‘The Castle Pantry’ Tea Rooms Grand Reopening at Highcliffe Castle
The newly refurbished ‘Castle Pantry’ Tea rooms are due to officially open fully on August 22nd. Since mid-July, visitors have enjoyed a preview of the tea rooms’ offerings, but the official launch promises a delicious menu featuring hot meals, traditional high tea, and delightful cream tea, available daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.
After being closed since 2022, Adventure Attractions have taken over the running of the business and extensive renovations have been carried out to ensure ‘The Castle Pantry’ has a fresh new look, blending the charm of a traditional British tea room with modern comforts. Originally built in the 1950s for Claretian monks, the space was later transformed into public tea rooms in the late 20th century. Now, it stands ready to welcome guests into its warm, inviting atmosphere once again.
Chris Liddard, General Manager of ‘The Castle Pantry’ Tea Room expressed his gratitude for the community’s support, saying, “We have been incredibly happy with the response and warm welcome received so far and are excited for our official launch.”
Highcliffe Castle, known for its rich history and breathtaking scenery, continues to attract both local visitors and tourists. Chris continued, “We are excited to welcome locals and tourists alike and aim to delight our visitors with our delectable food options.
“The Castle Pantry will also serve as a versatile venue for various events, from intimate gatherings to community functions.
“By collaborating with local suppliers like the award-winning Shelley’s Bakery, which was recently recognised as one of the top five bakers in BCP, the tea rooms ensure high-quality products for their patrons.
“To foster a sense of community, ‘The Castle Pantry’ has introduced a loyalty reward card for regular visitors and is inviting local groups and clubs to consider hosting meetings or small events at the tea rooms. We are keen to become a key local community hub.”
