Beachside Takeaway in Mudeford with Stunning Harbour Views
We are a beachside takeaway establishment with a rich history of serving the Mudeford community since 2003. Originally a chalet-style caf, we faced significant challenges following a fire in 2018 but remained resilient, adapting our operations to maintain service through a temporary outdoor setup during winter months and a global pandemic. Our commitment to providing fresh, locally sourced food in a relaxed environment has remained unwavering. We have since embarked on plans to rebuild a permanent venue that combines modern amenities with our original charm.As part of The Boathouse Group, we leverage collective expertise to deliver quality experiences. Our current offerings include a diverse menu of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks, complemented by a beach shop for essential items. We prioritise customer convenience with no booking requirements and first-come seating. Our location at Hengistbury Head offers stunning harbour views, accessible via eco-friendly transport options. We remain dedicated to enhancing our services while preserving the unique character that defines us.
