The Fat Crab Clapham is a seafood restaurant at 59 Lavender Hill. Opened in 2020 as the group’s largest location, it provides a lively and informal setting for shared meals, celebrations and events built around generous portions of shellfish and bold sauces.
The seafood boil format lets diners begin by choosing crab, lobster, crawfish, prawns or another main ingredient. A choice of seasoning and heat level follows, with corn, potatoes, clams and mussels available as extras to build a customised combination around the table.
Food arrives in a steamer bag rather than on a conventional plate, keeping steam, spices and sauce around the seafood until it is opened. Freshly prepared signature sauces range from savoury and buttery to hot and aromatic, while fries and sides are ready to catch the flavour left behind.
Starters offer smaller tastes of seafood before the main bags arrive, and sharing formats suit groups who want to compare several choices. Collection is available, while diners may bring their own beer or wine subject to the restaurant’s corkage policy, adding another relaxed element to the Clapham experience.
