Award winning seafood restaurant and oyster farm situated in a breathtaking part of Dorset.
(1099)

Here's a little bit about us...
We are situated in a breathtaking part of Dorset, looking out over Chesil beach. We have our own Portland Oyster beds just a stones throw from the restaurant so you can enjoy fresh Oysters on your table within minutes of them leaving the water! We also specialise in other types of seafood, most loved are the fresh, local Crabs. A good size, caught along the the English Channel, that are then freshly boiled, chopped in half and then stir fried in garlic, chilli, ginger and herbs. The Crabs are served on large wooden boards with a hammer, nut-crackers, various picks and forks and a bib. Don't just take our recommendation, the Crab House Cafe has had the nod of approval from Rick Stein as well as the Observer and all the other broadsheet supplements. Other than our popular Crabs, the menu at the Crab House consists of delicious fish & seafood recipes all from fish landed within 40 miles. So why not treat yourself to a tempting meal at the Crab House Cafe and a day out to remember on the Dorset Coast!

Meet the Team – Phoebe

Phoebe has been a valued part of our team for the past 4 years, and has recently stepped into her new role as Front of House Supervisor. With the support of our management team – Darren, Alexis, Dan and Matt – she’s thriving in her position and continues to go from strength to strength.

Known for her warm welcome and attention to detail, Phoebe plays a key role in creating the experience our guests love.

Outside of work, Phoebe is just as impressive – holding a British powerlifting record for the deadlift… not someone you’d want to challenge 💪
