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.
Always delightful to visit Salts Mill & have lunch in the lovely diner.
Very large trendy restaurant with plenty of tables and seating and the prices echo this. The lattes were excellent and lovely and hot. The food was tasty; my husband had a veggie sausage sandwich which was overloaded with sausages and I had two crumpets with butter. Table service was speedy, efficient and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Nice diner/cafe atmosphere. A lot of people and can get a bit noisy with the sound of kids. But all in all great place and decent coffee and scones + Building has a lot to see. Would visit again! Lots of free visitor parking
Based in an imposing, superbly repurposed mill building. Lovely, friendly staff. Good, prompt service. Nice food. Plenty of parking.
The atmosphere is lovely and gives me vibes and staff are nice
Lovely, large old woollen mill converted to gallery/shops, very nice cafe etc. Interesting Victorian village of Saltair which is a UNESCO world heritage site, with almshouses, park, canal, train station.
Couldn't recommend a day at Salts Mill enough.
We had lunch at Salts Diner; which was well worth the queue for the lovely food and excellent service. The atmosphere in the diner itself along with the views from the window AND George's friendly service genuinely made our day and completed the experience.
There was so much to browse in the antiques shop we probably could've spent a couple of days looking through the trinkets and collectibles.
Also elsewhere in the mill had a great interaction with Graham who was working in the shop on the ground floor. Couldn't recommend it enough to someone who admires the work of David Hockney and good food.
Friendly service with a smile at Salt's Diner. Popped in for a quick coffee and cake with my family whilst visiting the gallery.
The coffee is supplied by one of my favourite local roasters, Dark Woods and was strong and tasty as I would expect.
We ordered chocolate cake, a frangipane and a Strawberry Streusel cake, which were all delicious.
Good value in a great location. Will be back soon.
Amazing Expensive but worth it
Always an excellent time is had at the Diner
Great food, friendly efficient service and fabulous surroundings. Well worth a visit
Tried their iced latte and lemon curd cake, both of them were amazing
Lovely place to eat. Good selection of cakes and meals. Salts mill is great place to visit
Went for lunch and everything was adequate but didn't really stand out. The prices were fairly expensive too.
Friendly and bubbly staff! Enjoyed a thoroughly delicious scone & deluxe hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows!
