Join a local fisherman and chef for an intimate harbour-to-table session: watch the morning catch land on the Cobb, then sit down to freshly dressed Lyme Bay crab, lobster and local smoked fish paired with Dorset wines. Genuinely unforgettable.
What to expect
Start with a short walk along the Cobb to meet local fishermen unloading Lyme Bay crab and lobster pots — the guide explains the sustainable day-boat fishery. Then settle onto the sun-trap terrace for a leisurely multi-course spread: potted shrimp on sourdough, whole dressed crab, grilled lobster half, and a Dorset clotted-cream dessert. The sommelier pairs each course with English sparkling wine and Dorset cider.
Good to know
Reservations are essential — contact the restaurant directly at least 1 week ahead. The Cobb is a 5-minute walk from the town centre. Lunch service runs 12:00–14:30, leaving ample time before all-aboard.
