Angry Crab Shack

Restaurant Near Soho

At Angry Crab Shack, we’re all about bold flavours, deliciously messy fun, and some truly unforgettable seafood boils. Inspired by the deep South of America, our menu brings the very best of Cajun and Asian flavours together, creating a unique fusion that’s packed with spice, heat, and soul. Our signature seafood boils are designed for sharing, served straight to your table in steaming, sauce-soaked bags filled with fresh crab, lobster, shrimp, and more. Whether you like it mild or fiery hot, we’ve got the perfect combination of flavours, seasonings, and spice levels to suit every taste.

As a fairly new Soho restaurant and London resident, we’re passionate about bringing the authentic seafood boil experience to the heart of London. You’ll find us at 19a Rupert Street,  perfectly placed to enjoy Soho’s buzzing nightlife, catch a West End show, or simply explore one of London’s most exciting neighbourhoods. Whether you’re cracking into crab legs, dunking bread into buttery garlic sauce, or raising a glass with one of our signature cocktails, we’re here to bring a little slice of Southern hospitality to the city!

Soho

Soho is one of London’s most famous and dynamic districts. Situated in the heart of the West End, Soho is bordered by Oxford Street, Regent Street, Leicester Square and Charing Cross Road. Here, you’ll find a buzzing hub of entertainment, shopping, and dining, attracting visitors from all over the world. 

Just like the American South, historically, Soho has been a melting pot of creativity and counterculture. In the 20th century, Soho became the heart of London’s music and fashion scene, with legendary venues like the Marquee Club and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club playing host to some of the biggest names in music. Over the years, Soho has also been known for its bohemian spirit, attracting artists, musicians, and free thinkers to its streets. Today, it’s still one of London’s most exciting neighbourhoods, packed with trendy bars, boutique shops, and late night hotspots… just like Angry Crab Shack

Restaurant near Soho

No other restaurants in Soho do seafood quite like us. Bringing a true taste of the American South right to the heart of London, we offer an experience that’s just as much about the fun as it is about the food.

With boil bags dumped directly onto your table, we want everyone to get stuck in and experience the sheer joy of cracking into fresh seafood and dunking it into even better, buttery sauces.

To begin your Angry Crab Shack experience, start by choosing from a range of ready-made boil bags, packed with the freshest seafood like Snow Crab, Brown Crab, lobster tail, head-on shrimp, naked shrimp, mussels, scallops, and clams.

Once you’ve picked the contents of your bag, it’s time to sauce it up and spice it to perfection. Whether you go for our buttery Garlic Sauce, the fiery kick of Cajun, the zesty punch of Lemon Pepper, or the fan-favourite Trifecta, every bite is packed with bold, mouthwatering flavours you’ll crave again and again. Alternatively, you can go fully bespoke and build your own boil from scratch! Hand pick your seafood, add in sides like corn, potatoes, Cajun sausage, white rice, or dipping bread, and choose your perfect spice level, from the mild No Likey Spicy all the way to the tongue-tingling Carolina Reaper. Whether you’re dining solo, sharing with a friend, or sizing up a feast for the whole table, you’re in control of every delicious detail at Angry Crab Shack. 

Moving on to the actual eating, we give you everything you need to dig in, get messy, and make the most of your meal. With bibs, gloves, cracking tools, and plenty of helpful tips from our staff, you’ll be fully equipped to crack, peel, and demolish your seafood boil with ease. But if this is your first time, don’t worry, our team is always on hand to help you master the art of the perfect crab leg crack!

While we are all about the boils, if someone at the table isn’t in the mood for one, that’s no problem, we’ve got plenty of other tasty choices to indulge in. Sink your teeth into a juicy cheeseburger, enjoy the rich flavours of our Cajun Lobster Roll, spice things up with our Spicy Fried Chicken Burger, or go a little lighter with our ACS Salad. 

View Our Drink Menu

Whether you’ve been with us before or are teeing up your first visit to our Soho restaurant, we promise the flavours will be bold, the spice is always optional, and the drinks always flowing. Whether you’re cooling off after diving into a fiery seafood boil or just looking to raise a glass and enjoy the Soho vibes, our drinks menu is packed with choices. From fruity cocktails and refreshing mocktails to ice-cold beers and smooth wines, we’ve got something for everyone.

Our cocktails are crafted to bring a Southern-inspired twist to your table, each one complementing the rich, saucy flavours of our sumptuous seafood boils. The Love Shack, made with lemon vodka, raspberry liqueur, pineapple juice, and lemon-lime soda is the perfect compliment to a saucy boil – a little sweet, a little tangy, and totally delicious. If you’re not in the mood for booze, that’s no problem, our mocktails are just as fun, flavourful, and refreshing.  Moving on to the rest of the menu, sometimes, nothing pairs better with crab legs or a Cajun-spiced boil than a cold beer or a crisp cider. Luckily, we’ve got a selection of bottled and draft beers, ranging from light, refreshing lagers to full-bodied ales that hold up to our bold flavours and provide a super satisfying sip alongside a beautiful, bold boil.
