Burger and Lobster, London

Burger? Lobster? Or Lobster Roll?

And?

That is all we have on the food menu. All options for £20.

I'll have the grilled lobster please.
And I'll have the lobster roll. Thank you.



This must be the best deal in London for lobsters. Delish too. And, there was no compromise in quality either. I was half-expecting cray-fish like "lobsters" when I heard the price they were up for, but was very, pleasantly surprised by the good-sized portions they came in.

The natural sweetness of the lobster meat and the gentle elasticity that came with it could only have been evidence of how fresh the catch of the day was. 

The grilled lobster was served with melted butter. 
Although it was not quite the "Butter Lobster" dish famously sought after in Asian countries, it certainly gave us the option of buttering it to our heart's content.

The lobster roll was no poorer cousin either.
Marinated in a light, but fragrant, Japanese mayonnaise sauce, the texture of the lobster flesh contrasted nicely with the soft brioche roll. 

The fries and salad were far from mere plate decor too. 
The fries were skinny but crisp to each bite, and the salad provided a nice variety of greens - a nice touch of balance to the gloriously rich meal.
