This was a pleasant experience, as part of a Mother's Day visit to Salts Mill.
Due to the open plan / ex-factory floor environment it can be quite noisy, especially when it's busy.
You can also expect a queue when it's busy, unless you book a table in advance.
Service is good. Friendly and proficient.
The menu is fairly modest but there is also a specials board to bolster the selection.
The food is good, nothing particularly special but fresh and tasty. Portion sizes are reasonable as are the prices.
Went in Saturday at lunch time and it was absolutely lovely food. My neice and I had the Beef burgers and the quality was top notch. My Sister in Law had the lemon curd cake and she said it was delicious. The service was fantastic, we had a very friendly girl who looked after us and she was extremely helpful, attentive and friendly. Would happily ear here again.
Salts Diner is a great place for a bite to eat because of the setting and service from the staff. It's a really cool restaurant - really open plan in the old Salt Mill with the kitchen in the middle. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was OK, but I would have expected something a little more for the prices on the menu. We had pizza (the special) and it was very simple and something I could create myself at home quite easily. Nothing mind-blowing. The cakes all sounded really good but I'm not sure how "freshly home baked" they are. The scone was really tasty and slightly warm, which is a really nice touch, with local butter! Yum!
The whole place is branded with a dog, by David Hockney, who also has work in one of the galleries. The dog on everything (including the waiters' and waitresses' tshirts) is quite funny and adds an extra bit of character to the place.
The rest of the building has galleries, shops and an exhibition with a bit about the history of the place, which is interesting.
All in all, Salts Diner is a nice place for a bite to eat in Saltaire.
