For the love of lobster

FOR Sunday lunch I went to Burger and Lobster in Soho with six of my lovely pals. I had heard a lot about it so I was *excited*. There are only three options on the menu which are Lobster Roll, which is cold and served in a brioche, Lobster (grilled or steamed) and a Beef Burger with Cheese and Bacon. It was £20 for a small and £30 for a large. We mostly went for the grilled lobster option, which is served with French Fries and salad and a lemon and garlic butter.


When I was given mine I only got half a body! But once I pointed it out to the waitress it was soon replaced. It is very messy but the lobster meat was lovely, especially with the delicious butter. The fries are beautifully salted and thin and crispy and the salad was fresh and complete with croutons.

Penny went for the burger, which also looked delicious, and the burger was really thick.

The drinks are quite pricey (about £4.50 for a soft drink) but with lobster for £20 you can’t go too wrong. A discretionary 12.5% was added onto the bill which was over £20, so beware of this. We didn’t pay it all and the waitress came back to query it which was a bit embarrassing but other than that it is good value.

Afterwards we went to Patisserie Valerie and I had a double chocolate gateux with a profiterole on top. Unsurprisingly it beat me – it was delicious though. So I took it home in a cute little box for a snack later.

A pleasant end to a week of eating!
