It’s World Car Free Day! 🌱 Why not leave the car at home and enjoy a greener way to visit The Castle Pantry at Highcliffe Castle?

Cycle along the coast, hop on the bus, or enjoy a leisurely walk along the beach before stopping by for a well-earned coffee, a delicious bite to eat or a little something sweet. ☕🍰

And the best part? Your four-legged friends can join you too! 🐾 We’re dog-friendly, so there’s no need to leave them at home.

Wonderful beach walks, fresh sea air, good food and your dog by your side. The perfect way to spend a day at the coast. 🌊🐶

From closed café to Dorset Tourism Awards finalist! We've been named a finalist in the Café & Tearoom of the Year category Tourism Awards - South West 🎉

Since reopening in 2024, we’ve loved bringing the café back to life and creating a place to enjoy great food, seasonal treats and plenty of special moments, all in the beautiful setting of Highcliffe Castle

A huge thank you to our wonderful team and to everyone who has visited, supported and cheered us on along the way. ❤️

We can’t wait to celebrate with some of Dorset’s best hospitality businesses on 22 October!

Important Notice: BBQ cancelled on Sunday 23rd August

Due to the elevated National Fire Risk, we have made the unfortunate decision to cancel this Sunday's BBQ. We are so lucky to be located in an incredibly beautiful area, and protecting our local environment and community will always come first.

We apologise for any inconvenience this causes, and appreciate your help in keeping our surroundings safe.

The Pantry will still be open as usual for your weekend coffee, lunch and treats.
