Canford Classics

Our kitchen pride themselves on using fresh, premium, seasonal ingredients and our chefs, have come up with some great dishes to reflect that, whether you're after an amazing classic or something a little more special.

Boot Off With Breakfast

You don't have to stay with us to join us for brekkie. We're poaching eggs, frying bacon, and brewing coffee every day from 8am, so join us for a hearty breakfast to kick-start your day.

The Perfect Sunday

Here at The Canford we pride ourselves on our Sunday roasts, and with our double yolked yorkies, crispy roast potatoes and lashings of gravy, our roast is set to rival all others.

Dine in Canford, Cliffs

Our dishes change as often as our trusty British weather (that is to say, quite often) so you’ll get little nibbles of excitement from our menu every time you visit. Plus, our Head Chef Sam and her kitchen brigade are always taking advantage of seasonal ingredients, so you’ll be tucking into the freshest asparagus in Spring, the most plump blackberries in Summer, dining on game-y goodness in Autumn, and enjoying the nourishing root veggies in the Winter.

Our pub is spot-on for any dining occasion; from a hearty Full English or brunch-y dish in the morn, to a light lunch in the pub garden, succulent meat on Sunday’s, and every gorgeous mouthful in-between.

Take a peek at our menus below and be sure to book a table for the best seats in the house..
