The Bass and Lobster
Latest Reviews
The Bass & Lobster is a must visit restaurant for locals, and visitors, alike. Booking in advance is recommended. We had the set lunch on a Tuesday, and it was packed. The service by Kirstie, and her team was very attentive, informative, and clearly showed a passion for what they produce, here. Chef Thorpe Jones and his crew served up mouth-watering dishes showcasing the best of locally sourced, and seasonal produce with very well balanced and innovative flavours. The portions on our 3 course £25 lunch were generous. The path set here by the Bass and Lobster, in sourcing locally, and adhering to the seasons, appeals, greatly to my ethos of how it should be done, and also makes them a prime candidate for Michelin's new 'Green Star' award introduced last year.

Had a fabulous lunch. £25 set menu had a good choice and the standard of food was excellent. A very enjoyable experience.

We stayed in Gorey recently and enjoyed the Bass and Lobster so much we returned a further 3 times during the course of our 7 night stay!
We always received a really warm welcome from Kirstie and Fran along with excellent service. The restaurant it's self has a lovely atmosphere, and you can opt to dine inside or out.
The food here is stunning - very inventive and made using high quality local produce, which Kirstie and Dave are very proud of (and rightly so!).
We tried so many beautiful dishes, including tempura oysters, octopus, duck, red mullet, scallops and various different wonderful flavours of Ice creams. All were cooked to perfection, seasoned and balanced beautifully.
Highly recommended!

Not the most palatial of venues, not the most expansive menu, but delicious food, generous portions and fantastic friendly staff all at great value.
We went on the £25 set menus that consists of a three course meal with a pre starter bread board and post dessert coffee and chocolates.
A la Carte seemed to be less favourable value but the food looked to be just as delicious.
We would highly recommend this to all and will be back to try out their Autumn £20 set menu in October.

Absolutely fantastic, every aspect of the evening was top notch. The staff extremely professional, all the food, and I mean all the food was to Michelin standard, if you are thinking of going don’t hesitate but make sure you book otherwise you are likely to be disappointed. Not expensive considering the quality.

This place is the best on the Island! The food, the service, the whole package. The team are so professional yet super friendly. The food is always amazing and I highly recommend their home made ice cream. We make a point of visiting every time we come back and are never disappointed.

We got lucky rang up and got a booking but had 90 mins in order to have our meal as they needed the table later. We were not disappointed it was amazing the wife had homemade lamb and chorizo burger with Parmesan fries it was delicious never tasted a more beautiful burger like this before. Pity it closed early on Sunday as we would of tried again to get in to sample the wonderful menu. It’s closed also on Mondays so best book this place if you can.

The reviews are right , book before you travel and don’t miss this fantastic restaurant. The food and service is first class . We had Oysters natural to start and they were out if this world , scallops was on the menu but we wanted just cooked with butter this was no problem for the chef to prepare and they were just so cooked in butter with some dill and caramelised on the top . For our mains we had the catch of the day “ mackerel fillets” and the Veal both spot on, we finished with creme brûlée and a local cheese platter toasted with a glass of two of New Zealand savingon Blanc - Thankyou for a great evening

We recently visited Jersey and had booked Bass & Lobster sometime in advance. We had to give it 5* and write a review! The menu was amazing and pretty much everything from the bread to the ice creams and sorbets were homemade. The layers and complexity of flavour combinations across all the courses we had were so tasty. We had scallops, Fukha goats cheese, monkfish, mackerel & plaice (catches of the day), smoked pavlova, ghost chilli and cucumber sorbet… The only problem was that we couldn’t try more of the available dishes on the menu. The menu, food and perfectly attentive staff means we will be back as soon as we are able..Fabulous..

We had a great evening there on Wednesday! Absolutely fabulous food, great service and superb ambiance in this hip, yet not pretentious restaurant. The kids (14, 11 and 8) all found multiple items to their liking (and that was just on the starter menu!). The food was of the outmost quality... And the waiting staff was highly attentive, convivial and really warm...

The restaurant was busy, almost frantic. There were several things unavailable, some disappearing even as we viewed the menu. I was surprised to discover the hand dived scallop starter was cold. I seemed they were just trying too hard with some of the dishes. The food was ok but not special. Not on a par with other restaurants we visited during our stay in Jersey.

We hadn't been to the Bass & Lobster for a while but my goodness me it was good last night ! There were 4 of us and the food - starters, mains & desserts were quite simply fantastic. I have travelled the world extensively and eaten in many fine restaurants but the food here, on our doorstep in Grouville, was the best I can recall having anywhere. Congratulations to Kirstie and the team there - and we won't leave it so long until next time !

Started with a fantastic warm personal greeting, the hostess and staff remained friendly, helpful and highly knowledgeable throughout, even making a special mocktail for my 10 year old son. The food was simply out of this world, complete flavour explosion. The goats cheese and crab starters in particular were sublime. Every course superb ending with an array of incredible homemade ice creams and sorbets, so hard to choose but all the flavours we tried were delectable. The best meal we’ve had in a long time and excellent value for money. I’d recommend booking as this restaurant is not to be missed.

An absolutely wonderful lunch, great food, well presented and complimented by a friendly yet professional front of house.
We were allowed to take our time and were well advised on choosing some original options on the menu.
Attention to detail would get them a sixth star if it was available.

Incredibly attentive staff, and wildly accommodating of dietary restrictions. We had vegetarian and gluten free requirements which were met with delicious substitutions. Food is creative, fun, intricate but each dish is well portioned and phenomenal value for money. You shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit!

Once again this place has come up with the goods.
From being greeted like old friends to being “ treated” to home made ice cream ( and I don’t do sweets) everything this lunchtime was right on point.
Kirsty, Dave,and Fran were great hosts, and every course was special. Not using that word lightly as the amuse bouche did just that! And the sweetbreads for starter need a review all of their own. Sublime. The local lamb was nothing short of the best lamb probably served on the island today! This husband and wife team deserve all the accolades that come their way as they know how to produce and serve hospitality at its best. Great food and great team. See you again soon.Miles and Sharon. Xx

We visited on a Saturday night to a lovely friendly welcome, the staff could not be more accommodating and friendly. We had been looking forward to going especially since we never got the opportunity on our last visit to Jersey. Sometimes when you’ve waited so long and bigged something up it’s never quite how you expected - well not on this occasion it was better🥰 the food is beautifully served and every mouthful a delight. Thank you to you all for a memorable evening.
