The Hut

Set on the stunning coastline of Colwell Bay, you’ll find The Hut. Established in 2013, it’s grown from a laid-back beach bar loved by locals into one of the UK’s most iconic waterfront restaurants, known for its sun-soaked setting and buzzy vibe. Yes, the sea views across the Solent are spectacular, but it’s the atmosphere and the food that keep people coming back.

Positioned on the west coast of the Isle of Wight, just a short distance from Yarmouth and Lymington, The Hut feels like a holiday without the luggage. At its heart is simple, beautifully prepared food. The kitchen team have evolved, championing the best and freshest produce and letting quality ingredients shine. Dishes are unfussy yet unforgettable, and perfectly suited to long, leisurely lunches by the water.

Getting there is easy. There’s a complimentary shuttle from Yarmouth Harbour, so you can step off the ferry and go straight into holiday mode. Alternatively, park up at Colwell Chine Road and take a breezy stroll down, or hop on the Number 7 bus and let someone else do the driving.

If you’re looking for sunshine, salt air and standout food by the sea, this is the place.
