But with a cost of living crisis hitting us all hard, Dan is offering a lobster tasting menu dinner deal at an incredible price, with the same stunning premium experience – and a brand new lobster lunch offer that’s even BETTER value.
Dan said: “We’re all feeling it right now, times are difficult. People want to eat well, want to socialise, need to in fact – it’s important to switch off from the everyday worries now more than ever. So we have put together a deal we’re proud of – a lobster menu which is honestly incredible value at dinner, and one at lunch that is really special. We have worked hard to make this happen and it’s thanks to our amazing supplier, a fisherman who sells us lobsters direct from his boat, delivered here to us fresh by his mum. That’s the kind of connection we have with our beautiful Scottish produce – and it shows in the food.”
The five-course dinner menu includes snacks, flatbread, beetroot (trust us), half a lobster, barbecued on the firepit and served with jersey royals and our secret butter, and a couple of nice treats to end. That’s £50, with optional courses of cheese and Death Star petits fours at £10 each.
But the big bargain comes with the all new lunch offering, a three-course steal featuring the stellar lobster dish from the dinner menu and coming in at £35 total.
The restaurant opened recently and Dan is keen to welcome diners in to try it, knowing they will want to return – so offers deals like this.
