The Harbour Master Coffee House and Bar

Nestled right on the picturesque harbour side of Whitehaven, The Harbour Master Coffee House and Bar is a charming blend of cafe comfort and lively bar atmosphere that invites locals and visitors alike to unwind and indulge. This spacious and welcoming venue is perfectly positioned to offer stunning views as you enjoy a thoughtfully curated menu and a warm, inclusive environment.

The Harbour Master delights with an appealing selection of both classic and inventive dishes that pair beautifully with their licensed drinks.

Sweet tooths will find themselves enchanted by the rich, creamy Pumpkin Cheesecake or the indulgent Caramel Shortbread, while the Coffee Cake offers a perfect indulgence alongside a freshly brewed tea.

As one customer enthusiastically shared, “Where else could you get a crisp sandwich?!” showcasing the unique and thoughtful comfort food you'll enjoy here. Fans of classic British pub favourites will appreciate a refreshing Pint of Guinness perfectly paired with spicy Chilli Peanuts, creating a flavor harmony that keeps patrons coming back.
