“ Amazing food! The staff were very friendly and courteous. They explained the menu and service was first class. The lobster noodle was our favourite dish but everything we tried was incredible. Very reasonable prices for the quality of food. We parked in Keams yard. ”
“ Christmas Eve tasting menu, what can I say... Amazing, perfect the culinary high of Christmas. Especially when accompanied by the wine tasting menu.. 8 different dishes, paired with 8 different glasses of "wine." I know this was the first time the Lazy Lobster had done a tasting menu and a brave thing to roll out on Christmas Eve. But they smashed it, the kitchen staff cooked ever dish to perfection, and the waiting staffs knowledge of the wines was incredible. Our highlight of Christmas. I better just add that this restaurant has started to become one of the main contenders in Whitstable, due to quality food, including small plates, a really good Sunday roast, a relaxed atmosphere, with knowledgeable friendly staff. Photos below are from the tasting menu, I missed 1 out, the scallops ”
“ Visited on a Sunday evening. Good atmosphere, lovely service and great food. We had cheese croquettes (delicious), scallops (good), tuna tartare (excellent) prawns in curry sauce (excellent, wanted to lick the plate, truffle chips (huge ) and stone bass (very good). The stone bass was more like a proper main course, the others were smaller. Waiter happy to advise as to how many dishes as some are larger than others. Lovely evening. There was a sign saying they were dog friendly too, which we didn't realise otherwise we would have brought ours along. ”
“ Exceptional food in a delightful spot in Whitstable. Amazing welcome and service from Nick the bar manager. Highly recommend but make sure you book as this is surely going to be deservingly popular! ”
“ We enjoyed a delicious and well priced Sunday lunch at Lazy Lobster. Food was top notch, and the staff were all delightful. The fried oysters were my favourite, followed closely by the gorgonzola croquettes and prawns. No service charge added, so the tip is well earned! ”
“ We’ve tried all of Whitstable’s top restaurants and this place is far ahead of the pack! Incredible food, small plates packed with flavour on a menu that changes pretty regularly, attentive and friendly service (we asked about dairy free and they annotated a menu for us and made suggestions etc), and lovely decor. We particularly loved the corn ribs, prawns and tuna. Loved it so much we went back twice in one week... Cannot recommend this place enough! ”
“ We had an excellent experience at the Lazy Lobster. They were fully booked but we were able to sit at the bar for drinks and a limited bar snack menu which included raw and fried oysters. The dishes were beautifully presented. It is a lovely restaurant with wonderful ambience. The menu looks superb so definitely book if you’re thinking of going. Dog friendly too which is a bonus! ”
“ Arrived for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon, we were welcome by Luke who was so kind to accommodate us and ensuring that the kitchen would still be open. The food was absolutely delicious, one of the best meal we have ever had. The flavours were well balanced and different. Luke was a wonderful host and we will definitely be back. A massive thank you to the whole team who fed 2 very hungry Italian ladies! ”
