Museum Café
Open from
8.30-4pm, 7 days a week
Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee on the go, catching up with friends over a leisurely lunch, or hiding out with a good book, our café is your perfect escape from the hustle and bustle away from the everyday.
We're all about community, conversation and good food - so this isn't just a cafe, it's a space to gather, relax, and feel at home. We’ve got big plans too: think local artists, pop-up events, and plenty of reasons to swing by again.
We're looking forward to seeing you at The Old Town Salt Pig!
The Old Town Salt Pig is part of The Salt Pig group, which tells the story of Purbeck through food.
The Salt Pig began with a simple idea: to create a business where people could easily find honest, locally produced food from Purbeck farmers, fishermen, and growers, operating with conservation and nature in mind.
From field to fork, sea to counter, provenance isn’t a marketing term for them, it’s a responsibility - and trust us, it's a very delicious responsibility indeed!
If you’re planning a visit with friends, family, or a larger group, we’d love to help make it extra special, just get in touch to book ahead, reserve a table, or chat through any dietary requirements.
Our friendly team is always happy to help with enquiries, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy!
