Wales Restaurant Guide

Lobster Pot Restaurant, The

Located in Church Bay, one of the most beautiful spots on this scenic island, The Lobster Pot offers a menu composed almost entirely of seafood, and who can query that? There is something particularly satisfying about sitting in the oak-beamed, candlelit restaurant overlooking the sparkling sea enjoying the fruits of those very waters, lobsters, scallops, mussels, Dover soles and crabs, with the odd steak thrown in for those unable to enter into the spirit of things.
