Crab & Lobster

The Crab & Lobster topped more than 2000 pubs in the AA Pubs & Inns Guide 2001. The Crab & Lobster is a 17th century thatched Munchkin cottage that sits in an idyllic spot amid seven acres of garden, lake and streams.

Its brasserie menu is supplemented by daily blackboard specials, which major in fresh fish, ranging from bouillabaise, Thai fishcakes and scallops Gruyere to monkfish tortillas.

David Hancock, AA Pub Guide Editor says: “The Crab & Lobster was chosen for its superb range of imaginative and adventurous seafood dishes, excellently presented and using the freshest produce. The pub itself is a delightful treasure trove of eccentric bric-a-brac and antiques, which makes the Crab and Lobster an even more desirable destination.”

Howard Thomas, Trade Development Executive for Seafish says “Seafood is the ideal meal choice when eating out – it’s extremely tasty and because it is very versatile, there is always something on the menu to suit everyone.

Seafish have sponsored these awards for the third year running because we want to reward and highlight those pubs and inns that work hard to serve up the best seafood dishes in Great Britain”.

David Barnard, the owner received a certificate from David Hancock, AA Pub Guide Editor and Howard Thomas, Trade Development Executive for the Sea Fish Industry Authority.

There are more than 2000 AA-recommended pubs in the AA Pub Guide 2001, with 500 displaying the Seafish symbol, which indicates that they offer at least four dishes based on sea fish.

AA Pub Guide 2001 is published on 1 October 2000, priced £10.99. It will be available from High Street booksellers.
