My favourite place, crab sandwiches to die for xxx
We will be back now the holiday makers have gone back x
A lovely restaurant, great food, wonderful staff and outstanding views of the sea and coast line.


High quality
A wide selection of dishes
We are famous for our Cream Teas as our unique scone recipe has remained the same since the business began. Local crab sandwiches and delicious freshly prepared chips are other favourites on our menu.
Probably one of the nicest scones we have ever eaten. Unusually a square shape, still slightly warm, very soft almost like a light and fluffy sponge cake. Lashings of cream and a good jam too. Proper strong leaf tea. and plenty of parking nearby.
Best salmon I've ever eaten! The people here were so lovely, quick and attentive service. I couldn't believe how fast the food came out. The attached shop is a great idea.
Fantastic place to go and eat. The view's are superb. Staff really welcoming.

Lovely place and location. Food was wonderful. I had a fresh crab salad which was wonderful. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
one of a kind
Since 1952
The Lobster Pot Restaurant has been in the same family for over 70 years. We are situated next to the famous Portland Bill lighthouse in an outstanding location, on Dorset's World Heritage Jurassic Coast. This is just a short drive from Weymouth and only ten minutes away from the Olympic sailing venue at Portland Harbour.
