Mid-July Update

What a terrific summer we are having at The Lobster House! It has been great to see so many familiar faces, we love our long-time customers! We’ve also enjoyed seeing new faces, folks who live in the area but have never ventured down into Small Point, or vacationers who are visiting the area for the first time. Showing Red Sox games on the flatscreen TV at the bar in the Shrimp Room has been a lot of fun for customers and staff alike. We continue to have live music on the weekends (Jud Caswell on 7/15, Married with Chitlins on 7/16, and Broadband on 7/17). Come see us for delicious seafood, cold beer, and a whole lot of fun!

What Do We Do In The Winter?

August 20th, 2010 | Link

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!

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 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!

July is in full swing!

We were so happy to see so many familiar faces and to make so many new friends over Fourth of July weekend! The campgrounds were busy and the locals were enjoying some time off.

TJ and Tony have been having a blast with folks at the bar in the Shrimp Room. Come in and see us…and let us know you saw our website!
