A Story Rooted in Place
South Deep takes its name from a historic, sheltered deep-water channel in southern Poole Harbour. For centuries, “South Deep” has been known among mariners as a calm anchorage—offering protection and easy access to the quay. It’s from this maritime heritage that our restaurant draws both its name and its ethos: a welcoming refuge, a place to pause, refresh—and savour life on the water .
Parkstone Bay Marina’s long history and its ties to boating culture have shaped South Deep’s identity. Today, that tradition lives on: we continue to serve the boating community with pride—offering swing moorings, boat access, and water taxi connections as part of our invitation to discover a timeless seaside escape .
