It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and designer, Luke Lobley. He is being laid to rest today.

If you’ve ever stepped foot in the Shack, you’ve met Luke. For 15 years, he wasn’t just “our designer”— he was the visual voice of everything we built. From the original Rum & Crab Shack: Rums, Dead Mans Fingers & Stargazy and festivals from Port Eliot to Bestival
Luke was with us from the very beginning—15 years of collaboration, late-night ideas, and a friendship that blurred the lines between work and family. He was a pillar for us and a constant, brilliant creative presence in our journey . Luke helped us dream up the very world of the Shack—from the first sketch to the icon it has become.

He turned our ideas into the unique brands including Dead Mans Fingers and Stargazy, and he did it with a talent that was truly unmatched. To say he will be missed is an understatement; he is woven into the very walls of this business and the spirit of the Rum & Crab Shack family.

Rest easy, Luke. Thank you for everything.

The Cornish King Crab has landed! 🦀

Spider crab season has officially hit us here in Cornwall, and we’ve got them fresh at The Rum and Crab Shack.

Did you know? For years, the “Spider Crab” name carried a bit of a stigma, which meant a staggering 85% to 95% of the Cornish catch was shipped straight to Spain and France where they are prized as a luxury delicacy.

To help us Brits realize what we were missing, they were officially rebranded as the Cornish King Crab in 2021. We think the new name fits perfectly—the meat is sweet and delicious.

We’re on a mission to keep these beauties on home soil! Come in and try them for yourself while the season lasts. You’ll be getting a taste of a global delicacy while directly supporting our local St Ives fishery.
See you at the Shack! 🌊
