Why visit The Captain’s Cabin?
Perched high above the rocky Anchor Head beach – once a ladies-only beach in Victorian times, you can gaze out across the Holm Islands and Birnbeck Pier, imagining shipwrecks, smugglers, and all the seaside stories that make the Somerset coast so captivating. If you love coastal scenery and you’re searching for scenic places to eat, this is one of those Weston-super-Mare experiences you’ll want to tell everyone about.
A pub that feels like a ship at sea
Go downstairs to the terrace and the fun continues. Through porthole windows, the waves glint below, and suddenly you feel like you’re aboard a ship. Everywhere you look, the nautical theme sails along with you – lobster pots hang above the bar, wooden ship wheels spin on the walls, and models of galleons lurk in every corner. It’s a Weston-super-Mare restaurant with sea views that makes dining feel like an adventure, without losing its warmth as a traditional English pub.
Food, drink, and atmosphere
Inside, the pub is three experiences in one. The dining rooms are light, bright, and perfect for soaking in the coastline while enjoying lunch or dinner. The traditional English bar invites you to linger with a pint or a coffee, while the stairs with their iconic portholes lead to the terrace and remind you you’re perched right above the sea. When the sun’s out, the tented bar and outdoor courtyard brings a Mediterranean beach vibe straight to Weston.
The menu balances classic pub favourites with fresh seafood and a Sunday roast that locals consistently rate among the best in Weston-super-Mare. This family-friendly venue also delivers gastro pub flair. Add in a pool table, acoustic evenings on Fridays, and “Pups and Pancakes” on Saturdays, and you’ve got a spot that’s as lively as it is scenic.
When to visit
Whether you’re chasing a sunset, hunting for the perfect seaside selfie, or just want a drink with a view that’ll make your friends jealous, this pub is a must-visit on the Somerset coast.
