Seadog Coffee Roasters roasts by the docks in Southampton, where it works with a small group of green coffee importers and roasts blends and single origins in small batches. Hoxton Offshore, a natural Catuai from Fazenda Serra Negra in Minas Gerais, is the house coffee it makes for a group of six bakeries across Hampshire and West Sussex run by the same team.

High Tide is the house espresso, a Brazilian coffee for shots and milk drinks, and Endeavour is a seasonal blend that changes as new crops arrive, currently Brazil Bossa Nova with a community lot from Tatacoa in Huila. Calm Waters is a sugarcane decaf from Popayán in Colombia. The single origins are roasted light for filter, such as a washed heirloom from Girma Tamiru’s farm in Idido, Ethiopia, and a washed Red Bourbon from the Mbare washing station in Rwanda’s Muhanga District.

On Saturday mornings the roastery opens as a pop-up, serving coffee with pastries and sourdough bread. Seadog also supplies teams, hospitality venues and shops across the UK, with training and equipment from startup set-ups to hotel operations, and it sends samples to businesses that want to try its coffee.
