Solent Venues

Set in our home marina, Lymington Yacht Haven, the Haven Bistro overlooks the water and always has a ‘buzz’ of activity. With plenty of space inside and a large balcony covered with heaters in the evening, the Haven caters not just for foodies but also enjoys a busy night life as one of the most popular bars in town. The Haven Bistro’s food achieves a consistently high standard, a great testament to Helen and her team and, as ever, an advert for owner operated venues.

The most requested lunch / dinner destination on the Solent, we are inundated with enquiries each year with clients wanting to be dropped of and collected by our Ribs. Part of the venue’s charm is that it has created a wonderful impression that you can only get there by sea, which adds an exciting element to the whole experience. The Hut is now so popular that you will almost certainly have to book months in advance for a weekend table during peak season, unless you ‘luck out’ and catch a last-minute cancellation.

A 17th century townhouse (formerly the governor’s residence) just a stone’s throw away from Yarmouth Harbour. The George sits between Yarmouth Castle and the pier with the delightful, sheltered garden running down to the pebble beach. The George is ever popular; it competes squarely with the Hut as stunning venue for long lazy summer lunches. Neither venue suits those in a rush. Enjoy the excellent food, the beautifully laid out Italianate gardens, the wonderful view and the ambience.

The Clubhouse overlooks the entrance to Cowes Harbour set on the hill above the Royal Yacht Squadron, giving spectacular views across the Solent. The venue is a favourite location for larger corporate groups, and they specialise in excellent BBQ style buffet lunches. The terrace area provides ample space for private bookings. Recently we transformed the terrace into a chic and stylish venue for our client ‘Red Bull’.

Built in 2017, Southampton Harbour Hotel has quickly and convincingly filled a void for a ‘destination’ hotel in the City. Extraordinary architecture combines with an unbeatable waterfront location within Ocean Village Marina, and an aspirational management team, to make a deservedly popular destination. Try the ‘Jetty’ restaurant specialising in seafood or head to the rooftop bar and bistro ‘HarBAR’, with great views over Southampton Water and serving wood fired pizza by outdoor fire pits.
