At the Somerford we’ve got everything you need for the perfect breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whether you fancy the best cut steaks, a delicious burger or some chilled drinks with friends, leave it to us to make your next meal near the seaside extra special.
Our team
We’re very lucky to have such a diverse and varied team, with our younger team members expertly mentored by our more experienced older team members. We know what our guests want from us, and our number one priority is making sure you have a brilliant meal with us.
Our location
You couldn’t ask for a better spot to explore Christchurch. We’re just a short drive from Christchurch Quay, Mudeford Quay and Highcliffe Castle. Our restaurant is actually built on the site of the historic Christchurch Airfield, which opened all the way back in 1926. While we can’t say we’ll lift off as well as the old Royal Navy Wessex helicopter that used to be on site in the 70s, we come pretty close.
We also have a special garden room on the first floor for buffets, parties and meetings. It’s the perfect space to host an event or a gathering.
Why we love Christchurch
Christchurch is one of Dorset’s most scenic seaside towns, with great links to Bournemouth, Southbourne and Mudeford beaches and historic Highcliffe Castle. It’s such a peaceful place to relax and unwind, and you’re spoilt for coastal views, amazing parks and river views.
After you’ve enjoyed the best meal in Dorset with us, you’re going to want to head down to some of the best beaches in Dorset only a short drive from our restaurant. The closest beaches are Southbourne Beach and Boscombe Beach, both just a 20-minute drive away. Highcliffe Beach is a Blue Flag beach with dreamy sands and beautiful views of nearby Highcliffe Castle.
If you’re thinking of things to do in the evening, take a trip to the Vitality Stadium for great games, the O2 Academy Bournemouth for great gigs or… well, you could just enjoy a great drink in our bar area too, our bar area has a brilliant atmosphere, and we have BT Sports on the TVs.
