We are open Monday to Sunday (closed on Mondays during the winter months) for counter service or takeaway from 10am to 3.30pm, offering barista coffee and other hot and cold drinks, delicious cakes, ice cream, chocolate, crisps, biscuits and other snacks. Hot pasties, savouries and sandwiches are available at lunchtimes.

The Café Lido as well as the Pool is run by Portishead Pool Community Trust, a volunteer led organisation, and the Café is run by supervisors assisted by a team of enthusiastic volunteers – we are always looking for more by the way! 

Our ethos is to be an inclusive café and to offer a variety of drinks and snacks, ice creams, cakes, sandwiches and hot snacks, as well as pool related merchandise and much of our stock is sourced from local suppliers. We aim to provide quality products at affordable prices to suit a range of tastes. If there is something you would like us to stock please mention it to one of our volunteers or staff.

The Café is now using to recyclable/compostable cups and containers for our takeaway service.

The Café is partly run by volunteers, although we also employ supervisors and provide work experience for young people and adults with special needs to gain valuable life skills. As always though, we need lots of volunteers to help keep this wonderful community facility running, so if you can spare a few hours for an occasional or regular shift please contact us on cafemanager@portisheadopenairpool.org.uk
