Headlands Family Restaurant and Cafe Bar

About

Headlands Family Restaurant & Cafe Bar sits majestically on the Yorkshire Heritage Coast, overlooking the dramatic chalk cliffs of Flamborough Head. With a panoramic clifftop terrace, diners can enjoy spectacular sea views while sipping hot coffee, indulging in freshly‑made fish & chips, or sampling a variety of locally‑sourced specials such as steak pie and Whitby scampi. The restaurant’s recent refurbishment has added a sun‑lit Orangery and an ice‑cream kiosk, making it a popular meeting point for families, coach parties, and school trips. In addition to traditional dining, a full‑licensed bar serves a range of beers, wines and spirits, and a dedicated gift shop offers beachwear, souvenirs and a selection of regional merchandise. Beyond the restaurant, the location is a gateway to an array of attractions: the historic Flamborough Head Lighthouse with guided tours up its 119 steps, the RSPB Bempton Cliffs Reserve, the Living Seas Centre, and the medieval Sewerby Hall & Gardens. Whether you’re in search of a leisurely lunch with a view, a family outing, or a day of bird‑watching and coastal walks, Head ‘Lan’s provides an inviting backdrop against the vast North Sea. The restaurant operates year‑round, with flexible hours that can adjust for inclement weather; guests are encouraged to call 01262 851020 for the latest opening times and to book larger parties in advance.
