A Yarmouth harbour institution reimagined — run by passionate South Coast locals
This blue and white building on Quay Street has been catching sailors, smugglers and slightly too thirsty locals since it was a working sail loft, back when the only spirit on offer was the will to survive a sketchy Solent crossing.
The ropes and canvas are long gone, replaced by something far more useful: a proper drinks list and cracking food to boot.
Downstairs is where the party lives, with long tables to dance on, ceilings to write on and live music on Saturdays. Upstairs, the same hospitality and the same mischief arrive with linen napkins and fresh, local seafood that’s worth coming back for.
Wherever guests land, one rule applies: you’re on island time now. Drink well, stay a while and let Salty’s do what it has always done best: entertain.
Everything starts with Yarmouth. The menus, the atmosphere and the attitude at Salty’s are inseparable from the harbour town it lives in.
Sustainably sourced seafood, carefully chosen wines and a bar team who pour fast and well with a sense of humour thrown in. Nothing is left to chance, apart from what happens after the second Mai Tai.
Salty’s has always been more than a restaurant. Locals, sailors and ferry-hoppers have been ending up here for generations and the door is still open.
