What a lovely little place. We stopped off for lunch as a family group of 8 with a dog. We had the lunchtime special of me mussels and chips for £12 which were lovely in a creamy garlic sauce.
The staff were great and even though it is small and busy the speed was good they clearly work hard and give a great service.
Would highly recommend.
Avoid.
I’ve been to the Lobster Pot several times in the last few years, and every time it’s been a worse experience unfortunately.
Firstly they had no lobster in as it’s out of season, which I appreciate however they informed me no one else in the local area would have either, which wasn’t the case as I have since checked with other Restaurants which have plenty in stock. Considering the name of the place you’d expect them to have a supply for the off season of cardigan bay lobster.
The restaurant is as always extremely cramped and not suitable for a push chair or wheel chair, there were multiple dogs in the building which were constantly barking and yelping which totally ruined the ambience, to top it off I saw a woman with a dog sat on her lap at the table which wasn’t cleaned before the next patron came in to eat, which I find totally disgusting.
The food it’s self was good except the muscles which tasted off in my opinion, I had the Seafood Linguine and my Partner had the chicken Caesar burger which as always she enjoyed.
Drinks are overpriced and the coffee was absolutely horrendous.
All in all a very disappointing visit and I don’t think I will be back due to the hygiene.
And I will not be recommending to my friends and family again as these comments seem to mirror their experiences regarding the dogs and hygiene.
One of the worst experiences I’ve had in a restaurant, which is a shame as I once really enjoyed coming here.
Lovely place lovely food. Needs to be waiter service. Great view over the harbour.
Girl taking orders can only deal with one order at a time and cannot take another order until all the drinks are made for previous order. A waiter would speed up the service
Great food, excellent service, reasonable prices. Located right by the harbour so an excellent view while dining! Planning another visit, there were too many tempting things on the menu to choose from! ????
Came in and ordered a salmon fillet salad with honey mustard dressing for £16. Normally this is too steep but having been to the Lobster Pot before and got mackerel with salad, I decided it would be worth the price. What was received was a tiny side salad and a singular fillet of salmon that from the eye didn’t look freshly prepared. Considering the price of this compared to other restaurants in the town this is completely unjustified for what you get, especially for £16. I would possibly consider returning to try their hot food but otherwise avoid this side of the menu.
We came around noon and the place was already packed. Not much seats indoors so if you’re not fond of the cold, do come earlier to ensure seating inside. Otherwise they do have several tables outside. We had crab, mussels and surf N turf burger. Crab was good. Mussels were small and not plump, perhaps not the best time to eat them in April. The burger though had prawn salad, smoked salmon and beef patty was missing something. Maybe the patty was not well seared and bun is not what I expected. But that might be just me, particular about the burger. But the fries were really good. Service was fine, the staff was helpful to add a chair to a table of two to seat the three of us. The place was relatively clean. Bathroom is available opposite the toilet. The items we ordered are between £13-£18.
After walking around Barmouth for an hour trying to find somewhere to be either open or that can accommodate my allergies.
A lovely little find in the heart of Barmouth.
I have food allergies to Egg, Dairy and Gluten so it's a tricky combo to accommodate for, but they pulled it out of the bag and said just ask as everything is freshly cooked. And that it was!
Definitely one to go back too and the coffee wasn't bad either.

Quality food with friendly service. We had an amazing time here. Tried few different dishes and they all super fresh and tasty! Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in seafood!
