Driftwood Cafe

Driftwood Cafe sits right on the seafront at Blue Anchor, between Minehead and Watchet, making it a handy refuelling stop for coast path walkers, rail visitors and beach days. Dogs are welcome inside the cafe as well as on the sheltered verandah, so you can settle in together whatever the weather throws at you.

The menu runs from breakfast through to fish and chips and other hot dishes, served until 3pm every day. It's the sort of place where muddy walkers are expected rather than tolerated and nobody minds a sandy dog under the table.

With the beach a few steps away and Blue Anchor station close by, Driftwood Cafe works well as a mid-walk break or a post-beach debrief. The sheltered verandah is particularly useful when the sea breeze picks up but you still want to watch the waves.
