Lobster Box
Fresh Seafood Delivered to Your Door
There are few pleasures more memorable than enjoying the freshest Cornish seafood in the comfort of your own luxury cottage overlooking the Atlantic. At The Headland, we’ve partnered with Lobster Box Cornwall to deliver seafood to your door: beautifully prepared, sustainably sourced lobster and shellfish boxes crafted by Head Chef Cam and his team.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, planning a relaxed feast after a day exploring the coast, or simply wanting to experience Cornwall’s finest flavours without leaving your cottage, this is the easiest (and most delicious) way to do it.
What Is the Lobster Box?
The Lobster Box is a premium seafood experience carefully curated using the best local ingredients. Every box showcases the excellence of Cornish day-boat fishing, paired with chef-made accompaniments for a restaurant-quality meal that requires almost no preparation.
A typical Lobster Box for two includes:
- Whole fresh local lobsters
- An array of carefully curated sides
- LB Aioli
- Original flavoured lobster butter
All dishes are delivered chilled and ready to enjoy. For those who prefer their seafood warm, simple reheating instructions are included.
Price: £110 for two guests.
Available exclusively as an add-on for cottage guests.

Guest Reviews & Experiences
Our guests tell us time and time again how much they love the Lobster Box experience:
“A wonderful short holiday in one of the cottages, where we stayed on a self-catered basis.
This suited us ideally, allowing us to use the hotel's facilities and our own cooking, as well as the excellent Lobster Box.”
