The Lighthouse
The Lighthouse
Independent seaside bar and dining room on the sea front at Milford on Sea, looking out over Hurst Spit. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seated area on Hurst Road, where there is a patio and a row of high tables and stools used for takeaway orders such as fish and chips.
The menu runs from breakfast through to dinner with fresh, local dishes. A good pairing with a Hurst Castle walk – the path along the spit ends almost at the front door.
