SALT Leeds announces new Granary Wharf taproom serving street food from Falafel Guys

SALT is set to open a new taproom in Leeds city centre this month in partnership with popular food vendor Falafel Guys.

The canal-side Craft + Falafel venue, previously Craft Asylum, will pair SALT's craft beer with Middle-Eastern street food.

There will be seven new cocktails 'on tap' with a two-for-£12 offer running all day, every day.

Located in the heart of Granary Wharf, the taproom will continue SALT's collaboration with street food vendors - joining Craft + Pizza in London and Craft + Bao in Sheffield.

"We were blown away by the reception to SALT Leeds Craft + Cocktails and we wanted to offer a little bit of diversity in a fast-growing area of the city centre.

"SALT Craft + Falafel is inspired by our love for food and venues that offer something for everyone.

"Craft beer and street food is such a natural pairing and adds to our pursuit of ‘beer perfection'."

Ahmed Ramzy added: "SALT and the area is very lively and we've been doing our research into locations where there is a gap in the market for tasty fresh falafels.

"Middle Eastern food is extremely popular and we use the freshest, top-quality ingredients and everything on the menu is halal.

"We can't wait to meet and welcome our new and regular customers."
