A harbour institution reimagined — where tradition meets a bold new chapter for the Isle of Wight's most beloved waterfront restaurant.
Salty's has long held a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Perched on Quay Street overlooking the gentle tidal rhythms of Yarmouth harbour, it became synonymous with exceptional seafood, warm hospitality, and that unmistakable feeling of the island at its finest.
Previously operated by AKA Restaurants — the group behind The Hut in Colwell Bay — Salty's earned its reputation as the go-to destination on the Isle of Wight's western coast. A place where the catch of the day was always impeccable, the wine list thoughtfully curated, and the sunsets over the Solent utterly unforgettable.
Now, a new chapter begins. Quay Hospitality Group has taken the helm, leasing the venue from Yarmouth Harbour Commission with a singular vision: to restore Salty's to its former glory while writing an exciting new future.
With a portfolio that includes The Thomas Tripp in Christchurch and Bodega wine bars across the south coast, Quay Hospitality brings deep expertise in revitalising iconic venues — always staying true to their roots while elevating the experience for a new generation of guests.
