Lobster Pot

The Lobster Pot has been trading on Ranelagh Street in the city centre since 1981, making it one of the longer-established fast-food venues in the L1 area. The same family has run it throughout, and the menu spans fish and chips, kebabs, burgers, fried chicken and a small selection of Chinese and Indian dishes — a genuine mixed-menu chippy rather than a specialist. Regular customers praise the cod portions and the salt-and-pepper chips; the scallops (potato) earn a mention in several positive reviews. The location is central — Ranelagh Street runs between Central Station and the main shopping district — making it a convenient stop at most hours of the day.
