We tried phenomenal new Leeds burger and cocktail bar Salt and were blown away

You may have heard of Salt as it’s the new chain opening restaurants and cocktail bars across Leeds and Yorkshire. They most recently opened a new venue in Oakwood, so we just had to check it out.

The bar also looked really spectacular with its contrasting tiles which feeds into Salt founder Jamie Lawson’s ethos of delivering “the total experience – so drinking the best beer in the best environment”. He’s certainly delivered in Oakwood. We ended up sharing one of the many long tables with some strangers which added a nice social aspect to the evening. To order, you go to the bar and they give you a buzzer – which goes wild once the food is ready and you then have to collect the food on the first floor.

We ordered the Strawberry and Rhubarb Cosmo, the Blood Orange Margarita, the Bramble Berry Gin and the Rum Punch. By all accounts, the Cosmo had a piquant edge with fruity fresh strawberry flavours – “simply delicious”. The Rum Punch made them feel like they were "in the Cayman Islands on a boat" which sounds like a delightful and imaginative experience.

My friend, who seems to love buffalo sauce with a passion, said they could tell the wings had been cooked and coated with hot sauce in the pan, giving the flavour some real depth, plus they picked up on notes of vinegar, so chilli flavour had a “triple punch”. The batter coating on the wings was so firm, it appeared it had been triple fried, giving them a really crispy texture.
