BREAKFAST & BISTRO BAR
A new, vibrant beachside bistro on Ventnor Esplanade, serving fresh, made-from-scratch food, premium coffee and relaxed drinks from morning through to late evening.

ABOUT
Launched in August 2026, Lobby is a vibrant beachside bistro on Ventnor Esplanade, created as the relaxed sister venue to Smoking Lobster Ventnor.
From premium Ozone coffee, house-baked Japanese milk bread and cooked breakfasts served until 11am, to wholesome, family-friendly dishes made entirely from fresh, zero-processed ingredients, Lobby is all about great food, quality produce and easy-going seaside dining.
As the day unfolds, stop by for a refreshing Froyo by the beach, settle in for lunch overlooking the sea, or stay into the evening as Lobby shifts into a relaxed late-night bar. Enjoy Frozen Aperol Spritzes, classic cocktails and sundowner drinks with panoramic views across the English Channel.
Whether you’re joining us for a morning fuel-up, a fresh lunch with the family or drinks by the sea, Lobby brings together good food, good drinks and the best of Ventnor’s beachfront in a laid-back, welcoming setting.


From a reviving morning coffee to sundowner cocktails, enjoy fresh small plates or a leisurely meal, all with laid-back beachside views.
