Mussel and Crab Description
Hardly what you expect to find in Nottinghamshire, but then the sea really is pretty close to us all, and seafood is a predominant feature of the menu, as you might expect. Bruce Elliott-Bateman, and Philip Wright at the stoves make an excellent and proven team. The décor is challenging as you switch from oak beams and open fires to another dining room decked out in Mediterranean style and colours.
Up to 22 blackboards promote the delights of such delicacies as crab bisque, oysters, avruga with swordfish to follow, or escolar from Indonesia, or from nearer home with sole from Torbay, or a Cromer crab, the sweetest of them all. Deliveries are frequent, usually from Brixham. For determined carnivores the king-size mixed grill comes as something of a relief, and in season there is game from the surrounding estates.
The wine list is extensive and well-geared to the menu. Perhaps the final touch for the gentlemen is the plastic cistern in the wash room, complete with live goldfish. Who said that eccentricity was on the decline?
Your Reviews of Mussel and Crab
Sue (25 July 2009)
I just returned from my first meal at The Mussel and Crab. Friends took us there for my husband's birthday. We were not disappointed. Each of us had a different main course. All superb and ample portions such that we couldn't manage a dessert. With chips to die for, friendly and excellent service, it was comparable to some excellent fish restaurants we have eaten in on the coast. Prices were very reasonable. I will definitely return to this one.

I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant yesterday and the food was great and most of all the staff were friendly the moment you step in. The atmosphere was beautiful and it’s really worth my GBP 75 for three of us. Recommended, I would go back again in the future. From Brunei.
