The art of curated hospitality venues

Established 2026

Quay Hospitality Group

Quay Hospitality Group consists of a family of distinctive, independent venues across the south coast united by a shared belief in brilliant hospitality, quality food and drink, and the kind of genuine warmth that makes guests feel truly at home.

Each venue in the group has its own character and community, but all share the same founding principle: bring a place back to its heyday and keep it there. Great atmospheres, great people, great experiences.

Our Chapters

A Journey Along the Coast

From our first pub to multiple venues spanning Dorset and the Isle of Wight

2022

Thomas Tripp, Christchurch

We relaunch this pub following a very successful run by the previous owners but transform it to become the premier live music venue in the area and establish it as a thriving community hub in Christchurch.

Bodega Christchurch is launched

Just down the road from Thomas Tripp, we open our first completely unique Tapas and late bar destination venue, rooting the group in the town's harbourside life.

The Smugglers
2025

The Smugglers

This venue was in dire need of revitalisation. We took it over and completely transformed it with a new outside bar area, fantastic games room and lounge and brought it back with some old school charm.

2026

Eighteen Bar & Restaurant

Situated within The King's Arms Hotel in Christchurch, we launched our boldest venture yet with a completely refurbished interior and locally sourced produce for a brand new dining experience including late night jazz and cocktails.

Salty's Yarmouth

Salty's Yarmouth opens on the Isle of Wight. Our sixth venue and the group's first island address serving the freshest fish possible. A new coastline, same heartbeat.
