This is the third time I’ve been to the Big Easy .. the first time I pigged out with my brother, the second time with Sandra and my brother with a Monday evening all you can eat ribs and bbq chicken and tonight it was with the girls to take advantage of the Lobster Festival. For £14.95 you get half a 1kg Maine Lobster, Fries, Salad and the biggest Frozen Margarita I’ve ever seen! Even though I’m allergic to alcohol I just had to have the margarita and boy it was really good. (Slightest regret with the after-effects of downing the alcohol though!)

Pauline wasn’t really feeling the lobster so she went with fajitas instead. The portion of fajitas was gigantic and looked very tasty. It came with a fair chunk of chicken plus lots of sides including guac which is always a good sign.

As for the lobsters – they come either grilled, steamed or bar-b-q’d and respective sauces on the side. Both Jenny and I went for the grilled version and Catherine the bar-b-q’d version though to be honest I couldn’t tell the difference except we got different sauces. I absolutely adore shellfish and lobster has to be up there at the top as one of my favourites. It is a little hard work though so its definitely not a date meal! ha ha. I think Pauline was definitely having a good time laughing at Jenny, Catherine and I as we tackled the little monsters on our plates!

Here are the lobster girls:

The lobster was surprisingly filling, or it could be all the delicious fries that came with it. Typical me I barely left anything on my plate – I reckon my lobster was very well cleaned out!

The Lobster Festival seems to be avaiable during Spring and Summer (makes sense I guess) so you’ve got about a month to go to take advantage. The Lobster deal at Big Easy is a pretty good one. You’ll have a good time at the Big Easy … even if it is to enjoy the kitch decoration and the surprisingly down-to-earth restaurant in the posh surrounds.
