Absolutely amazing seafood platter. The lobster was very tasty and cooked to perfection, so were the prawns and crab.
The ambiance was very friendly and chilled. We were served by Marco and Paul, who looked after us and made sure we were happy with the food. Amazing guys!
Highly recommend and will definitely be stopping at Dan's shack once we're in Porthleven again.
Visited this venue on multiple occasions over our two-week stay in the area. It helped to save our holiday. The Storm Damage cider is the best I've ever tasted (like the best stewed apple in drink form). My wife and I bought 5 litres to bring home. The rum is also gorgeous (bought a bottle of that too), and the food! All of it is top notch, and we even splashed out on the sharing platter. Best seafood I've ever had!
Last day of the hol - we went for a run and headed to the harbour for a morning dip. Sensational Sam, of Dan Dan the Lobster Man, beckoned us in and showed us some freshly caught lobsters. This set us up for the day. Tea time rolled around and Sam welcomed us back. We had our hearts set on half a lobster, but when we came to order he told us about a fresh batch of crayfish that was worth considering, especially as it’s served with hot butter. We’d never had it before and worried if it was worth the hype but Sam reassured us that it was delicious - we even met fisherman Dan Dan!! We all locked in and ordered 3, alongside a sensational bottle of Prosecco and deadly delicious cider. Not to mention 3 crunchy crab tacos! Golden hour sun topped the whole experience off. The evening was made by Sam’s infectious positivity, a worldly man, living off grid. We shared tales of the hol, finished off by drinks on the slip way.
