Why Buy Live Lobster Online? Fresh Welsh Lobster Delivered to Your Door
Ordering lobster online means you can enjoy exceptional seafood at home without needing to live near a fish market or specialist seafood retailer.
Whether you're planning a romantic dinner, Christmas celebration, birthday or dinner party, having lobster delivered directly to your door makes creating a memorable meal considerably easier.
At Tenby Lobster Co., we offer live Welsh lobster sourced from the Pembrokeshire coast and delivered directly to customers across mainland UK.
Can You Buy Live Lobster Online in the UK?
Yes. Live lobster can be ordered online for delivery in the UK, provided it is packed and transported appropriately.
At Tenby Lobster Co., customers can choose their lobster box online and select a delivery date to suit their plans.
This makes it possible to organise lobster for a special occasion well in advance rather than trying to find suitable lobster locally at the last minute.
Our Live Welsh Lobster Delivery UK page explains more about ordering and delivery.
Why Order Lobster Direct from Pembrokeshire?
Pembrokeshire has a long relationship with fishing and seafood.
The waters around the Welsh coastline are home to lobster, and pot fishing has been part of coastal life for generations.
Tenby Lobster Co. was created around that connection. You can read more about our background and approach on Our Story.

Is Buying Lobster Online Difficult?
It doesn't need to be.
Choose the number of lobsters you require, place your order online and select the appropriate delivery date.
Once your lobster arrives, follow the care instructions supplied with your order.
Our Lobster Care guide explains what to do when your live lobster arrives and how to look after it before cooking.
How Much Lobster Should I Order?
This depends on the number of people you're feeding and what else you're serving.
For a dinner for two, our The Coastal Duo contains two live lobsters.
For larger meals, there are several options:
The Tenby Signature — three live lobsters.
The Pembrokeshire Luxe — four live lobsters.
The Pembrokeshire Grand — six live lobsters, particularly suited to larger gatherings and dinner parties.
If you're unsure, our How Much Lobster Do You Need Per Person? guide will help you plan your order.
What Occasions Are Suitable for Lobster Delivery?
One of the advantages of ordering lobster online is being able to plan it around an occasion.
Lobster works particularly well for anniversaries, birthdays, dinner parties, romantic dinners, Christmas Eve, Christmas celebrations and gifts for food lovers.
If you're organising a larger gathering, our How to Plan the Perfect Lobster Dinner Party guide includes ideas for quantities, accompaniments and presentation.
Can I Order Lobster as a Gift?
Yes. A lobster delivery can make an unusual luxury food gift, particularly for someone who enjoys cooking or seafood.
Instead of another conventional present, you're giving them an experience they can prepare and enjoy at home.
It's particularly suited to birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and milestone celebrations.
What Happens When Live Lobster Arrives?
Your lobster should be dealt with promptly when the delivery arrives.
Live seafood is highly perishable, so don't leave the delivery unopened somewhere warm.
If you're not cooking immediately, follow the appropriate storage instructions.
Read How to Store Live Lobster Before Cooking before your delivery arrives so you know exactly what to do.
Is Cooking Whole Lobster Difficult?
Whole lobster can look intimidating if you've never prepared it before, but the cooking itself can be surprisingly straightforward.
We've created a dedicated How to Cook a Whole Lobster at Home guide covering the process.
Once cooked, lobster can be served very simply with lemon and melted butter or incorporated into a more elaborate meal.
For something particularly indulgent, try our Garlic Butter Lobster Recipe.
What Should You Serve with Lobster?
Keep the accompaniments relatively simple and let the lobster remain the centrepiece.
Fresh bread, new potatoes, green vegetables, salad, lemon and butter are all excellent options.
Our guide to What to Serve with Lobster has more ideas.
