The whole atmosphere made everything memorable.Posted on Neenees KathleenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely stunning food!! Iβve been at the pop up events twice now and I can not fault it one little bit!! Absolutely stunning food and service too!! Unbeatable prices/worth every single penny!!! Been up and down the country having different seafood boils but this one is the best by miles !! Canβt wait to book again!!Posted on J DaviesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. βThe vibe is exactly what youβd expect from a seafood boil. laid-back, nautical-themed, and intentionally messy. Youβll likely be greeted with paper on the tables and a plastic bibβdonβt refuse it, youβre going to need it. The food is out of this world and the seafood is always fresh. Its fun that the location moves around making each experience different!!Posted on Jordon RossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mmmm the lobster and prawns are massive and "tail on" which is the only way to do it. The mussels and crab clusters are steamed to perfection and the point where the meat pulls away effortlessly, soaked through with the "mermaid boil" secret special sauce. Youβre cracking shells, peeling prawns, and dipping everything back into that pool of golden, liquid This truly is the food of the gods and you'd be stupid to miss out!!! All boils are served with potatoes, corn and bread. This certainly is a good night put for everyone.Posted on James WrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came to a pop event at The Lugger In Devonport took my partner and our 16 month old baby , great fun for everyone and food was sensational , flavours are perfect.
