil our own holiday so we have put it down to experience and moved on. The standard set by Catch 22 have overtaken the Lobster Pot, shame but hopefully this was just a blip. I did try to feedback directly but was unsuccessful.

A nice old fashioned feel comes from the lobster pot which manifests itself in some really excellent seafood and steak. We can recommend the usual Lobster which was lovely but we really enjoyed the whitebait. The food wash nicely priced and I really enjoyed my first visit.

Very good seafood restaurant, excellent holiday dining. Amongst us we chose mackerel & crab salad starters then lobster, luscious desserts & a cocktail. We asked if somehow we could bring our well behaved dogs as it was a bit too chilly to eat outside & we were accommodated in the conservatory with them. The staff were all friendly, & professional & went that bit extra. The food was fresh, beautifully presented & as described. I really can't relate at all to some of the negative comments below. I have eaten at far more expensive seafood restaurants elsewhere and not had such good food. Bear in mind this is not so called 'fine dining' it is quality food for the tourist market on this beautiful island & we all thought we got good value.

Very disappointing visit, for a lot of money. The staff were slow to take orders and supply the food. They knew very little about what the meals included, what made up the mocktails, and what flavours of ice cream and sorbet there were. The menus were on tatty pieces of paper - and the prices on them were not what we were charged. The place wasn't very welcoming and, despite not being particularly busy, everything seemed to take ages. I won't be going back, which is a real shame as we really pushed the boat out financially for a special evening. You live and learn, I guess.

Horrid experience. We had booked a month ahead and arrived 20min before their opening time so we went to the Church bay beach. They opened at 17:00 and gave us a call at 17:10 that they are cancelling our booking because we were not on time. This in a place where there are no phone signals, so it had gone to voice message. We tried to call back, and were heading back up at that point but they refused to accomodate. The family run, laid back place that it used to be was one of our favourite places when we lived in North Wales. Never going back there again. We were then informed by a friend that there was a change of management :(

Absolutely awesome meal from start to finish. Food was excellently cooked, seasoned and presented. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We will absolutely be back as this meal has had a profound affect on our tastebuds !!!… well done to all the kitchen staff and waiting staff … seriously impressed !!!! ❤️

I have eaten here on a number of occasions when on Anglesey. Initially, front of house was poor but could be overlooked as the food was exceptional! There was a change of ownership, the premises were refurbished and the new ownership improved front of house and the standard of the food was maintained. There seems to have been another change of ownership/management and now front of house has relapsed and the food is not quite so good and prices have increased while portion sizes have shrunk. Spending a lot of money for something that is really enjoyable is extravagant, if you don’t enjoy it it becomes expensive this is the case here! Won’t be in any rush to return as there’s better value elsewhere on the island!

Not worth the money, visited on a Friday night , one of our party was a vegetarian, understandably it’s a fish restaurant but offered no starter and only a veg burger as a main course , portion size was disappointing fries portion same as a child’s , for nearly £40 for a main lobster and chips there’s was hardly any salad accompaniment on plate , dessert was limited written on a notepad , after rave reviews from friends was totally disappointed !, would not recommend

Awful food and ridiculously overpriced. My family and I visited for dinner and were so disappointed. The service was okay but disorganised and simple things we asked for were forgotten about. My wife had the penang curry with prawns and it was shocking. It tasted like curry powder and water and the vegetables in it were clearly frozen veg that consisted of sweetcorn, peas and cauliflower and the prawns were like rubber. For nearly £20 it was vile!! The kids could have made a curry better than that!! The setting is so beautiful and they could do so much more with the place. It honestly isn’t worth a visit and I believe they are putting the prices up again. Daylight robbery!

I cannot recommend enough!! We have visited this restaurant on many occasions in the past. But the 1st time with the new owners. They have certainly rose to the challenge, and raised the bar I believe. Ceri the owner couldn’t have been more welcoming, and the ambience of the place remains cosy and spotless, with four legged friends also given a warm welcome. Great selection of local beers, which delighted my husband. Ceri recommended the local “tap room” where the ales are brewed ( separate review on TA) which we duly noted and visited on Saturday, and enjoyed immensely. The menu in the Lobster Pot, restaurant remains as good as ever. Abundant with local produce. Our meals were cooked to perfection, fresh and delicious. Service was top notch and we were made to feel very welcome and spoilt to be honest. We highly recommend you visit and sample their beautiful food and drinks. I can only see them going from strength to strength with this business, as they truly embrace the “family business model” I recommend the lobster mornay, exquisite. Well done to Ceri and her Team and hope to see you again soon.

Aside from the fantastic service from the young waiter, the food was ridiculously overpriced for poor quality food. Meals came out at different times and food not fresh, some of it cold and parts of it very inedible. A great amount of the menu also wasn’t available to order.

A lovely clean place .in a beautiful setting ... The best thing about ir was the young lad who looked after us . The burger and chips we had was awful ... very disappointing to say the least ! We had to queue outside as the door was locked on arrival , it was cold in there , heating switched on only when we got in , sat in our coats up until food arrived . Will not be going back which is a shame as we live locally .

Lovely location with great service and food. We came especially for the Lobster and were not disappointed. The restaurant was quite to start but filled up quickly.

Found this place a few miles from where we were stopping this week. It was fairly quiet midweek and we ordered the prawn salad (£19) and grilled lobster (£37). Both were delicious but quite pricey. The prawn salad had about a million prawns on it so I was lucky enough the eat up what my wife couldn’t finish. The lobster was quite a good size. Drinks were quite expensive. Overall, lobster, salad, pint of beer and a large wine cost sixty eight quid! The staff were welcoming. I can imagine that it gets absolutely rammed at weekends and during the holiday months but worth a visit if you are happy and able to pay the quote high prices.

Lovely location. Staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. Mussels in white wine sauce 👌lobster Thermidor delicious. So much so we are bringing family in 2 weeks time . Can’t wait 😝

We went to the lobster pot cafe in the evening. We had a wonderful meal, starters great and the main meal was fantastic. The oysters were lovely and the lobster was yummy, plus the cost was so so cheap

What a fabulous restaurant! The location right on Church Bay is perfect and we had a great view from our window table as the sun set. We had the lobster thermidor and sirloin steak, both cooked to perfection and great value for some first-class food. Was recommended a bottled blonde ale, brewed in Holyhead and it was excellent. Staff very lovely, would very much recommend it!

Very Nice food, I had a Lobster Dish, while my wife had the Lamb Shank, but be warned, they dont have any Mint sauce (haha), we also had a very nice desert, make sure to Booked, as we came on a Thursday, and was very busy, also check when they are open' little pricey but worth it

Food nice, atmosphere in conservatory terrible like a brightly lit canteen with a sad rubber plant, lightweight cheap cutlery, slow service, awful looking supermarkey wine glass to go with £40 bottle of wine and the diet coke came in a naff glass no ice or lemon, butter not even in a dish just wrapped and rock solid water marked table, cheap grey bit of linen on table, I wish I had read previous reviews the place is surviving on past reputation and needs some tlc in terms of atmosphere and presentation if it wants to stay on its game. If your looking for a special night I wouldn't bother. Food nice but nothing to make the place particulary special anymore

My parents visited & didn't want to leave a negative review but I felt their review should be shared. They have memories of this restaurant in its hay day which are great memories. That says it all. It's past its hay day. Uncomfortable chairs, old furniture & decor left an uncomfortable impression. My Dad's exact words were if I was asked to give marks out of 10, I'd struggle to give it 5. It needs some attention to outdated decor & furnishings. Cleanliness wasn't top drawer. The dead fly didn't help. The food was OK ( just ok). But you could have lobster in other venues not far away & probably have a better overall experience.

Our first visit to the lobster pot was excellent. We had booked a table for two including our small dog “Pablo the pug”. The reservation system worked perfectly. The table we had in the conservatory offered meant we enjoyed the sunset as we ate. Service was excellent as our drinks arrived early and order taken. The were some items not available, but fully understand the change of menu as the holiday season winds down. Starters of seared scallops and prawn cocktail were beautiful. The mains of lobster risotto and Anglesey platter were also excellent. I made school boy error and had prawn over load as the platter of lobster, crab and prawns was plentiful. As with all these things mixed reviews based on personal preference and perceptions, all I can say is we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Absolutely beautiful meal this evening. The calamari & scallops were stunning followed by grilled lobster. The service was great. A relaxed evening in a stunning setting. No frills just damn good food. This is not a cheap quick fix restaurant you get what you pay for and that’s fresh tasty food served well. Thank you & yes we will be back 🦞🦀🦑🦐

Four of us went and every meal was perfectly cooked and delicious. Scallop mornay, Lobster Thermidor, fillet steak, prawn salad Everyone enjoyed .

The location excellent and serving staff very good / felt a might pricey for the dishes selected but all good and enjoyed . My query is why are the sandwiches enclosed in a piece of very large baguette difficult to eat maybe a smaller version of bread available / Just a thought

We chose the Lobster Pot for a family meal and what a lovely evening it turned out to be for all. We had a mixture of adults and young children but the staff at the Lobster Pot could not be more accommodating to our requests. The meals were fabulous and the service brilliant. I cannot recommend the Lobster Pot highly enough and we will definitely be visiting the Lobster Pot again in the future.

Very attentive and caring staff. I have sensory issues and they were so kind to find me a table in a nicely lit and quieter room. I was also able to alter my dish a little to suit my dietary needs. The hake and the new potatoes were splendid. Just like mum used to make Overall it was a really nice relaxing, friendly healthy, wholesome meal. Thank you very much.

Lovely, helpful staff, and the pineapple IPA from Caergybi was cracking, but otherwise such a disappointing meal. The menu looked delicious, but portions were really small and nothing special. Such a shame as the restaurant’s in a very special spot and could be great, but...

Very disappointing to say the least. Lack of a fish delivery meant so much was off the menu; what was available was average to say the least. For 3 starters & a fish sandwich and two pints of lager the cost was over £56.00. Really...

So disappointed. We’ve been visiting The Lobster Pot for the last 25 yrs, but won’t be coming back - end of an era! Firstly, the chairs are most uncomfortable. Our scallop starters were good and the best part of the meal, let down by the...

Food not good at all. Their waiters are young kids. Muscles gritty. Lobster chewy and prawn sandwiches terrible. They need to sort themselves out. How about a new chef.

Meal for 5 ,Staff and service was great food was ok however. I grew up on Anglesey and the lobster pot was always spoken about as being 1 of the best restaurants on Anglesey ,Like I said food was OK however there is zero atmosphere...

We visited this restaurant for a special occasion and was very disappointed, no crab available from the menu and the lobster was small and overcooked. Given the price you’d expect a lot more, won’t be back!!

Firstly I love this restaurant and have visited several times, but this is the second time I have left feeling frustrated and disappointed. For the second time no oysters were available, even this time we booked a table for 18:30 in the hope oysters would...

Brilliant place, friendly staff and delicious food! Grilled lobsters with garlic butter sauce was amazing! Steamed mussels great!

Fantastic meal this evening (30.08.23) at the Lobster Pot. Staff went above and beyond to ensure allergens were catered for and kept checking in on if we needed anything at all. Starters, mains and deserts all amazing and good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Superb lobster meal. I don’t understand all the bad reviews here. We received a fantastic welcome upon arrival. We sat outside under a covered terrace with our dog (there are a few dog friendly tables inside but we had booked too late). It was beautiful....

DISAPPOINTING, POOR STANDARD OF FOOD, POOR SERVICE !!!!! Starters Crab cakes with bits of shell, Scallops, 3 very small items in one shell, HAD TO ASK FOR KNIVES AND FORKS. Mains, Anglesey platter, Half an under sized lobster, one ver small claw, 3 SMALL WARM...

Service terrible! Upon arrival I went to the bar to check which our table was only to be ignored by 3 members of staff for 3-4 minutes just talking. Was shown to the table and order taken. Tried to order a bottle of wine but...

I love crab so chose the crab fishcakes for starters. Amazingly good. A light salad was with it with an fantastic dressing. I had to have crab as a main too. Wow so glad I did. Followed by a cappuccino and a glass of port....

As a frequent visitor to Anglesey, I’ve been wanting to visit The Lobster Pot restaurant for years but have never quite made it there. So I decided that as I was having a “significant” birthday this year we would definitely go. I’d read some poor...

On arrival we were greated by one of the owners who was very welcoming. She advised us we'd be sitting in the conservatory. Sounded lovely until we went in and realised it was more of a porch with two tables in it. I'd booked 3...

We went to the lobster pot with friends who had great expectations. However, we were once again very disappointed with the food. The lobster was tough, and the Thermidor sauce was tasteless and had obviously been burnt as it tasted burnt. This was our third...

Hyggelig pub med lækker fiskeretter og skønne burgere Sød venlig betjening, som aldrig tabte overblikket selvom de havde vanvittigt travlt...

I went to this restaurant on a Friday night and I just felt underwhelmed by everything. The menu felt disappointing and the atmosphere was non-existent (we could hear the radio). The food itself was “nice” but not worth the price. I feel like this restaurant...

Much the same as other negative reviews on here Very overpriced for average seafood. Service ok No atmosphere Underwhelming What was a very highly anticipated meal we were left disappointed. Save yourself the bother and go to one of the other much nicer restaurants with...

Went for a family 80th. Welcome ok. Room lacked atmosphere and had a few flies. For starters, scallops in a mornay sauce were tasty . Soup (stilton and broccoli) on special was bland and very watery. Lobster meals very very expensive which we knew beforehand...

Omg! The food was amazing, the staff were perfect. We were so lucky to be able to book a table on the day, at 8.30pm for 2 people. The food was excellent, perfectly cooked, local produce, served by wonderful friendly staff. Thankyou. I had the...

First impressions weren’t great despite good friends recommending. The tables were sticky, the place mats were uneven, the wrong starter was brought to our table, the wine arrived already opened and the choice of beer was an English ale Doombar, despite many excellent local Welsh...

Lovely, fresh food that was a pleasure to eat. We enjoyed our crab cakes and scallops starters. The scallops were big and juicy. We followed with mussels and crab mornay. Both were very tasty and were served with fries and salad. We had mineral water...

Not even close to the standard it should be. Seevice; • Front of house manager late to service • flies in the main dining room, nothing done about it for the hour and a half we were there • Tables clearly been lacquered and then...

We had lunch at this lovely little restaurant in an exquisite setting overlooking Church Bay. The seafood was amazing and I would say is one of the best seafood meals I have ever had (and I have had many!). We had the special hot seafood...

Beautiful restaurant near the beach. Friendly welcoming staff and although the menu is not extensive there is something for everyone. Although there were some items on the menu that were unavailable the lobster choice was definitely a good one! Well presented and very tasty.

Booked for Lunch and despite arriving early were welcomed and treated very well . Only had a Lobster roll and crab sandwich, both were perfect and totally gorgeous. I can highly recommend this establishment.

Excellent food with amazing service if you like seafood this restaurant is a must. The view is also amazing and the extremely friendly staff are wonderful thank you Kerry

Service good. For starters we had crab cakes and cheesy garlic bread both were okay but nothing special We both had the hot seafood special. Crab was rubbery. Lobster small but tasty. At just under £30 a pop it would have been priced okay if...

We have never been to a restaurant specialising in Lobster so thought it would be an ideal place for a birthday meal while on Angelesy. On arrival we were asked to wait while they sorted a table out for us (we had booked) they asked...

When a supposedly specialist fish and seafood restaurant manages to produce such a travesty as was laid before us this evening, there is little or no point in complaining, Cluelessness cannot be remedied by apologies and offers of discounts, so we left quietly, vowing never...

This meal was a meant to be a holiday treat. We had the special, half lobster, crab claws, calamari rings, whitebait, chips and salad. The crab claws were dry, shrivelled and rubbery. The half lobster was so small I’d be surprised if it was legal....

Had some lovely food here - lobster and fish cakes were particularly good. Service wasn’t very attentive unfortunately- we had to wait 20 minutes for someone to take the drinks order (and the restaurant wasn’t even half full). Weren’t asked if we wanted any more...

Good service, but food not great. I ordered a full lobster and when it came it wasn't - no claws. I asked and was told "thats how they come". So not a full lobster then. Chips were decent. My Wife had crab risotto which was...

We were a party of 29 family and friends celebrating my 70th birthday on Saturday evening. We were well hosted by Ceri her brother and the Lobster Pot team. The menu was full of choices to satisfy children vegetarians and all other tastes including lobster...

Just had a beautiful lunch at The Lobster Pot. The place is absolutely spotless and in the most wonderful setting which is Church Bay. We arrived an hour early and asked if we could eat which wasn’t a problem for the lovely and friendly front...

Like many an Anglesey resident, we have a soft spot for the Lobster Pot , and see it as a bit of a treat to eat there. We haven't been since Covid, so expectations were high. A pleasant welcome, and a walk through the refurbished...

Wir würden es auf jeden Fall nicht empfehlen! Die Portionen sind ein schlechter Scherz, viel zu wenig für das was...

Superb experience overall and the food was amazing , lobster and crab were beautiful. Thanks very much. We will be back.

We had been recommended this place and decided to try it for lunch and we weren't disappointed. We were the first in and greated by a very lovely and enthusiastic front of house. I had the local oysters grilled with Welsh cheese followed by the...

We was really looking forward to this meal. Unfortunately it was terrible. The selection of drinks were very good, however the food was extremely disappointing. Starters: Garlic bread and cheese (veggie option) - £4.50 - 3 pieces of frozen garlic bread from Iceland with a...

The most spectacular food and setting . First time as I’ve heard so much about it and we were soooo impressed. Can’t wait to go back .

My husband and I have visited the Lobster Pot over a number of years. Local Gins available at the bar and good wine list for the restaurant. The restaurant serves excellent seafood and has an extensive menu. Attentive staff.

excellent quality food...loved my lobster.Staff were on point, attentive and knowledgable. Really enjoyed our lunch

So we rocked up on a very cool April evening to be greeted with cold radiators. As a result most of the guests kept their coats on , as did the staff who, clearly benefitting from local knowledge, were all wearing nice thick hoodies -...

Absolutely the most disappointing, unimaginative meal I would never wish to pay for. And when I complained, no one cared. If you like chips with everything and a bit of poorly seasoned or dressed fish, this is your place. I’ll not be back or recommending...

Leaving Anglesey after a beautiful week! We Visited last Saturday as a bit of a surprise, my partners friends had booked us for food and my word what a change since my last visit, the restaurant has been revamped and modernised (new flooring, more light...

I ordered Lobster Thermidor at £35.95 & my wife ordered a Dressed Crab Salad . My Lobster (only 4 pieces) was chewy like an elastic band ,not cooked properly and inedible.The sauce was also bland.I had to get up and find the waitress in the...

We were really looking forward to this meal but found it really quite disappointing. Prawn cocktail was average, lobster Thermidor consisted of around 4 forkfuls of lobster for £35! Desserts seemed to be shop bought and cremated in a microwave. Table was in a weird...

Our first time here after hearing so many amazing reviews and we were not disappointed. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble, the layout is spacious and airy and the food…… incredible. I always feel disappointed when chunky chips come out but...

We booked the Lobster Pot for our Wedding meal, with 3 friends. We have contacted The Lobster Pot to share our disappointment, but ultimately they did not really take on board our complaints and said we 'had not told them' it was our wedding, and...

I can only echo many other reviews. Service great, lovely staff. Starter disappointing, main even more so. Zero atmosphere. I asked where the lobster came from as I think they were farmed lobster, the answer I had was the lobster wholesaler next door! Such a...

Looking forward to eating here as part of a weekend away with friends. Service was fine, starters were excellent - mix of calamari and scallop dishes between us. 3 of us ordered the classic Lobster Thermidor - lobster was very small and the meat was...

We were a party of nine celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. A variety of ages and tastes were all catered for excellently we couldn’t fault the food and friendly staff. Thank you for a great evening

The crab cake starter was delicious, chips excellent, the steak was abysmal worst I have ever tasted, tough as old boots ( not that I’ve ever tasted old boots) Didn’t complain wasn’t worth it as the meal was ruined. Promised so much.

We visited here as a family of 6 and were not disappointed! Food was lovely, I had steak & lobster and the portions were huge and the food was delicious. Our waitresses were really friendly and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend!

I left a tip for the children serving because it felt like a Chinese sweat shop other than they were Welsh. Very uncomfortable, another guest mistook my son for a waiter and he is 15. The scallop starter was a cheese rue with bits of...

I recently visited the lobster pot while on holiday and can’t recommend it enough. The food was to die for! & the staff were very professional and accommodating to any needs. Thank you! Will definitely be returning! 😌

Went back to North Wales for a break and had to book The Lobster Pot. And as last October friendly staff, lovely relaxed atmosphere and a steak to die for, thank you chef.Thank you to all the staff at The Lobster Pot making memories 😀

I had crab cakes to start, surf and turf with a fillet stake and lobster for mains, and a pudding. The food was delicious - best steak I have had - it was cooked perfectly! Portions are very generous. The cocktails were great and the...

Back once again for Adam’s famous steak and lobster, beautifully cooked, portions were huge, perfect if you have a big appetite like myself! The cocktails were amazing by Ceri to complement the food, the staff in general were amazing. Beautiful tidy restaurant, the grounds are...

Been wanting to eat here for ages Oysters, sick the next day…probably them Lobster, tough with chips and a few salad leaves thrown on the plate Was going to be a special occasion….sadly not

We really wanted this meal to be good and I’m sorry to have to write a bad review. We’ve been before and the decor has improved slightly with the recent refurb which is positive. It’s still very hot in there and it’s strange to have...

Disappointing. I was so excited to visit on our last night, but the food let it down. Starters: I'd ordered grilled Oysters in garlic butter, but was given grilled oysters in Welsh cheese. I did not complain and was okay with their mistake. They were...

We went on Saturday night. My starter scollop mornay, and my husband’s Calamari, were perfect. We both had Lobster Thermidor. My husband had his with no cheese, which was no problem. We followed with a lemon tart which was homemade, and was beautiful. The Lobster...

Visited before so we had high expectations, booked for our New Year’s Eve celebrations whilst holidaying in the area. The food was very below average and several meals was inedible. We were a party of 8 plus a baby and only 1 was happy with...

After nearly two years we revisited and found the food was still as amazing as we remember from our last visit. It was a special occasion and it was worth every penny Lovely friendly staff

Arrived and was told cocktails is our speciality, only too be told, we don't do that one. Was then told you will have a share one menu between two. Lobster was the size of a large prawn. Was then told we don't do cheese and...

This place used to be fabulous, it is no where near what it used to be.poor service vastly overpriced for the quality of the food served.
