It’s been a busy few months behind the scenes at Harbour House as we continue working to get our building and café back up and running following the significant water damage caused by the storms in August.

You may have spotted the industrial dehumidifiers working away in the café over recent months! These have played an important part in the restoration process, helping to carefully dry out the affected areas so that we can move forward with the next stages of repair work.

We’re pleased to share that the affected rooms have now dried out sufficiently for the next phase of work to begin! This will include replacing the ceiling insulation and carrying out the necessary repairs to get the café ready to welcome visitors again.

As Harbour House is a Grade II listed building, there are several important steps we need to follow to make sure all the work meets the necessary guidelines and protects the character of our historic building. This means the process can take a little longer, but it’s important that everything is done properly.

We’re also looking ahead to the café's next chapter and are excited to be in discussions with potential new café managers. While there is still work to do, we're hopeful that Harbour House Kitchen will be able to reopen in the new year.

We know it's been a long wait, and we really miss having the café as part of the daily life of Harbour House. We're looking forward to welcoming you all back, sharing a coffee and bringing this much-loved space back to life! 

Thank you, as always, for your continued patience and support. Keep an eye on our website and socials for further updates.
