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.’’

True to the distinctive SALT brand, the venue will feature a bold and vibrant interior design and a laid back environment for guests to unwind in. Expect a warm welcome from the established local team who have been busy becoming experts in all things SALT.

Residents of the popular Leeds suburb will also be able to indulge in some exceptional comfort food courtesy of Big Buns, who will be taking over the SALT Oakwood kitchen.

The independent burger brand, from the same people that brought The Falafel Guys to Leeds, will be providing a delicious menu including the Big Daddy Don’ner Burger, the Clucky Blue Cheeseburger and the Planty Smash loaded fries.

Big Buns co-owners Ahmed and Abdalla Gouda said: “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.”

SALT Oakwood is set to open its doors this November at the former site of Leeds restaurant the Stew and Oyster.
