About Lobster Pot
On Kingsgate in Bridlington, Lobster Pot is a pub that also operates as a hotel, with reception for room bookings handled inside the pub itself. Overnight rooms come with tea and coffee facilities alongside the restaurant and pub downstairs. The menu runs to a 2-course option, with chips served as a side, and children's meals are listed too, though portions have come in smaller than expected. Seating is walk-in, with no reservation process for meals. The combination of rooms and pub under one roof means guests staying overnight can eat and drink without leaving the building.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly praise the fish, called the best one diner had ever had, alongside fluffy chips and a well-liked steak and malbec pie, though that pie drew complaints of being mostly gravy with little beef. Recurring issues include slow kitchen times, a cold side dish, and one small children's macaroni portion prompting a refund. Rooms and staff are consistently called clean, friendly, and good value.

“Delicious food, great choices and excellent service. We arrived and were greeted and taken to a table. It was nice that it didn't feel crammed in. Staff were attentive enough but not over powering. The four of us enjoyed all our food and we were pleasantly surprised by the total when the bill came.”

“We stayed in the disability adapted room and found it perfect for our needs, warm, spacious easily accessible, wetroom with safety bars and fold down shower seat. Small seating area in bedroom. Beds very comfortable, Large television, tea/coffee facilities and dressing table. Key card to access ground floor room. Plenty of parking. We booked in to the restaurant on arrival and had our evening meal, Great menu, Food was hot, tasty and big portions. Very reasonably priced and took advantage of the 2 course menu. We were looked after by a staff member called Katie, Katie booked us in at reception on arrival situated in the pub itself, minimal fuss and very pleasant to deal with throughout out stay. Katie was an enthusiastic, polite, friendly and We noted exactly the same with several other guests. Definitely a credit to the Lobsterpot as was the other staff members we interacted with during our visit. The Hotel/Pub is a few minutes car drive from the seafront also regular bus service passes by and would be a steady 15 walk on foot. Price of our stay was one of the lowest for a Friday night. Other guests were a mixture of familys, couples and same sex groups but as I said no noise disturbance. All in all a very enjoyable stay and definitely will be booking in the near future.”

“The lady behind the bar was lovely. Really friendly but she was on her own. At a busy period this was not good enough and unfair to her. We ordered food, firstly my son’s food was much much later in arriving than ours - why this happened I don’t know when surely children’s meals should be the priority for a family prefer. Secondly it didn’t arrive complete, items were missing and only after chasing it up twice did he remaining items arrive. At the point we had all finished. On a second note my chips were cold and not great. Judging by the response time there was no point in complaining. Needless to say I don’t think we will be returning.”

“Unfortunately we had a very poor experience at the Lobster Pot, Bridlington. We arrived at 6pm as a party of 2 adults and one child and ordered 2 main meals and a children's meal with a drinks. The outside area was lovely to sit in but it took almost 30minutes for our meals to arrive, my daughters macaroni and cheese was such a small portion that it just didnt fill her. I appreciate childrens meals are smaller than mains but we were shocked at how small, it was more suited to a small toddler of 2-3 rather than my 6 year old who ate it within 4 fork fulls. The adult portions were also small and not worth the £17.79 price point. I ordered my daughter a side dish of fries as she was still hungry and ended up cancelling this and requesting a refund when it still hadnt arrived 40 minutes later. Instead we stopped off at McDonalds on the way home and got her some fries and a McFlurry within a few minutes.”

“Stayed one night whilst on a cycling trip. Can put bikes in your room. Staff friendly and helpful. Room nice and clean. Clean bedding and towels, plenty of tea, coffee and milk in room. We paid for breakfast which was tasty and good value. Would recommend this place. Good value too”
