All-day under canvas outdoor dining 

Fresh from the surf to your plate. Enjoy seasonal, locally sourced dishes, from line-caught fish and summer veg to grilled meats and garden salads grown on site.

Our signature ‘Lobster & Rosé’ is a favourite - that's lobster, rosemary salt chips, and a chilled glass of Sugrue South Downs Rosé. But there’s plenty more to choose from, and the menu changes seasonally.

Seriously fresh seafood & a lot more

In the early hours of the morning, Johnny Murt - aka the local fisherman legend here in Padstow and the man behind the lobster we dish up at The Lobster Shed - heads out from Padstow Harbour into Cornish waters to haul in the freshest catch. No shortcuts, no middlemen. Just honest fishing that keeps our plates full and flavour bang on.

No fuss...just good food, good wine, and sea air.

At the Lobster Shed, it’s all about slow afternoons and golden hour dinners. Just throw on your flip-flops (we like to keep it casual), grab a friend or six, and come and soak up the atmosphere.

Whether you're fresh off a day at the beach or making a stop along the coast path, this is relaxed, authentic outdoor dining, Cornwall-style.

What if it rains?

We're open rain or shine during spring and summer! The Lobster Shed has a retractable roof and sides which covers all of the tables so you can enjoy the sun when it's shining, but be protected from the elements on the rainy days.
