We’re in prime season for this delicious ingredient, and here are a number of limited-edition specials using it in innovative as well as classic ways.
Native Lobster Special at The Mayfair Chippy
The Mayfair Chippy is offering a one off special of Native Cornish Lobster at its aptly named Lobster Shack at The Mayfair Chippy Knightsbridge – available now until 16th September. With sweeter, more delicate meat that’s hard to come by anywhere else, Native Lobster is a truly special ingredient. The dish will be served with lemon, garlic and parsley butter, hand cut chips, a garden salad, and a glass of English Balfour Sparkling Wine, all for £60 per person. The dish is also available as a one-off special at both Mayfair Chippy locations if the lobster shack is fully booked.
Native BBQ Lobster at The Town House
The Town House – the new restaurant with rooms in Arundel by husband and wife duo Matthew and Jennifer Price – has a delicious BBQ lobster dish on its 10 course tasting menu. The smoky and caramelised grill flavours form a rich lobster dish, served with Exmoor caviar, tamarind, sand carrot, vadouvan and saffron.
Matthew was previously head chef at Sorrel (2*) where his wife was the General Manager, before they decided to open their own place – The Town House. The two-strong team is small but mighty, providing a 7 course tasting menu with the warmest service and an excellent wine list. The menu focuses on seasonality and using local ingredients.
Native Lobster Roll at Sam’s Riverside
A favourite dish of Sam’s Riverside proprietor Sam Harrison, the lobster roll is now back on the menu at the beloved Hammersmith brasserie. A mix of Connecticut and Maine styles but using Native UK lobster, the roll will also come with a shell infused dipping sauce. With only a limited number available each day, guests are encouraged to arrive early so as not to miss out.
