The tide is turning here in Porthcawl – and at The Hi Tide, we’re riding it with pride! We’re incredibly excited to share the launch of our brand-new website, built to make it easier than ever for you to find all the information you need, plan your visit, and stay connected with everything happening at your favourite beachfront venue in South Wales.
For years, The Hi Tide has been at the heart of the Porthcawl restaurant and entertainment scene. From Sunday roasts in Porthcawl that bring families together, to legendary live music nights that get the whole town dancing, to unforgettable events overlooking the Bristol Channel, we’ve always been about creating memories that last a lifetime. And now, we’re bringing that same welcoming, vibrant spirit into the digital world.
Why the Change?
We know life moves fast – and so do we. Our old website served us well, but it was time for something fresher, faster, and friendlier to use. We wanted a space that reflects exactly what The Hi Tide is all about: great food, great entertainment, and great company by the sea.
Our new site isn’t just prettier (although we think it’s looking rather sharp!) – it’s also packed with practical features to help you get the most out of your visit. Whether you’re a local who knows exactly where you like to sit, or a first-time guest looking for places to eat in Porthcawl, our website now puts all the details you need right at your fingertips.
What’s New?
Here’s just a taste of what you’ll find:
- An Easy-to-Use Events Calendar – Want to know which band is playing this Friday night? Or when our next big fireworks display is happening? Our new events page is always up to date, so you’ll never miss the best live music in Porthcawl.
- Seasonal Menus Online – From our famous Sunday carvery in Porthcawl to fresh, locally-sourced dishes served throughout the week, you can browse our menus in advance and get those tastebuds tingling.
- Private Hire & Party Info – Thinking of throwing a birthday, anniversary, or corporate event? Our new site has all the details about our spaces, packages, and how we can make your special day unforgettable.
- News & Updates – Whether it’s a big event announcement, a behind-the-scenes story, or a seasonal offer, you’ll find it right here on our blog.
- Simple Contact & Booking Options – Need to reserve a table, enquire about an event, or ask a quick question? We’ve made it quick, clear, and hassle-free.
Keeping Porthcawl at Heart
The Hi Tide isn’t just a business – it’s part of the fabric of Porthcawl life. We’ve been a place where locals celebrate milestones, where visitors fall in love with the town, and where generations come together for good food and entertainment.
Our new website helps us stay connected with the whole community, whether you live just around the corner or hundreds of miles away but still hold Porthcawl close to your heart. You can follow what’s going on, plan visits around your favourite events, and keep that Hi Tide feeling alive even when you’re not here in person.
More Than Just a Venue
We’ve always believed that The Hi Tide is more than just a building with a bar and a kitchen – it’s a meeting place, a celebration spot, and a hub for live music and dining in Porthcawl.
Over the years, we’ve hosted everything from intimate acoustic nights to large-scale concerts. We’ve been the backdrop for countless wedding receptions, charity events, and unforgettable parties. We’ve served roasts to families who’ve been coming for decades, and pints to friends catching up after years apart.
This new website is just the latest step in making sure The Hi Tide experience is the best it can possibly be – from the moment you start planning your visit, right through to the moment you leave with a smile on your face.
Looking Ahead
The launch of our new site is just the beginning. We’ll be regularly updating it with new content – think photo galleries from recent events, features on our team and suppliers, spotlights on local talent, and even a few behind-the-scenes peeks at what makes The Hi Tide tick.
And of course, our events calendar will keep filling up with live music nights in Porthcawl, themed evenings, seasonal celebrations, and everything else that makes our corner of the South Wales coast such a lively place to be.
Come Explore the New Hi Tide Online
We’re incredibly proud of our new digital home, and we can’t wait for you to explore it. Whether you’re looking to book a Sunday roast in Porthcawl, find the date of the next big gig, or check out what’s happening this summer, it’s all just a click away.
So, grab a cuppa (or a pint, if you prefer), have a browse, and let us know what you think. And remember – while our new website is a brilliant way to connect with us, there’s nothing quite like the real thing. We’d love to see you in person soon, enjoying the sea air, the views, and the warm welcome that The Hi Tide is famous for.
Here’s to new beginnings, fresh ideas, and many more good times – both online and by the water’s edge. 🌊
