Bar & Terrace
Welcoming guests and non-residents alike, relax in the warm ambience of our bar or soak up the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean from our outdoor terrace.
Whether you're exploring Bryher for the day or staying longer, pop in to our welcoming Bar & Terrace for a post-walk wine, Bryher crab sandwich or an evening cocktail.
At Hell Bay, we pride ourselves on using the freshest local produce to create a range of dishes to satisfy all tastes. From the ever-popular Moules Marinière to the classic Hell Bay burger, grilled Cornish fish, creative and distinctive plant-based dishes, or our Head Chef’s signature bouillabaisse, we have something for everyone.
Our lunchtime bar menu is served daily from noon to 2 pm, perfect for a pitstop while out exploring the beautiful island of Bryher. If you’re a large group, it’s advisable to phone ahead, but otherwise, just drop in.
In the evening, residents can choose to dine in the Bar or on the Terrace, enjoying a more informal dining option to complement our 3 AA Rosette restaurant. We can sometimes welcome non-residents for Dinner in the Bar, depending on availability; please call 01720 422947 for details.
As the sun sets into the ocean, grab a drink from the bar and head to the intimate Sunset Deck, or unwind with a book or magazine in the cosy armchairs of the Lookout Lounge, surrounded by perhaps the finest private art collection in the south-west.
Picture-perfect plates of food and one of the best views I’ve ever seen.
