Our story
Seafood, crafted from Dorset’s natural larder.
Established in 1991, Hive Beach Café began as a small kiosk serving refreshments to visitors of the stunning Jurassic Coast. Our founder's vision was to create a place where people could enjoy the breathtaking natural beauty while savouring the freshest seafood caught just offshore.
Over the years, we've grown from that humble beach shack into a renowned dining destination, but our core values remain unchanged: a commitment to sustainability, supporting local fishermen, and providing an unforgettable dining experience.

Escape to one of our two delightful 16th century thatched cottages. Nestled in the heart of Burton Bradstock, each cottage is just a ten minute walk to the National Trust’s Hive Beach.
