What Do We Do In The Winter?

Since The Lobster House is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, customers often ask us what we do during the other three seasons. Many of are staff are students, and will head back to school around Labor Day. Brianna, Alley, Tiffany, Ant, Tim, Matt, Kurt, Rhett, Stephanie, Rob, and CJ are just a few of our staff members gearing up to go back to school. Jeff, Andrew, Sam, Nellie, and Tony will all be working in the Midcoast area. Cindy will head to sunny Florida for the winter months. Kathy will go back to teaching at a Connecticut boarding school. Dawn and Eric return to Utah, where they work for Alta Ski Lift Company. Stop in and visit them at Watson Shelter if you are in the area!

The Lobster House Family

You often hear people talk about loving their jobs. Here at The Lobster House, enjoying your job (and the people you work with) is a way of life! We have folks on staff who were first hired in 2004, 1998, even 1986! In fact, we generally have very little hiring to do at the beginning of each season because most of our staff comes back each summer!

What do we all do in the winter? Come back on Friday and read the next post!

Did you know that Eric is the only one who knows the exact recipe for our famous cole slaw dressing? Dot taught him how to make it in 2003.

Please note that we are hosting a private party the evening of Saturday, August 7th, and that our seating that evening will be extraordinarily limited. Please call ahead before you try to join us that evening. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Did you know about our efforts to be green? We compost our food waste and recycle all of our glass and plastic containers and cardboard. We do a lot of “to go” business, so we use takeout packaging that is made from recycled materials. We are trying to reduce our carbon footprint (and support local businesses) by purchasing produce and flowers from local farmers. Stop in at The Lobster House and let us know you appreciate our efforts!
