The Crab Shack is open once again 🦀

This summer, the tide has nudged us in a slightly different direction.

There’s been a noticeable rise in octopus around our shores - remarkable creatures: clever, curious, and, as it happens, every bit as fond of crab as our guests. We can’t help but admire their taste...

With less crab around, we don’t want to ask more of the sea than it can comfortably give, so our chefs have been getting creative. Crab is, of course, still very much on the menu - but this year, it’s sharing the stage.

Take a look at the menu and book your bench 👉 https://hellbay.co.uk/dining/the-crab-shack/

“Bryher has a distinctly untamed feel, and this is the place to dive into it…”

We’re over the moon to see Hell Bay Hotel featured in the Condé Nast Traveller UK ultimate guide to the Isles of Scilly. They describe "a haven of light, airy rooms" and our restaurant as "exceptional, built around just-caught seafood."

We're delighted - a real tribute to the work of our exceptional team...

Holidays here are more about being left to their own devices, rather than being glued to them...

They tend to find their own adventures - climbing, swinging, disappearing off for hours, and coming back when they’re ready. Summer on Bryher is pretty simple like that.

We’ve a few last spaces for families this summer - give us a call, and we’ll see what we can do.

It’s asparagus season, and we’re making the most of it.

Wye Valley asparagus, a St Ewe egg, crispy Serrano ham, and blood orange hollandaise.

A seasonal favourite from Richard and the kitchen...

Not a bad place to settle as the day draws in...

Rooms so close to the sea you can watch the fishermen at work? ✔️

We've got the odd couple of nights still available here and there throughout May and June - perfect if you need to just get away from it all for a bit of vitamin sea...
