I would rate higher than 5 stars if I could. The food here is absolutely amazing- fresh and good value. I absolutely loved the crayfish special! Great selection of teas and coffees too. The ladies running the hut are great very welcoming and friendly. Cash and card payments are both accepted. Would definitely eat here again.

Some of the best and freshest seafood we have had in a long time! The store is a little basic but 100% worth the visit. The cockles were probably the best we have had.

A fantastic little takeaway hut selling super fresh crab, crayfish and seafood rolls and pots, plus drinks and snacks in a lovely harbourside spot. Incredible quality fresh local food for very reasonable prices, and lovely, friendly and kind service, even when there is a long queue! Highly recommended for a tasty fresh lunch.

An absolute experience! Affordable, quality food in a sublime environment. I tried the Crabhut Special - a mix of prawn, crab and crayfish at £6.50. They recommended their sauce and brown bread to go with it. The prawns may look bleached like Chinese crystal prawns, but they are fresh, sweet and briny. All three ingredients were fresh and sweet - tasted of the sea! Coupled with the gentle spring breeze and trill of the birds, this is an experience that surpasses many fancy restaurants that try so hard to manufacture.

Just eaten a lovely prawn sub and my partner had the special seafood sub. Wow! What a Super fresh, tasty treat, the seafood/prawns were not soggy and it was all the more delicious with added crispy lettuce. A big thank you too as I'm allergic to mussels and you gave me prawns from another fridge, away from the tubs of seafood in the shop front fridge 😀

Great little seafood hut selling fresh seafood. Just be prepared to queue for a while. There isn’t any seating but there is plenty of nearby parking so it’s a grab the food and eat in the car type of affair. All the seafood from the prawns to the crayfish was fresh and delicious. The highlight being the whelks served simply with pepper seasoning. Service was friendly and efficient, and the queue moved quickly. If you’re in the area or driving by it’s definitely worth a stop for a bite to eat.
