Will Larter left this review about The Lobster
A food oriented pub a short step from the sea. Any interest in serving interesting and varied cask beers seems to have disappeared - perhaps when some new people took over running the place in 2024 - with just Ghost Ship and Pride available on a pair of hand pumps in both the front room to the right and the slightly more pleasant room to the left. But every table in both rooms, not to mention the dining room at the back, is graced with a box of cutlery and sauces, with Mary a beer mat to be seen. I haven't had Ghost Ship for a number of years, and having parted with £5.75 on this occasion I'm rather wishing I'd carried on with the boycott (NBSS 2.5). Not my cup of tea. Ooh, actually, that's a good idea. Should have stopped at the hostel for a cuppa.

Two room pub at bottom of the High St, to the right the room is more than a bit cafe-like while the lefthand room is a little more pubby. There’s a couple of hand pulls in the left hand side but about six casks are on sale so I suspect on gravity, there was a list of 6 in the right hand bar and a tiny blackboard in the left hand room with 3 beers listed, none very inspiring being mostly national BBBs, I had a mediocre Wherry. Carpet, telly and light pine furniture in the lefthand bar, with a vaguely nautical theme the ceiling is covered in old charts, there’s boat name plates, fishing boat tackle and battleship grey woodwork.

The Lobster was busy with Friday lunchtime diners on my recent Friday lunchtime visit. I was ensconced in the smaller of the two main rooms, which had numerous tables crammed in, all of them turning over rapidly.
I skipped the food, and settled for a pint of Jigfoot - a golden ale from the local Moon Gazer Brewery, served on gravity - the pumps are mainly for decoration, it would seem as, of the 5, two had clips turned, one was advertising Pride, and the last was completely unadorned. Nevertheless, the beer was good.
The limited ale selection may be a problem for the beer purist, but I'd have no problem returning (albeit that's an unlikely prospect given the distance).
