• Burger & Lobster avoids a war with KFC with the "Not a Bucket"

  

  A few weeks ago, Burger & Lobster proudly launched their limited edition lobster bucket which looked... a little familiar. One company who, it appears, wasn't too enamoured with the look of the bucket was KFC who got in touch with a little Cease and Desist order.

  Given this and a little legal advice, Burger and Lobster shifted away from their original look but have

• Burger & Lobster team up with Crosstown for a doughnut burger

  

  Thinking of going on a diet before the party season really kicks off? Then this really isn't going to help. Burger & Lobster are teaming up with Crosstown for a limited edition burger/doughnut crossover.

• Burger & Lobster unleash a limited edition lobster thermidor kit

• Burger & Lobster returns for delivery

  

  Next up on the comeback trail following lockdown is Burger and Lobster. They closed down originally just over a month ago, but now they've reopened their flagship Mayfair store (we're yet to hear if any more are due to open). 

  Obviously it's for delivery only, and while there's a limited menu on offer, Burger & Lobster has always had a limited menu. Right now it's their original burger (£15), the original 1.25lb

• Burger and Lobster unveil their own spicy lobster nuggets

  

  Inspired by the recent launch of McDonald's Spicy McNuggets (which are... not that spicy), Burger and Lobster have decided to do their own version. So they're launching Spicy Lobster Nuggets - but you'll have to know how to order them before you can get your hands on them. 

  They will be offering six lobster nuggets - made with chunks of fresh Atlantic lobster - in a spicy batter and paired with

• Pret is launching a lobster roll for Summer

   

  It had to happen someday - lobster rolls are so hugely popular in London that it was only a matter of time before Pret launched their own version. And now it's finally here - served up in their traditional baguette, not in the brioche roll that you might have expected. 

  We're told the roll will be "high-quality Maine Lobster, dressed with lemon chilli mayo, crispy cos lettuce and cucumber, all finished with a

• Burger and Lobster are serving up a caviar and lobster dinner in a gold four poster bed. For real.

  

  Sometimes we get a press release here at Hot Dinners where the only correct response is "I can't even...". That's firmly the category into which today's story from Burger & Lobster falls.

  They've installed a £3,000 four poster gold bed in their Soho restaurant. And for two weeks Londoners can book a three-course caviar and lobster dinner on the bed, which they eat while reclining in silk pyjamas.

  The meal kicks off with Veuve Cliquot and

• Burger and Lobster go all luxe KFC with their Double Drown lobster tail sandwich

  

  Most of you will have heard of the Double Down - the KFC burger where the buns are replaced by two fried chicken breasts with bacon sandwiched in-between. It's not the healthiest snack ever made.

  Now Burger and Lobster are about to unveil their luxe alternative - the Double Drown (we see what they've done there). It's described as "strips of thick cut, smoked pork complimented with
