Henley’s, on Marine Parade, is the newest addition to the town’s well-known food and drink scene and is offering an intimate dining experience to the stunning back drop of Lyme Bay.

The new addition is owned by Larry Gibbons, and is very much a family affair, with his son Lawrence helping see the project through from the initial idea to its official opening.

As well as great food, including stone baked pizzas, entertainment will be a huge part of its appeal, with carefully selected music to compliment the venue’s stunning views.

Speaking of his new business, Larry said: “Henley’s is a small, cosy and welcoming bar on the seafront in Lyme Regis, offering a relaxed atmosphere, great music and views across the sea.

“Our music comes mainly from carefully chosen playlists played through our sound system, including reggae, swing, dance music and favourite songs from the 1960s, 70s, 80s and beyond.

“Henley’s has a relaxed, grown-up atmosphere for people who enjoy good music, conversation, dancing and the occasional sing-along. From time to time, we may also have live music.

“During the winter, we [will] close the doors and create a warm, friendly atmosphere inside. When the weather allows, we [will] open the doors and put chairs outside at the front.

“Guests can enjoy the fresh sea air, dance inside while looking out across the water, or even dance outside in winter with their hats and coats on.”

Mr Gibbons also runs Largigi Café, on Marine Parade, offering fresh Thai and English cuisine.

Larry is also a leading voice for local businesses and traders on the seafront, who has previously strived for fairer outdoor licence charges in the town, so businesses have the best shot at thriving in the town.

“The small size of the bar gives Henley’s its special charm, making it cosy, friendly and perfect for private parties, small weddings, birthdays and other celebrations,” Larry said.

“Whether you are planning a celebration or simply looking for good food, great music and a friendly night by the sea, Henley’s of Lyme Regis offers something a little different.”

Henley’s officially opened on Saturday, July 22.
