The Salt Pig Wareham – great food, lovely staff and all about community

The Salt Pig has become a much loved destination for exceptional food & “cut to order” Purbeck meat from the Salt Pig’s own herds and from other local farmers, with fresh fish from local fishing boats & an array of local cheeses and produce. Absolute traceability whilst supporting local farmers, fisherman and local producers – your custom truly puts money back into the local community.

Everything we do reflects our core values: championing local sourcing, serving generous portions, offering genuinely friendly service, and delivering honest value. Whether you’re dropping in for a coffee & cake, for lunch, a glass of wine, or your weekly shop, customers can sit down to enjoy freshly cooked food, or take home quality local meat and produce, all sourced with integrity and prepared by people who care deeply about what they do. It’s the perfect cosy meeting space for a fresh breakfast, cooked by the chef in the open kitchen, or the best ever Sunday roast.

With both indoor seating and some outdoor seating you can watch the world (well town) go by! Everything is offered as both eat in & take away. The menu changes daily but their legendary quiches and sausage rolls are always on the menu among other hearty homemade food. It’s got a relaxed vibe, cafe style food made daily using the same ingredients sold within the shop and butchery.

Whilst you are in Wareham take a walk around the Wareham Saxon Walls or along the river path or buy a take away from us to picnic at the beautiful Quay. Buy some original gifts from Purbeck Artist Yard which has over 30 local artists, creators & makers.
