Underfall Yard

04/09/2026

We’ve had a big tidy of Underfall Yard HQ, and decorated the office with some great local memorabilia and amazing models from further afield! Some of our tenants have been stopped in their tracks to take a look.

Do you recognise any of them? Which one is your favourite? Let us know in the comments.

What a blast we had last year during the Sea Shanty Shout; we can't wait to do it all over again this September 19th and 20th

A drink in one hand, a pasty in the other, all while singing along with friends and strangers in our Victorian boatyard. Free daytime entry on both days, plus a ticketed concert on Saturday night, where all proceeds go to charity!

Bristol Shanty Shout - 19th & 20th September 2026

It's beautiful…

Thanks to the wonderful penmanship from Willow, we have a brand-new drinks menu above our cafe counter. Hot drinks and Wogan Coffee Roasters on one side, and our bar drinks, including Bristol B**r Factory's finest, on the other.

Have a look for yourself and visit Underfall Cafe every day from 9am. All profits are donated to support the charitable objectives of the Trust.

Another day in paradise, where vessels are being worked on all around.

It’s almost like we’re a boatyard!

We have been overwhelmed by the support we have had for our Donate a Slate campaign. Since it started a few weeks ago, over 100 slates have been donated.

The slates have decorated with messages celebrating the Yard's rebuild and history, commemorations to family members, and even fun drawings from kids. These slates will be used on the roof of the Big Shed and adjoining workshops; forever being a part of our Victorian boatyard.

You have until the end of September to take part. Visit us at Underfall Cafe to purchase your slate in person, or visit our online fundraising page to send your message online for us to write.

Underfall Cafe has been listed as an EatDrink24/7 Panel Pick for the second year in a row by Bristol24/7

Zak Hitchman, Michelin-star chef and co-owner of OTHER in Bedminster, says: "Located in a working boatyard, come here for a coffee, sat outside right by the river, enjoy the lovely view and watch the world go by".

Every purchase at our cafe directly supports our charitable objectives of supporting the local maritime industry. Visit us every day of the week from 9am!
