Lobster
Fresh whole cooked lobster goes on the market every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during its season, straight after the boats land. Choose fresh when you know exactly which night you are eating, and enjoy it within two or three days of it arriving. The rest of the year, you will find frozen whole cooked lobster (400 to 600g live weight, minimum 350g cooked). It is the same lobster, cooked on landing day and frozen at its peak within hours, so nothing is lost. Keep one or two in the freezer and a celebration dinner is always ready. For Christmas it is the sensible choice: buy early, store it, and take the pressure off the week itself.
Whole Cooked Lobster, Landed and Cooked in Devon
Lobster is the most celebratory thing you can put on a table, and ours does not travel far to reach yours. Our lobsters are caught sustainably off the South West coast and landed on Brixham quay. Our chefs cook them the same day, moments from the water, so the meat stays sweet, firm and full of flavour.
Fresh or frozen: which to choose
Fresh whole cooked lobster goes on the market every Wednesday and Thursday, straight after the boats land, in three sizes from 400g up to 1kg. Choose fresh when you know exactly which night you are eating, and enjoy it within two or three days of it arriving.
Frozen whole cooked lobster (400 to 600g live weight, minimum 350g cooked) is cooked on landing day and frozen at its peak, so it is every bit as good, just on your timetable. Keep one or two in the freezer and a celebration dinner is always ready. For Christmas, frozen is the sensible choice: buy early, store it, and take the pressure off the week itself.
Two whole cooked lobsters for £50
Through November and December, two whole cooked frozen lobsters are £50, saving you almost £10. Pre-order from October for delivery from the 16th to 23rd, and your Christmas lobster is settled. Over 600 left our kitchen last December, so early is wise.
When we deliver
Order before 2pm Monday to Thursday, or before 12pm on Friday, for next day delivery. Fresh lobster arrives Thursday and Friday, following the Wednesday and Thursday landings. Frozen lobster can come any weekday, and you can pick a delivery date up to two weeks ahead, which makes Christmas planning simple. Weekend orders arrive on Tuesday. Delivery is free on orders over £85.
From October you can pre-order lobster to arrive in the build up for Christmas securing your lobster for the festive celebrations.
How much lobster per person
Allow one 400 to 600g lobster per person for a main course, which gives you roughly 200g of sweet meat once you have worked through the claws and tail. A 600 to 800g lobster suits one big appetite, or two people as a starter. An 800g to 1kg lobster will feed two comfortably with a salad, good bread and a bowl of mayonnaise. If lobster is one dish among several over Christmas, half a lobster each is plenty.
