 On May 27th, 2006, the
Cape Forchu Lightstation opened its doors for the season with a new
addition, the Mug Up Tea room. The 20 seat cozy dining area in the
lightkeeper’s original dining room, overlooks the Yarmouth Harbour and
the Atlantic Ocean. It has welcomed tourists and many locals who have
enjoyed all the home made delights that our cook, Gail, prepares from
scratch – often referred to as “comfort foods.” Our home made bread
pudding topped with warm caramel sauce along with our pumpkin chocolate
chip muffins have become just as popular as our cold lobster sandwich
served with potato chips. Countless people prefer to have us pack their
lunch so that they can relax and listen to the surf at one of our many
picnic tables overlooking endless seas.
Book your event today and we’ll help tailor a menu that is to your
liking. Imagine an outside BBQ or roasting hot dogs on a bonfire at
sunset or a lobster boil while watching the unpredictable waters
crashing against the rocks. Whether you are booking a birthday party,
tour group, office party, wedding or sunset dinner, the experience will
be unique and memorable.
On Sunday mornings, we’ll be serving breakfast from 8:30 to 11:00.
For reservations, private bookings or to enquire about our daily
specials, please contact us by phone at 742-4522 or email
yarlighthouse@eastlink.ca.
Wireless Internet available for our guests.
We look forward to serving
you by the sea!

A “Mug Up” with Friends
The term
"Mug Up" was used in coastal communities by the mid-1800s to
describe any snack or coffee break throughout the day or evening.
“Mug ups" were an important part of
life for fishermen. They would gather and have a hearty meal and
warm up whenever they could take a break. Today, this nautical
expression still describes a gathering of people for a drink and
meal so join us at this beautiful ocean’s edge for a Mug Up! |
