Café Selection
You can enjoy dining in a Victorian Casemate or relax in our Parade Ground.
Each day, Fort View Café serves a delicious selection of freshly made hot and cold snacks, with cakes and scones made daily on site, using fresh and locally sourced produce. We are so lucky in Dorset to work with many wonderful local suppliers, including Baboo Gelato Ice Cream, Clipper Tea, Full Circle Coffee and locally made scones and cakes and baked goods.
See the Fort View Café menu to discover a range of tea, coffee, cream teas, breakfast baps, homemade soup, sandwiches, cakes, and much more.
We offer gluten free, vegetarian and vegan option. Please ask on the day.
We also offer water refills and free WiFi in the café.
The cafe is fabulous and worth visiting for that alone. Home made cake – yum.
