The Café

Important Information

As a site of significant historical value, Calshot has uneven surfaces throughout. Caution and sensible footwear are advised when driving and walking around the site.

Temporary maintenance

From 1 June 2026, pre-planned maintenance works will be taking place across the site and you may notice scaffolding and contractors for up to six weeks. There will be restricted access during this time whereby customers will not be able to enter the café via the rear access (beachside) doors. Please access the cafe via the Sunderland Hangar - dogs are permitted through the hangar to enter the cafe during this time. These improvements are part of an ongoing programme to ensure Calshot remains accessible and enjoyable for all our customers. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Situated within the Sunderland Hangar and offering truly spectacular views of the Solent, the Café at Calshot is the perfect place to enjoy a warming cup of coffee, a cake or light snack. Bottled beers, wines and soft drinks are available.

Whether you’re taking part in an activity, here to watch others or just passing by, nothing will be too much trouble for our friendly staff who will always give you a warm welcome.
