The Globe Pub, Highcliffe-on-Sea - Pub & Restaurant

The best pub in Highcliffe

A warm welcome is always served first at The Globe Inn in Highcliffe-on-Sea in Dorset. Followed by generous portions of the best pub food and an exciting variety of drinks, all served in a family-friendly, feel-at-home setting. 

The Globe Inn has a rich history dating back to the late 1880s when, as the heart of the community, The Globe Hotel was run for over fifty years by the Pack family. Considered one of the earliest family residents in the local area, John Pack (a local Farrier), his wife and eight children offered food, beverages and accommodation to locals and travellers. This tradition was continued by numerous other owners taking the establishment from a small wayside tavern to an entire hotel.  The Globe Inn pub retains its Victorian architecture features and its popularity with the local residents! 

And of course, when that south coast sun is out, all of our food and drink is best 

Our Location

A short walk takes you to award-winning beaches hosting views of Christchurch Bay and the Isle of Wight with its Needles rocks. The Globe is a centre point in the popular Highcliffe Arts and Food Festival which has taken place in June since 2014 and showcases local food and drink producers and artists.

A five-minute drive away is Grade 1, listed Highcliffe Castle. Popular for weddings, among other events, the mansion is home to lovely romantic architecture featuring mediaeval French masonry and ancient stained glass. The beautiful ground's paths lead you through Steamer Point nature reserve to Mudeford or, in the other direction, a zig-zag way down to the beach.

Historic Christchurch is a ten-minute drive away, steeped in history and plenty to see.  From the 14th-century ducking stool, past the ruins of Christchurch Castle and Constable's House, down to the stunning Priory. There are also lots of small shops perfect for exploring!

And if that’s not enough, The Globe Inn sits on the border of the New Forest National Park and over 40+ great walking and cycling routes, with fascinating wildlife (look out for the wild horses) and a selection of small villages to explore.

Paultons Park - Home of Peppa Pig World is a short 30-minute drive away for a fun family day out.  It is home to Peppa Pig World to keep the little ones entertained; however, there is plenty to keep the big kids entertained!

Our Favourite Dish 

Our Kitchen Manager recommends The Mixed Grill for anyone that is hungry and likes meat! It’s a meat-eaters dream with a 4oz steak, two pork sausages, half a chicken breast, and half a gammon steak. All served with beer-battered onion rings, grilled tomato, two fried eggs, garden peas and skin-on chips. And if you still feel like you’ve got room for more, you can upgrade your 4oz steak to an 8oz steak.
