A waterfront restaurant in the heart of Emsworth Yacht Harbour has announced its closure following a ‘tough few years’ industrywide.

The Deck, which is known for its unique harbour location, has taken to social media to confirm it has shut up shop. The seafood restaurant offered a range of dishes including whole lobster, halibut and steak.

The Deck is a brilliant place to go if you are looking to eat whilst overlooking a beautiful view.

The restaurant underwent a significant refurbishment back in 2018 which welcomed a new kitchen and balcony to overlook the harbour. As a result of the venue’s new look, it had a surge in customers but due to a number of factors including the pandemic and cost of living crisis, the business, like many others, suffered.
