Mudeford
There has been an alehouse here in Mudeford from as early as 1699, but it gained real notoriety in 1784 when the Battle of Mudeford was fought between local smugglers and Customs Officers – and here we are still serving fine ales, delicious coffee and fine food to locals, visitors, sailors and the occasional pirate!
Not only a site of great historical interest but also a hive of activity with events such as the RNLI Funday and the annual Blue Light Day, it’s a perfect spot for crabbing, paddling, kite surfing, paddleboarding or just watching the world go by.
Sundowner Terrace
After a long day on the beach or walking around the headland, watching the sun go down over Christchurch Harbour with a pint of Ringwood 49er or a locally distilled Conker Gin and tonic is one of Mudeford’s greatest pleasures.
Our views
The Needles
From the café and the terrace, the view of the famous Needles on the Isle of Wight is framed by Avon Beach to the left and Mudeford spit to the right. A perfect spot to watch the boats.
Christchurch Harbour
Always a hive of activity this is best viewed from the Sundowners Terrace. With the RNLI station and the Sailing Club station right next door and the ferry to the spit 50 yards it’s a ‘haven’ for boat watching.
Hengistbury Head
One of the most beautiful coastal locations on the South Coast with amazing views, wonderful wildlife, the most expensive beach huts in the world (probably) and perfect sandy beaches. Most trips start and finish from the Quay.
Avon Beach
One of the most popular beaches in the area with miles of sand and sweeping views, we are perfectly located by the largest car park in the area.
