The host was amazing, she super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It was a quiet day, which was nice and relaxing. I’m a big seafood fan, so I ordered the seafood boil, definitely recommend! The Cajun sauce was especially good, full of flavour. I also tried the baby rice crab based on some reviews, but honestly, they were just mid 😵‍💫 wouldn’t recommend those. Overall, though, I really enjoyed everything else!

The food here is fresh and really tasty. Would definitely try all the sauces and will be going back to try more on the menu. Staff are happy and pleasant and do not over attend and the music is vibrant and at a perfect level. Price wise it is amazing for fresh crab and various seafood. 100% recommend this restaurant and again will be going back.

Kasimira was our host and she was sweet and lovely. We had the lobster deal, 2 x lobster, 2 x sides, 2 x soft drinks for £80 - we did order another side but it didn't come but tbh we were so stuffed we didn't care. Seasoning and spice was ten ten. Would definitely go back.

We ordered the Cajun prawns, 1lb prawns and the calamari with chips. Probably wouldn’t recommend ordering Cajun prawns as a starter if you’re ordering the 1lb prawns, as it’s essentially the same thing. The food was banging! Shame they didn’t have the crabs available at the time we went. Also the gloves they provide to eat were a bit flimsy and annoying. Nevertheless, would deffo come back here again! Service was amazing too, they were very friendly and helpful.

I had dinner at Fat Crab in Stratford for a catch-up with the girls right after the festive season. It was quiet when we went, which we didn't mind. The service was attentive, friendly, and helpful. We asked for recommendations, and they provided great feedback, explaining how the menu works and how we could incorporate different dishes. I opted for the crab, mussels, and chips. The food was served in a bag without plates, and the tables were covered with disposable tablecloths. We were provided with all the necessary tools to tackle our meal, which was a unique and fun experience. The food was nice but understandably messy. I wouldn't necessarily choose this place for a first date unless you're comfortable with the messiness or don't mind wasting a bit. The playlist was fantastic, especially if you enjoy RnB (not sure if it's the usual, but we loved it). There's a sink in the restaurant by the bar to wash your hands before and after eating, and they also provide gloves. There are only two bathroom cubicles (from what I saw). It's a short walk from Westfield, heading towards the international train station. Would I go again? If I was in the area and fancied it, sure! But experienced once so wouldn't necessarily choose.
