Salt to open 8th taproom
The new bar will open in Oakwood, Roundhay, north Leeds, and will feature four cask ales and seven craft beers, including its popular Jute Session IPA, new pale ale Loom and Yon lager.
Salt operates taprooms in Saltaire, where its brewery is based; East Parade, Leeds; Granary Wharf, Leeds; Boston Spa, Wetherby; Kelham Island, Sheffield; and two in London at Woolwich and Deptford.
There will also be eight classic cocktails on draught so they can be poured quickly yet retain their quality.
Big Buns
Residents of the popular Leeds suburb will also be able to indulge in comfort food courtesy of Big Buns, who will be taking over the kitchen. The independent burger brand will serve dry-aged grass-fed patties, buttermilk wings and 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, who also owns cask ale producer Ossett Brewery that has a 31-strong pub estate, said: “Given the resurgence we’ve seen in Oakwood as the place to go in north Leeds, taking Salt there was a no-brainer.”
Something fresh
Lawson continued: “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, who never fail to impress when it comes to mouth-watering burgers, wings and loaded fries.
“We can’t wait to welcome the people of Oakwood into our newest venue, just in time for the World Cup and the busy festive season.”
Salt’s website also states Salt Calls Landing is an upcoming site that will be located at The Calls, which is between Leeds railway station and Leeds Minister.
