The Boat Shed Cafe

About

The Boat Shed Café, a charming seaside eatery that began its life as a humble lock‑up for those who made a living from the sea, has been transformed into a nautical‑themed culinary spot that offers uninterrupted views of Lulworth Cove. Nestled on Main Road in West Lulworth, the café serves breakfast, light lunches, daily specials, homemade cakes, and a signature Dorset cream tea. A seasonal menu featuring fresh fish dishes—including calamari and a seasonal mezze platter—draws both locals and visitors seeking local flavors. Guests can enjoy their meals alfresco on the terrace, taking advantage of the sunny coastal climate, or inside the cosy, ocean‑inspired interior. The café is fully licensed to serve alcohol, making it a convenient spot for a relaxed drink after a day of exploring the Jurassic Coast. Opening hours are 8:30 am–4:00 pm, Monday through Sunday, with the kitchen operating on weekdays until 2:30 pm and on weekends until 3:00 pm. For private functions or general enquiries, the café can be reached at 01929 400810. The space remains a popular choice for families, couples, and solo travelers who appreciate a relaxed dining atmosphere topped with spectacular sea views.
