Our Lobster Salad, from the Raw Bar at The Princess Royal, is something of a favourite. Always on our specials board when we have lobster in, it’s pretty special. For those wanting to create it at home there are many elements to it so takes a bit of time but worth the effort we think. Or you can always just pull up a stool at our Raw Bar and tuck in.
