How lovely it is to see the sun shining here in Mudeford this week, providing a glorious backdrop for our diners, with some starting to spill out on to our Jetty terrace for lunch overlooking the Harbour.

This year not only marks The Jetty’s two-year anniversary but also, for me, 30 years of cooking great food in this fantastic region. To celebrate we have been serving some of my classic dishes that although they appeared 30 years ago at Le Poussin still work today – including my Classic Prawn Cocktail.

Over at The Kings we’re enjoying a more relaxed approach to dining. With the emergence of Fun Dining, our guests can enjoy good food in good company, in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Our menus are fun, generous and above all, food you want to eat.

Celebrating the fantastic local produce on our doorstep, we continue to get out into the community to meet you, visiting local markets and small local producers to find what is great out there.

We want to know all the best produce this area has to offer, so if you know someone who can supply us with a cracking chutney, a joyous jam or a delicious duck – then let us know.
