Christchurch’s lively Café Culture is often one of the first things you’ll notice when visiting. Commonly commented on for its heavily populated coffee stops, our town high-street contains on average a café every 35 feet! You might hear the odd phrase ‘not another one’ thrown about but you won’t hear any complaints from the many who come to Christchurch for their daily brew. As the words read outside the popular Cuckoo Café in Saxon Square; ‘We love to make coffee for the town who loves to drink it’. In Christchurch you certainly won’t be stuck for a caffeine fix.

Christchurch contains 14 different cafés on its highstreet alone, with options varying from familiar highstreet chains to specialist independent stores and everything in between. With many menus around town offering lunch time specials, Christchurch is also a great place to stop for lunch. The ever-popular pubs and restaurants pull a roaring trade from their lunchtime visitors.

Christchurch is a sure-fire place to find a good coffee or a bite to eat but there are several hidden gems that can be found on the outskirts of town as well.

Tuckton Highstreet is just a short walk South of Christchurch with links to Hengistbury Head and the coastal town of Southbourne. Here you’ll find quaint stretch of shops including cafés that offer just as good a brew as the bustling town centre.

Maybe you’re after a coastal view to go with your cuppa, well Christchurch’s beautiful coastline contains many great spots to stop at. The Beach House café on Mudeford sandspit is a popular place to rest up and take in views of Christchurch Harbour. Simply take the ferry over from Mudeford Quay or if you’re looking for a longer route you can access it on foot via Hengistbury Head.

At Avon Beach and Friars Cliff you can also find a beach side bite to eat with views over the Christchurch Bay. While further up the coast, the small village of Highcliffe contains various cafés and delis. For a special treat why not head to Highcliffe Castle for a classic afternoon tea and try one of their delightful scones. The gardens and clifftop scenery are an idyllic setting to add to your break.
