About this restaurant

Good for groups
Charming
Good for special occasions

The Pelican State. Rich, soulful and unapologetically messy - that's how we like it. Inspired by fiery cajun flavours and America's Deep South "one-pot" cooking style, we've put our own spin on these classic seafood dishes.
Cheeky sauces, hearty made-to-share boils, delicious shellfish and a whole load soul makes for a feast that we can't wait to share with you.

I had seen recommendations online. but honestly, the food is mid. It's not a place I would go back to. If you are still interested, they do a cheaper lunch menu to try it out.

Unfortunately the place is a total wreck. The 2 servers and the barman looks exausted and smiling is apparently an optional. Cutlery are dirty, tables sticky. Even tho the restaurant wasn't busy, they tell you to order via QR and after they serve you, good luck catching them again. Thr food was not good. We choose the 99£ boil and added some extra. Unfortunately the fish is not cooked in the sauce but probably boiled in salty water and kept aside for service. Once ordered they quickly toss it in the sauce and serve it. Our boil had snow crab which was cold, lobster thag was stale and squid that you could use as rubber bands. Sauce was bland and sad. And the garlic baguette are just 2 pieces of undercooked chewy bread with a thin layer of butter. Very disappointed and definitely not going to come back unless something drastically changes

The food was delicious, the portion size was just right and the staff were very friendly and helpful. This was definitely value for money without the compromise of quality food. The decor in the restaurant was lovely, it's a casual little place with great background music. If you are a seafood lover I would definitely recommend paying this restaurant a visit 😋

The quantity of the snow crab was a little bit small. One portion is half of a crab. But the boiling menu with garlic sauce tasted wonderful!
