Salt Shed

I’ve been a big fan of @saltshed since they made their debut in Brighton last year with a pop-up at @shelterhallmarket , followed by the opening of their first shop in North Laine. So, when I heard they were expanding to the seafront this summer, I knew they were onto something special!

Their new location boasts fantastic seating options both inside and out, making it perfect for all weather conditions and great views of Brighton Beach. As always, they continue to serve up their iconic smoked meat platters and mouth-watering burgers. We indulged in the three-meat sharing platter, which featured BBQ-glazed Pastrami, 32-Day Aged Bavette Steak, and 32-Day Aged Sirloin Steak, accompanied by rich Mac & Cheese with Bacon, Onion Jam & herby breadcrumbs, skin-on chips with Rosemary salt and their signature Chimichurri and Burnt Butter Mayo sauces

The food was outstanding, cooked to perfection and infused with a deep smoky flavor. The pastrami, in particular, was incredibly tender, pulling apart effortlessly with the first bite. Paired with the creamy yet textured Mac & Cheese, it was a real feast for the senses. We couldn’t get enough and thoroughly enjoyed this sharing platter

At £55 plus sides, the platter is a bit of a splurge, but the quality of the meat makes it well worth it for anyone who appreciates fine cuts. While Salt Shed is best known for its premium meat offerings, they do cater to vegans as well, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Although I haven’t had a chance to try one yet, their burgers look incredible, and I’m definitely planning a return visit to sample one soon!

Their Sunday roast platter is also high on my must-try list, but since it’s only available at their North Laine location and books up quickly, you need to plan ahead to get involved. Overall, we’ve had nothing but great experiences here, and my BBQ-loving husband is especially hooked so I have no doubt we will be back again very soon!
