"Hearty seafood platters, tender BBQ chicken thighs, and sweet Spanish-style rice are just some of the deliciously messy things you can find at this American-inspired Camden favourite. Trap Kitchen’s menu has a ‘bucket’ which very much speaks our language. Get it with the lobster tails and make sure you also order bang bang prawns, spicy mac and cheese, buttered corn and egg. Basically, arrive hungry." - rianne shlebak
"On Trap Kitchen’s menu of soul food-inspired classics, the star of the show is the XXL lobster tails that are so meaty and so perfectly juicy that we’d brave even the worst weekend crowds. It’s one of the best spots for a deeply satisfying seafood fix. This Camden spot has two levels—the ground floor has intimate booths and upstairs is where we’d go for a date night that starts with BBQ chicken wings and ends with a nap. It’s a popular place so book ahead and come with an empty stomach." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Sometimes you just need to get down and dirty with a couple of lobster tails. Trap Kitchen understands this. That’s why their seafood bucket comes with a pair of throwaway gloves. The restaurant serves excellent New Orleans-inspired classics, but the star of the show is their XXL lobster tails that are so meaty and so perfectly juicy that we think about them at least four times a day, every single day. This Camden spot is one of the best places for an affordable yet deeply satisfying seafood fix." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager
"“This wondrous array of deeply satisfying fried stuff arrives on a glistening tinfoil-covered tray that has convinced me once and for all that there are many readings of Rihanna’s ‘shine bright like a diamond’ lyrics. Seriously meaty lobster tails and XXL bang bang prawns, Trap Kitchen are masters at doing exceptional seafood dressed down in its casual best.” — HLB" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"A place that serves buttery lobster tails, bang bang prawns, and Oreo waffles all together is a place that respects your choice to rock up in jogging bottoms. Because we’re pretty sure even Ethan Hunt wouldn’t accept a mission to conquer the £50 bucket at this seafood-led Camden spot in slim-fit jeans. Get the heavily buttered corn and show it the respect it deserves, tear the tangy BBQ chicken thighs to pieces with your mitts, and refer to your dominant hand as ‘the crab claw’. After all, who needs a cutlery middle man when you’re getting down and dirty with the juiciest XXL lobster tails this city has to offer?" - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
