Warmer weather, lighter evenings and al fresco dining all contribute to that holiday feeling. Add to that a breathtaking view, good food, drink and company and you’ll never want to leave. Our Islands are filled with places to eat outside, so whether sitting down to enjoy a long lunch with friends or a picnic on the beach with the family, you’ll find your perfect alfresco dining spot.


Al Fresco Dining

A Long Lunch in the Sun
Al Fresco RestaurantsThere is no need to rush a meal when you are on holiday. Order a bottle of rose and a few plates to share and enjoy each others’ company. With seafront restaurants like La Reunion along the coast and Pier 17 on the harbour, and peaceful gardens and terraces at hotels such as The Georgian in Alderney, Stocks Hotel in Sark and the Cobo Bay Hotel, you’ll never want to leave

Island Hopping Pubs
Island HoppingWhether you fancy a long lunch at a poolside bistro on Sark, a hearty meal on a pub terrace in Herm or a seafront bite in Alderney, there is always somewhere to sit outside and take in the views and atmosphere of the Islands, each unique in their own way.

Fish & Chips on the Beach
Fish & Chip ShopsA seaside classic. Pop to a coastal terrace for table service with a view or pick up from the nearest fish bar and head to the beach to get the full experiences. Locals like to sit against the sea walls as the granite warms throughout the day from the heat of the sun.
