Was really good. Had the ss boil for 2 and the bucket. Food was really good, thoroughly enjoyed. The sauces were brilliant. Also ordered the black mamba drink which was ok. Only thing I would say is the ss boil for 2 was a little on the small side for 2 people in my opinion especially considering the price. Otherwise all good, will go back

Amazing first time experience at Shrimp Shack. Emily our waitress was fantastic and super friendly. I’ve been to other seafood boil places in London and have dropped a fortune to be super disappointed. The seafood boil here for two was really fair priced and had all the best bits. I think for £75 (£38pp) it’s really worth it. The food was fresh. The crab was meaty and the light spicy sauce was amazing. I wish there was more of a garlic butter option for the sauce style similar to the ones you get over in America. My only comment is for the waitresses to explain that payment must be made first or for it to be stated in a sign somewhere so not to spring it on us. I felt very rushed to pay but either way, still 5/5 for experience and food.

The food at Shrimp Shack was delicious We tried the Sailor Platter and it was more than enough for two people, very tasty. The service with Ozzy was excellent and made the experience even better. Definitely recommend and will be coming back!

Service was great, welcoming and accommodating. Food was yummy the sharer ship bucket spoon good only let down was the seabass wasn't as seasoned as it look but was still nice once you add a lil extra salt and the sauce. The mussels are a must to get.
