About

Custom House Poole is a celebrated Grade II* listed Georgian landmark that dates back to the early 18th century, now transformed into a vibrant bistro and bar overlooking Poole Quay. Visitors are treated to panoramic views of the harbor and the nearby Brownsea Island, while the restaurant presents a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere with extensive vegan, vegetarian, and seafood options. During the summer months, the venue adds another layer of charm with live music performances every Thursday, aligning with Poole’s fireworks celebrations that evenings add a festive glow to the quay. The historic ambience, paired with contemporary culinary delights, makes Custom House a must‑visit destination for food lovers, music fans, and curious history enthusiasts alike.
