Salt Cellar - Menu

Great staff and fantastic food just a shame that it is being closed down

Rude and offhand staff, average food and poor value for money. Crowded and uncomfortable. Will not come again, and would advise others against coming.

I received a free drink with sparkling water and a sausage-bacon wrap for free. However, as a Muslim, I was pressured to eat it by the staff. Very disappointing experience.

We like a lot going out. Yesterday we came to this fine restaurant which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a beautiful experience there with superb food and a nice stuff and a distinguished chef. We added this restaurant in our list and we shall surely visit again soon. We highly recommend.

I absolutely love this restaurant and am saddened that it will be closing in a few weeks. The food is delicious, the staff are exceptional, and they are always so supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable. It's hard to believe that some of them are volunteers because they work so well together as a team. The quality of the food is consistently outstanding. I will definitely miss this place.

I brought my mum today who was in a wheelchair. The staff came to let us use the lift and we had a lovely lunch. The food was very nice and well presented. The staff were helpful and efficient and on seeing we were leaving, a member of staff helped us back to the lift without us asking. I would recommend the salt cellar to anyone whether it be a full meal or just a brew. Well done to all.

In their enthusiasm to be part of a baying mob people have lost sight of the fact that you are a CHARITY staffed by volunteers, supporting the poor and the homeless. If they shut you down, as they seem intent on doing, they only hurt the homeless and the poor it's truly idiotic. I wish you all the best, I'm sure you will get past this and continue to do great work and I'll be visiting next time I'm in Oldham.

I have many fond memories of dining at the Salt Cellar when my kids were younger. So, I decided to have lunch there recently. As soon as I walked in, I was reminded of the elegant dining room and felt like I had stepped back in time to Oldham's charming past. The staff promptly seated me and handed me a menu. Although the menu had been scaled down, there were still plenty of hot and cold dishes to choose from. I opted for a tuna and mayonnaise sandwich with a pot of tea. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were courteous and attentive. I will definitely be returning to the Salt Cellar in the future.

The Salt Cellar is based in an interesting old building close to the centre of Oldham. It is set back slightly from the main shopping area which means it is an ideal place to go for lunch when shopping, or maybe just for a drink and a quick break. It is staffed by a number of volunteers who give up their time in order to contribute to the work The Salt Cellar does in our community. Anyone living in Oldham will know that we are a relatively deprived area and The Salt Cellar gives opportunities to local homeless people whilst running activities for young people who otherwise might have nothing positive in their lives. So, buy some cake and help the local community, seems good to me.
