Prime Beachfront Location

Nestled right on the sands of Pembroke Beach along Guernsey's northern coast, The Beach House commands panoramic views across Pembroke and L'Ancresse Bays. This prime positioning makes it a natural hub for visitors enjoying the beach, with indoor and outdoor seating options that capture the sea breeze and crashing waves. The terrace provides sheltered spots even on windier days, while the interior offers a high-ceilinged, airy space perfect for escaping rain or seeking shade.

Diverse All-Day Menu

The menu caters to every meal and craving, from morning coffees and breakfasts on weekends to hearty lunches and evening dinners. Highlights include fresh sandwiches like the steak ciabatta with rocket and red onion marmalade, the indulgent Lobster Club, and hot options such as BBQ chicken melts or tuna melts. Seafood shines with Pembroke Seafood Chowder and grilled fish, alongside Thai green curry, peri-peri chicken, Caesar salads, and battered cod with mushy peas. Children's portions under 12 are available at £6.95, with larger adult sizes on request. Takeaways allow picnics on the beach.

Drinks and Quality Focus

Complementing the food is a strong drinks selection featuring Lavazza coffees—cappuccinos, lattes, espressos—alongside teas like Earl Grey and herbal varieties. Wines range from house Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot to premium options like New Zealand Pinot Noir and French Champagne. Beers, soft drinks, and ice creams round out choices for all ages. The kitchen efficiently handles high volumes, serving 300-500 daily from a compact setup, prioritizing consistent quality over complex dishes like poached eggs.
