A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A garden table above Mothecombe Beach
A characterful café and restaurant on the Flete Estate, with sourdough pizza, Mediterranean influences and the beach a short walk away.
School House sits in Mothecombe on the Flete Estate, close enough to the beach to fold a coastal walk into lunch. Its garden is full of texture: timber, planting, bright furniture and places to settle with a drink. The kitchen leans towards Mediterranean flavours, with its own breads, pasta and hand-stretched sourdough pizzas among the offerings. Menus shift with the ingredients arriving, so check the latest offering before setting your heart on a particular dish. This is a good choice when you want a beach outing with a proper meal at its centre. Book if lunch is the anchor of your plan, and follow the venue’s signed-road directions into Mothecombe.
