There’s no better place to sit back and soak up the atmosphere here at RNLI College than at the Slipway Café Bar. Offering stunning panoramic views of Holes Bay in Poole Harbour, its waterside setting is the perfect place to enjoy a cool, refreshing Lifeboat Ale – locally brewed and exclusive to the college.
But if that’s not your tipple, we serve a variety of hot and cold drinks. And if you feel a little peckish, a selection of bar food and snacks are available too, including afternoon tea. Chill out with us, tinker on the piano or just sit and watch the world go by.
