Salt

"Found in the heart of town, this lovely little restaurant was founded thanks to a kickstarter campaign. The team might look laid-back but they know their stuff and each creative dish is served with a full explanation of its make-up. The clean, unfussy style belies the work involved in their preparation; tuck in and you’ll discover a range of flavours and textures, often including playful combinations like sweetbreads with cauliflower and coconut. Interesting wines from around the globe accompany, including some English bottles." - Michelin Inspector

Chef Paul Foster's Salt: From Kickstarter to Michelin Star

"Praise and plaudits followed, and on October 1, 2018, the ultimate accolade was bestowed as the restaurant was awarded with a Michelin Star. Chef Paul’s vision was to create 'a fine dining restaurant using the best produce, served in a relaxed atmosphere where you can sit back, relax and enjoy your dining experience.' The Michelin Inspectors agreed, describing Salt as a lovely, unpretentious restaurant with a laid-back atmosphere and friendly service. They praised its use of carefully sourced, first rate ingredients and referred to Paul’s cooking as refreshingly unfussy with clear, defined flavors and restrained originality. (The advice from the Michelin Inspectors is to sit in the rear of the restaurant opposite the open kitchen; this allows you to watch the talented chef at work.) If it’s good value you’re after, come midweek for lunch; Friday and Saturday nights are when you can try the tasting menu, which shows off Paul’s creativity to the fullest extent." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team

I visited Salt a year ago today! I forgot to review the food here, which was stunning! I had the tasting menu and it did really blow my mind. I just had a tasting menu down the street yesterday that reminded me the food here. I think the tasting menu in Salt was creative, flavourful and impressive. I walked pass yesterday, and it looked like the restaurant has totally shut down or something. Hopefully not, keep up to it!

After researching several fine dining options in the area, we chose Salt for its standout tasting menu—and it didn’t disappoint. Each course was an experience: beautifully plated, with great flavour combinations and interesting textures. Well worth the price.

Visited for dinner, was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. We did the tasting menu and were excited to see what the restaurant had to offer. I really enjoyed the restaurant, and found the staffs personalities to be some of my favourite parts of the dinner. We had a special evening trying the menu. The food is incredibly well plated, with some beautiful technique and interesting colours. I found, however, some of the flavours did not match the aesthetics off the dishes overall. We also had empty aperitif glasses along with empty gin bottles on the table for about 4 courses, which I had to ask to be taken after they had been ignored each time. It unfortunately took away from the experience to have our table resemble a pub. We also had to provide a polite reminder to receive the wine we had ordered after waiting a quite a number of courses. Although it is not a deal breaker, this is not the level of attentiveness expected from a restaurant of this calibre. Overall, friendly staff and attractive dishes, but I found the flavours to lack creativeness and the attentiveness could be improved.

This was my first experience at a Michelin Star restaurant, so I don't have any frame of comparison... but it was incredible! The service was fantastic, staff were friendly welcoming, and kindly talked us through the process and explained each meal in detail. The food itself was absolutely amazing. There was one course that wasn't to my preference, but that was just my own taste as everyone else loved it. The food was both incredibly tasty and beautiful, and although each dish is small I was so full by the end of the meal that I could barely move 😂. The restaurant is small but very pretty, and it was very clean - I was so confident in the cleanliness levels that I would have happily eaten off the table (not that I needed to obviously) and normally the idea of that would gross me out. It was a tad colder in the room than I would have liked, so if you are sensitive to the cold then make sure to bring a cardigan. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a memorable night out, and I cannot wait for a chance to go back again.

I took my mum here for mother's day lunch (well the Thursday after) we arrived about 30 mins early but the friendly staff had no problems seating us straight away. Our server brought us some water for the table and took our drinks order. We chose to have the 6 course taster menu with the lamb main and shortly after the food started to arrive. We sat in the back by the kitchen and I got to watch the chefs preparing the meals. There was no panic everything was calm and they really looked as though they were enjoying it as much as I was ☺️ At no point did we feel rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy each course. Our server explained each course so we knew exactly what we were having. The food was exquisite. I especially enjoyed the home made bread and butter, the cod dish was amazing as was the carrot course, which I admit, I wasn't expecting. If I had to pick out one course to put on a pedestal it had to be the rhubarb and custard dessert. On my first taste of this I floated away in my own world. The chef that made this dish needs to have a special bonus because that was out of this world. The flavours and textures were perfect. BRAVO!!! Overall the whole experience was a delight. Would I go back, definitely. Would I recommend it to friends and family, definitely (already have). A fantastic experience from start to finish.

Unable to rate this a zero, But we arrived for our booking last night to find the restaurant closed, looking through the window it appears all the ovens have been pulled out so not sure if they have closed down. I mean things happen but they could have at least contacted us to let us know not to bother driving over. They also have £140 as a deposit, and we can’t get through to anyone. Can the manager please contact me asap regarding a refund.

Thank you for a fabulous lunch for my mum's birthday, it was a real surprise for her and she loved it, and the card was a nice touch. Amazing what you can do with a carrot, and I don't eat chocolate desserts but that was stunning. Yummy!
