LobsterCabin

Lobster's connected script gives food-and-drink branding its signature warmth; Cabin's humanist proportions keep menus and labels readable. A go-to pair for hospitality.

Open daily. From eight.Welcome

Come in, sit down, stay a while.

Asmall hotel of fourteen rooms, a restaurant that serves what the kitchen wants to cook, and a bar that closes when the last guest is ready to go to bed. The pairing carries the menu, the welcome card, the spa schedule, the in-room directory, and the wine list, all in the same hand.

By the front desk

Stay.

Set in Lobster, with body in Cabin.

Fourteen rooms across two floors of a building that has been a guesthouse since the eighteenth century. Breakfast is served until eleven. The kitchen reopens at six. The bar takes its last order whenever the night ends. We do not have a check-out time we enforce.

“The best hotels read like the best magazines: every page rewards the time you give it.”

What's on the menu tonight

The chef writes the menu the morning of service, based on what arrived from the market and the farm. There are five starters, six mains, three desserts, and a single wine pairing the sommelier has chosen for the table.

Dinner. From six until late.

Numerals matter. Lobster’s figures sit cleanly alongside Cabin in tabular contexts and reading text both. You can use them in dashboards, annual reports, and pricing tables without retreating to a separate face.
