The Driftwood Cafe & Restaurant

About

The Driftwood Cafe & Restaurant sits on the picturesque seafront of Blue Anchor, where the salty breeze and the West Somerset Railway’s steam whistles greet guests each morning. This family‑friendly, 1930s‑era landmark offers an enticing spread that starts with a famed breakfast menu served until 3:30 pm, featuring classics such as fish and chips, a pork and apple burger, and a selection of vegan and gluten‑free options. During the warmer months it even runs an ice‑cream kiosk, while our courtyard and sheltered verandah provide a relaxed spot to spot the nearby Dunster Castle and watch the line of steam locomotives stop right outside the café. Friendly dog‑walking and muddy‑walker welcome means it is a perfect stop for travellers, kids and locals alike.
