If you live in Nottingham or visit it often, when you think of a seafood restaurant you probably…read morethink of Loch Fyne. You probably shouldn't. Take a wander up Mansfield Road, or probably better still, hop on a bus or jump in a cab, as The Lobster Pot is quite a way up. It is worth going out of your way for though. This small restaurant in my opinion is the best fish / seafood place in the city (not that there are many to choose from), and it is a shame that it isn't closer to the city centre. Still, if it were, then the prices would probably be higher to cover higher overheads on property. I am a big fan of mussels, and this place does them wonderfully. Their menu has a good choice of fish and shellfish dishes and a small selection of meat dishes in case anybody in your party isn't keen on seafood. As far as I know though, there aren't any vegetarian options...at least, there weren't the last time I checked their menu online. Some of the dishes have an oriental bent, such as the thai fishcakes, prawn spring rolls and sesame prawn toast starters, but there are plenty of 'regular' seafood dishes. My personal favourites at this place are the smoked haddock chowder as a starter, a hearty, creamy soup which is quite filling in itself, filled with chunks of smoked fish and potato as it is. I then like to have a main course of mussels, usually the ones steamed in chilli and basil, although the more traditional Moules Marinieres are also great. A side dish of french fries goes wonderfully with them. I also sometimes indulge in a couple of fresh oysters, which can be bought individually. Two of these with a splash of tabasco sauce are enough for me as I find them quite rich, I could never eat a full portion as a main course. Various forms of salmon are well represented on the menu, although I have never sampled them myself. There is usually a specials board on display, giving options that don't appear on the regular menu. The restaurant boasts some very reasonably priced wines, with a bottle of house wine costing just under ten pounds, and plenty of others around 11 and 12 pounds. As this is a small place, I would suggest calling to book, especially at weekends and in the Christmas period. Another point in this place's favour is that during the festive period, they keep their regular menu on, instead of forcing a "special" Christmas menu upon you as many restaurants seem to. With the price of different fish and seafood varying so much, it is hard to give an average cost for a meal here, however I do believe with this place that you get what you pay for, and i've never found myself feeling bad about the money i've put down. Seriously, if you are serious about seafood, forget about Loch Fyne. The Lobster Pot wins, claws down!

They were quick behind the counter, though. They had a lot of options with fish cake, pies, and all the different sides and sauces, but I got a standard fish & chips. The fish was huge, flakey, delicious. It came as a set meal with the chips an even with mushy peas so you don't have to order separately. I also got my favorite chips with curry sauce, which was nice and the sauce came on the side and kept really hot and nice over my trip home. Overall, quite pleased. If you're in the West Bridgford area and looking for some good takeaway fish & chips, head over to George's. I may even go again during my stay here, especially since they also put a buy-one-get-one-free coupon in your bag :)

Another time, I sat down for lunch in here and walked out after studying the menu, which was very limited and fairly pricey. Although it is the only seafood restaurant smack bang in the middle of Nottingham City centre, I would highly recommend that instead of going here, you flag down a cab and say to the driver "The Lobster Pot on Mansfeld Road please!". Loch Fyne feels very impersonal to me. It is part of a chain, and certainly has that feel for me. I much prefer The Lobster Pot, and in my opinion it is worth making the short trip away from the city centre for.

Just got food from here delivered to my hotel (thanks Deliveroo!) and it arrived piping hot and…read moredelicious, and if not for the plastic containers it was just like being served right there in the restaurant. Example: my udon noodles came with a fried egg, they actually put the egg in its own little container to keep it intact, and it arrived with the yolk still runny, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I'm so impressed. I polished off the edamame, simple but yum, wasn't a huge fan of the weird seaweed garden salad thing - it had a creamy sauce on it and a bunch of other things that weren't seaweed. I didn't realize it's like, literally a garden salad you'd get as a side, with seaweed on it plus some creamy sauce. I picked all the seaweed out to nom on, and the fresh avocado, didn't want the rest. On to the next on on to the next... Korean Bibimbap Seafood Udon. YUM. Big fat slurpable noodles - check. Tangy kimchi - check. Mixed seafood including mussels, prawns, fish cake - check. Aforementioned perfect fried egg dotted with seaweed - check. Veggies like carrots, courgette, mushrooms - check. Meal in a bowl! Filling, wonderful, and I have to say slurpable again because it was the slurpablest ever. Aside from the kimchi, the broth tasted like nice broth, but not like "omg this is so Korean and unusual," and it wasn't super spicy, however it was an incredibly well-assembled dish, everything fresh and perfectly texture. Totally addicting, I kept eating it even after I was full because I would leave no noodle untouched. Can't speak for what the restaurant is like, but delivery was super fast on a Tuesday night, and I can't even believe how hot and fresh the food arrived. This udon soup is the perfect cure for a rainy winter night, you should go get some right now.

Travel'd from Derby just for this restaurant and trust me it was absolutely worth it! Couldn't…read morerecommend this place more than anywhere else in Nottingham/Derby stop eating Wagamama and get yourself some real asian food from sushi to some of the nicest udon noodles i've ever had. Top things to try: Bento Boxes (Amazing for people who are new to asian cuisine but are willing to try things from sushi to curry dishes) Noodle Soups: I Personally love the Sake Gyu Niku Udon which is Sake marinated beef with thick, udon noodles in soya soup. ------------------ Service: Amazing but persistent i feel like the restaurant is a bit over staffed when it comes to servers and waiters due to the fact we had 3/5 people ask us if we are ready to order as the menu is rather large we took 10 minutes to decide and having people coming up and asking you constantly are you ready to order and stuff like that can make you feel pressured to hurry up and order but honestly they are some of the nicest servers you could ask for, ------------------ Problems: Calling your restaurant Pan Asia BBQ And not having the BBQ's working/available is a really off putting thing about returning it's the main reason i'm giving 4/5 traveling 50 minutes for this restaurant getting your hopes up and not having the whole experience isn't the best but i will return when they're working and ill update my review. ------------------ Short Summary: Amazing Asian food rather cheap, really good for people starting out with asian food or just wanting to experiment. Traveled quite far but was worth it only thing that let it down was the BBQ's not working.

Good, clean, well-lighted, and some seriously good, authentic Thai food done with twist. I know…read moremany people use the tom yum soup as a "taste test". I did the same. When the soup came out, it was paler than most that I've tried, which made me skeptical at first. But it turned out to be very good, very spicey and had a taste that was very "clean." I have also tried Pla Manow which is a steamed fish in lemon sauce topped with fresh garlic, chili, lime and coriander -- what can I say? it was heavenly. The wish did not taste "overly fishy" (the lemon and spices helped I am sure) and the fish belly was fatty and delicious, as good fish bellies are supposed to go. :) On another day, I tried the Poeh Tak Talay (which is a seafood soup in lemongrass -- basically the tom yum but with an assortment of seafood like mussels, shrimp, squid). Verdict: to-die-for. The seafood are "just right" (not rubbery for the squid for instance). Good point also: The refills of hot tea, as Asian restaurants must do. One frustration I have, having come from America, is how in the UK restaurants would charge "per pot" of tea. But in Asia, tea is drunk as water. It should be complimentary in fact, and it should be refillable. I hope some day the business models of restaurants in the UK change particularly in the way they charge drinks. All, In all, highly recommended. Not overly expensive. But it IS very good food. Shouldn't be this quiet or underrated. p.s., I know my Asian food.
