- AAnna & Baxter30/07/2026Perfect Day Perfect DayWe got married at The Crab & Lobster, and I couldn’t wait to leave a review. From start to finish, everything was absolutely unbelievable. The venue itself is beautiful, but what truly made our wedding day so special was the incredible team behind it. Thank you so much to Sasha and the entire team at The Crab & Lobster for making our wedding everything it was. We wouldn’t have had such a perfect day without you. We will never forget it and will be forever grateful. We got married at The Crab & Lobster, and I couldn’t wait to leave a review. From start to finish, everything was absolutely unbelievable.

- SSam and Tracy26/08/2025Brilliant Venue, Wonderful staff, truly special day.Brilliant Venue, Wonderful staff, truly special day.Crab Manor Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding, providing everything one could need. Luxurious accommodation on site for the guests, a quirky sense of style, scenic grounds and unbeatable food, all headed up by our conscientious wedding planner Abigail. Abigail ensured that all of the minutiae of our day was considered and that everything ran smoothly. She ensured that me and my new wife weren't overwhelmed, that we had time to soak the day and that we never had to worry about anything. She worked tirelessly on the day and was so helpful in helping us consider elements we may have forgotten. The venue was perfect for us - the staff attentive, responsive and friendly. Able to accommodate 40+ guests with personalized rooms, hot tubs and comfy beds, it made the day before and after the wedding perfect. The food served was of exceptional quality.
