South Devon’s new place to eat

Advance notice

Please note that the Lobster Pod bistro will be closed for annual maintenance from Wednesday, 2nd January, 2019 to Monday, 11th February, 2019 inclusive

The Lobster Pod is a new bistro that has opened in Hope Cove. Situated overlooking the harbour and beach, it has spectacular views across Bigbury Bay and both indoor and outdoor seating. The latter include heated enclosed pods with comfortable seating and tables. There are also takeaway meals and the ability to purchase uncooked fish.

We have three bookable pods which accommodate from 8 to 10 persons depending on the pod. Bookings are for 1 hr 45 minutes at a time giving you plenty of time to finish your meal. For your comfort, the pods have heating and Bluetooth sound systems (and a telephone for requesting further drinks!)

The pods and tables are very roomy so we encourage people to share them when possible. Take the opportunity to make new friends! The tables, the bistro and the rotating pod (17 covered seats in total) are non-bookable: feel free to pop in for food or just a drink.

The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe investing in rural areas has supported The Lobster Pod Bistro – a new bistro with covered seated pods at The Cottage Hotel, Hope Cove.
