Craft and cocktails bar to launch its eighth venue next month
The team at SALT are bringing their brand of craft, cocktails, and good times to North Leeds this November, adding tap number eight to their portfolio.
SALT has enjoyed expansion in recent years, with venues across Saltaire, Granary Wharf, Boston Spa, Sheffield and London sites in Deptford and Woolwich.
Its new bar in Oakwood, Roundhay, will feature four cask ales and seven craft beers, including the Jute Session IPA, pale ale Loom and YON Lager.
It will also bring its cocktail creations available on tap, with eight classic cocktails made with all-natural ingredients.
Diners will also be able to indulge in comfort food courtesy of Big Buns, who will take over the SALT Oakwood kitchen.
The independent burger brand, from the same people that brought The Falafel Guys to Leeds, has made waves in the local foodie scene with its grass-fed patties, buttermilk wings and legendary loaded fries.
Menu highlights include the Big Daddy Don’ner Burger, topped with gourmet donner meat, the Clucky Blue Cheeseburger and the Planty Smash Loaded Fries, topped with vegan smash burger patty.
SALT founder, Jamie Lawson, said: “Given the resurgence we’ve seen in Oakwood as the place to go in North Leeds, taking SALT there was a no-brainer.
“The area has fast become a mini-hub for independent bars, cafes, and restaurants that we love and admire, and I know SALT can bring something completely fresh to the party.’
“As well as being home to some of Yorkshire’s best-selling craft ales, we’ve really nailed our draught cocktails offering and converted many naysayers along the way. We’re also proud to serve up some of the city’s best bar food from Big Buns.”
Big Buns co-owners Ahmed and Abdalla Gouda added: “We felt that we had to bring our amazing burgers to local areas of Leeds.
“Oakwood was the obvious choice for us because of its very family-orientated feel and a great collection of independent family-run businesses. The only thing missing is smash burgers, chicken wings and loaded fries to compliment the current local offering.
“The opportunity to work with SALT again felt like the perfect partnership given they reflect our strong family values, customer focus and genuine passion for great quality food and drink.”
