Make lobster the focus of the occasion
Fresh lobster brings a sense of occasion to celebrations, special dinners and generous seafood platters. It can take centre stage as a main course or be served in smaller amounts alongside crab, prawns and other shellfish. Because each lobster is sold by weight, the right size depends on your menu and the number of people sharing it. A whole lobster for a main meal calls for different planning from lobster used as one part of a mixed spread. Tell us what you're preparing, and we'll help you consider the quantity before you collect from our Dungeness shop.
Check seasonal supply before your meal
Fresh lobster is currently on special offer at £20 per lb. Supply follows the season, so the sizes and quantities available can change. An advance telephone order is the practical choice when you need lobster for a particular date or number of diners. We can confirm current stock, discuss how the price relates to weight and reserve an agreed quantity where available. Ordering early also gives you more time to plan accompaniments and decide whether lobster will be served as the main course or within a broader seafood menu.
Frequently asked questions
How much fresh lobster should we order?
The quantity depends on your guest numbers and how you plan to serve it. A main course usually needs more per person than a starter or mixed seafood platter. Call us with your menu details so we can discuss available sizes.
Is the £20 lobster price for each lobster?
No. The current fresh lobster offer is £20 per lb, so the final amount depends on the lobster's weight. We can explain the available sizes and likely total when you call to check seasonal stock.
Can we reserve lobster for a celebration?
Yes, subject to seasonal supply. Advance ordering is recommended when you need a particular quantity or collection date. Tell us the date, number of diners and menu style so we can check suitable stock.
