A place to dine and unwind, Salt will offer a seasonal, all day dining menu at the water’s edge.  

LONDON 2023 | boatfolk is pleased to announce the launch of its latest venture, Salt, opening in the heart of Portland Marina (Dorset) this summer. Set to open in July, Salt is an all-day dining destination that combines the beauty of its waterside location with a delectable seasonal menu. The restaurant will cater to guests looking to refuel between activities or simply relax in the sun with a refreshing drink and a bite to eat. Salt’s menu features an enticing selection of locally sourced dishes to satisfy every craving, including seasonal fish fresh out of Portland Bay, festival-inspired burgers and luxury hot dogs, and pizzas from the mobile woodfired pizza pop-up, the Pizza Cutter.

Portland has earned its reputation as the ultimate “Après-Sea” destination. Inspired by this allure, Salt aims to recreate the magic of being at sea and infuse it into every aspect of its offering. Portland is a hub for the holiday spirit, and Salt is set to become a significant part of this extraordinary scene.

Among the signature burgers on offer, guests can indulge in the Chicken katsu burger, a breaded chicken breast topped with katsu curry sauce, the Salt burger, a mouth-watering beef burger loaded with bacon, a choice of cheese, and savoury sauces, or indulge in the Meat-free madness burger, a plant-based delight with dill pickle, crispy onions, vegan cheese, and homemade tomato relish.

On weekends, Salt will open the hatch of its pop-up pizza truck, the Pizza Cutter, ready to serve up a delicious range of al fresco wood-fired pizzas. Guests can savour delightful options such as the ultimate classic Margherita with fresh basil, sticky BBQ pulled beef, and oriental duck and spring onions. And on weekdays, visitors can still enjoy a slice of pizza from the kitchen at Salt, which will be offering a full selection of pizzas.

In addition to the culinary delights, the music offering at Salt adds another layer of excitement to the experience. The restaurant is committed to supporting local talent, providing a platform for acoustic performances during the day and energetic DJ sets by night. Guests can expect a lively atmosphere that perfectly complements the coastal ambiance.

Salt’s stunning waterside location in Portland Marina offers breath-taking views and serves as a magnificent backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant is perfectly situated to cater to the visiting boater and local community, embracing holiday makers and attracting those seeking a relaxed but vibrant dining destination.

Salt’s interior design is a testament to its dedication to creating an elevated and immersive environment. Eclectic designers have meticulously crafted enclaves of seating that flow inside and out, incorporating external wood burners and fire pits, distinctive seating with distressed leather, wooden tables complete with an indoor pergola and with a fetching boat installation hanging in the centre of the space; the relaxed and eye-catching interiors ensure that every visit to Salt is an unforgettable dining experience.

Supporting local suppliers and celebrating the region’s culinary offerings is a top priority for Salt. The restaurant proudly partners with esteemed establishments, including Dorset-based vineyard, Furleigh Estates and local distillery, Conker Spirits. From indulgent dishes to lively music sessions, Salt promises an unparalleled combination of exceptional cuisine, stunning waterfront views, and an atmosphere that captures the essence of a memorable holiday.
