Seafood Boils, The Velvet Crab Way.
Crack, share and feast on an abundance of seasonal shellfish, house-made sauces and Cajun spice.
Rooted in Louisiana. Refined in Brighton.
Rooted in Louisiana tradition, our seafood boils are made for sharing, celebrating and getting your hands dirty.
We’ve taken the classic Cajun boil and given it a little Velvet Crab refinement: seasonal crustaceans and molluscs, piled generously onto the plate with house-made sauces, spices and all the flavour of the Deep South.
And yes, things can get messy. We’ll bring you aprons, gloves, crab picks, crackers and hammers. The rest is up to you.
Hands on. Messy. Abundant.
Our signature Smash and Crab sits at the heart of the seafood boil experience, with the Deluxe designed for two or more to share.
Build up your boil with add-ons, crack into the shells and pass everything around the table. It’s less a conventional seafood dinner and more a celebratory ritual; generous, sociable and designed to be enjoyed with friends and family.
Available throughout our opening hours. Reservations are recommended, but there’s no need to pre-order unless you're planning a larger group with a set menu.
