Quick info
About Lobster Pot
Lobster Pot is a Chinese takeaway in Maidenhead, at 12 Harrow Ln, run by the same family since the 80s. A separate chip shop menu sits alongside the Chinese menu, so the kitchen covers fish and chips as well as Chinese dishes such as hot and sour soup. Chips come in small and large portions, and a lunchtime Chinese menu is offered too. The takeaway opens Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays. It gets busy, with a wait at peak times, and parking can be tricky then, so customers often park up the road.
