First time for a seafood boil. Went for daughter’s birthday. It met our expectations. Food was delicious. Loved that we could mix and match. Only draw back was the sweetcorn was a tad overdone. The lemon pepper fries were on fire! Service was brilliant x Well done Fat Crab we will be back

Food was awesome and fabulous (or should I say crab-ulous?!!!). We ordered lobster, prawns, and crabs. You can order them either plain or drenched in yummy sauces like Cajun, garlic and butter, and lemon and pepper. The owner was really nice and friendly and she patiently explained each seafood / shellfish to us. Super helpful when making such a difficult choice! We also ordered the calamari as starter and it was perfectly cooked. Everything is reasonably priced too. Will definitely go back again! Highly recommended!!

Wife was craving crab so we came here, and really enjoyed it. Laurette was really helpful, tailored her service for us as we were first timers and helped a lot with our food choices, which was delicious and satisfying Soraia checked in on us and was really friendly. Overall would come again and recommend. Thank you!

Has become our go to destination for any family birthdays. One place that everyone is happy to go. Small restaurant with limited seats so book in advance if visiting during peak times. If you are looking at the sauces it's "whole shabang" all the way.
