We were so happy we found this place. The lobster pot is somewhat quaint and unassuming from the outside but don't let this put you off. The food was top quality and the best meal we have had dining out for a long time (including in London). We had the cod and slow-cooked beef. Both were cooked to perfection. The price was very reasonable too. The young staff were very professional and highly attentive and gave excellent service. I certainly would recommend this place and would love to go back. The best meal we had in Ireland, don't miss it.

We were down in Ballyculter Church outside Strangford. We decided to go into Village a coffee. We went into Lobster Pot and decided to have lunch. Marty served us a drink and was very chatty it makes such a difference when Staff take the time to have a conservation especially on Christmas Eve and busy. Abbey and the other Servers where pleasant and helpful.

Smart lunch option while waiting for the ferry. Menu is partially focused on a seafood. Their fish and chips was more then good! The pub is one of the stop on the "Game of Thrones bus tour" so they can serve beer in the stylish the wooden mug. At least on request. Nice :-)

Visited this place during the Game of thrones bus trip. It a lovely restaurant and the service is great! However, a bit on the pricey side. Had chicken wings with chips. Guiness beer was served in a wooden tankard for the complete medieval feeling! :) Still water was not free!Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian options

Delicious roast beef dinner, really good gravy, veg cooked just right .. with a little bite! Will have to make a visit again just as soon as I can. Recommend you book before hand if you can, otherwise you might have a longish wait

Very nice setting, very nice venue, vety nice staff don't order lobster or mussels, far too small, should not have been harvested or served.

Had the most wonderful lunch here today, we opted for the Cod and chips and half lobster. Food was perfectly cooked fresh and full of flavor.

Visited on what looked like a quiet Wednesday, so was able to get a table straight away. With the quality of food on offer, I suspect booking is advisable on weekends or holiday.I had the warm bread starter with different tapena dips, followed by a beautiful half lobster with garlic butter.My friend had the mussels which came in a rich cream mushroom sauce. Both complimented by a Chablis, which unfortunately wasn't chilled enough however the ice bucket helped.Nice location, friendly staff, a little quiet on our visit but worth it
Called in late afternoon with no booking after visiting nearby Castle Ward. Grabbed a table in the bar for a drink and to check the menu. Staff were very good and decor was bright and smart- don’t be put off from the outside which looks a bit old fashioned. Bar and restaurant overlook the ferry and stangford lough. We were seated in the restaurant and had gorgeous mussels to start, followed by whole lobster and chef special - seafood pappadelle pasta. Reasonable wine menu. Fab food, portions good, great friendly staff - relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend- would pre-book if weekend and/or larger groups.

This restaurant is great value for money, the staff are friendly and the food is great. They are willing to tweak the menu a little bit if required. I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area

Good atmosphere in bar area. No atmosphere at all in dining area. Old fashioned, table dirty/sticky. Really slow service (50 mins between starters and main course) and waiting staff very inexperienced, disorganised. Lovely scampi. Rest of meal not great (fish and chips particularly disappointing/anaemic looking)
