Come down and join us celebrating the King’s Birthday with the last long weekend of the year!
Whilst we don’t need to excuse to throw a party, an extra day off seems like a great reason. The festivities will place on 4th and 5th October from 3pm until late.
Our ‘teepee’ barbecue will be back with our chefs creating delicious dishes alongside our bar tapas and pizza menu. Enjoy your favourite cocktails from our pop-up bar while watching the sun set over the marina.
It will be a weekend of fun with live music so please come with your best dancing shoes because we will want to see you on the dance floor.
If you miss a true Salt House style party, you cannot miss this – free entry and family friendly. We can’t wait to see you there.
