I love Salts Mill and the wonderful cafe but staff need to be given extra cleaning time in the Diner. The constant sound of dragging chairs and smells of cleaning fluid and sweeping around you make it feel as if customers aren’t welcome. Not their fault but they need extra time once customers have gone.
I hadn’t been to Salts Mill for 30 years, but it’s even better than I remember. The fish and chips was outstanding, as was the sticky toffee pudding. Efficient and friendly staff. I won’t leave it another three decades till my next visit.
Busy, even on a weekday. The cafe upstairs does snacks: this is more substantial food. Good surroundings & friendly, helpful staff.
Wasn't a plan visit just went for a quick coffee . Will look more into food next time. Would love to have more vegetarian/halal options on the menu.
Amazing place, the ceilings are amazingly high and the restaurant has so much character. The service was good, the food was decent. Overall a great experience.
We arrived at 12pm, there looked to be around 10 tables free and just one person in front of us in the queue, so we joined it. We were quickly asked how many people were eating, and expected to be seated soon. The person seating people was funny to watch, clearing tables, looking at his notes, ticking things off now and again, shuffling menus, generally doing things to make him look busy, it kept us entertained for a while at least. We realised that some people must have booked in advance, as they arrived at the front of the queue and were seated - fair enough but I wish this had been communicated to us when we arrived!). The queue was quite large now and we were at the front, so we continued to wait, getting less entertained by the antics of the guy seating people. After half an hour, we were seated to be told that there was a half an hour wait on food orders - WHY NOT TELL US THIS HALF AN HOUR AGO!!! Anyway, having waited half an hour, we decided to wait again. The waitress was pleasant and good. The food was mediocre. Not good but not terrible. The menu choice was very limited. The price was quite expensive for what we got really. This would have been so much better with some communication... Better still if they didn't bother reserving tables. All the guy had to do is tell us that the free tables were reserved, we didn't feel very welcomed.
Great coffee and hot puddings. Friendly and welcoming staff.
Lovely place to eat in Saltaire. The decor is fabulous and you can’t beat eating in Salts Mill. I’ve visited a few times for lunch, but most recently attended with some work colleagues a couple of weeks ago. It was a very busy Friday afternoon but we had booked a table and were seated immediately. The waitress who served us was lovely and we were well looked after. I had the vegan burger which was delicious, and the garlic bread they serve is very good! The service was great despite it being completely full with a line of people waiting to be seated.
Always an excellent time is had at the Diner Great food, friendly efficient service and fabulous surroundings. Well worth a visit
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.
