Breezy Sunday lunch at the Beach Hut Cafe, Friars Cliff

After a morning of shifting sheds to make space for the studio/office we are planning for the garden, Simon was craving a local crab sandwich so we headed to the beach. Our local sands are Avon Beach, but a short stroll along the prom takes you to Friars Cliff, and the lovely Beach Hut cafe. The cafe is only tiny, but bright and cheerful and does a great all day breakfast, as well as crab sandwiches, all served with a fabulous view of the crashing waves.

We had Hamish the dog with us, so we had to sit outside with the wind nearly blowing us sideways, but a huge pile of chips and a frothy coffee or two kept us warm.

The cafe has won awards for its homemade produce and made it into the Guardian's Top 10 of beach cafes in the country, but it remains unpretentious and inexpensive - I think we could be spending a lot of our Sundays here from now on..
