Barton on Sea · the Hampshire coast
Fuss-free modern British food, a cracking drinks list and six sea-view rooms — perched above Christchurch Bay with The Needles on the horizon.
Muddy StilettosThe menus
Led by Jimmy and his team, the kitchen uses local, seasonal ingredients for a creative, contemporary menu in relaxed surroundings. Keep an eye on the specials board — baking, butchery and local fish are where they shine. Here's a taste; the full menus are on the Eat page.
Served Monday to Friday 12 – 2.30pm & 5.30 – 9pm, Saturday 12 – 9pm, Sunday evenings 6 – 9pm.
Sundays 12 – 4pm · two courses £30, three courses £35. Sample menu — it changes with the seasons.
Roasts come with roast potatoes, roasted roots, spring greens, leeks and gravy.
For the little ones, all day. Mains come with a juice.
Order food and drinks at the bar — just take note of your table number. Sarnies 12 – 5.30pm.
A taste of the list — the full wine, gin and cocktail menus are at the bar.
