Salt Bar
Salt Bar is open to all; step straight in from the High Street, welcoming residents settling in for the evening and non-residents just passing through Lymington and the New Forest. Pop in for a light bite or settle in for a casual feast after a busy day.
Relaxed and informal, our comfortable yet stylish bar features exposed brick walls, a crackling log burner, and warm décor with soft furnishings that come together to create a truly cosy atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to linger over a glass of something special, share an excellent bottle of wine or simply curl up with a good book by the fire.
Salt Bar is the ideal spot to slow down and enjoy the moment, any time of day, wherever your day has taken you.
Open daily from:
Monday – Thursday – 12pm – 11pm
Friday – 12pm – 12am
Saturday – 10am – 12am
Sunday – 10am – 10.30pm
Salt Bar is available for walk-ins only
