What are the lobster placemats for?

They are A3 placemats that show how to eat a lobster, step by step. They are ideal when guests have never tackled a lobster before, keeping the meal relaxed and the table a little tidier.

What is the difference between paper and laminated?

Paper mats are disposable, so you simply throw them away after a messy shellfish meal. Laminated mats are wipe-clean and reusable, which suits regular seafood nights. You choose the format at checkout.

What size are the placemats?

They are printed A3, giving plenty of room for a lobster and the illustrated guide, and they ship flat so they are ready to lay straight on the table.

Pack sizes run from 2 up to 50, so you can buy just enough for a dinner for two or a larger amount for events, parties or restaurants.

Do they arrive rolled up?

No. We ship the mats flat rather than rolled, so there is no need to flatten them out before use — they are ready to go.

Are they a good gift?

Yes. They make a fun, practical gift or table feature for anyone who loves lobster and seafood, especially paired with crackers, picks or shears.

They are a Down The Cove original design, created for real seafood meals rather than bought in as a generic product.

Can I reuse the paper version?

The paper mats are intended as single-use and get messy during a shellfish feast, so they are best thrown away. For reuse, choose the laminated wipe-clean option.

Good kit. Real people.
