Salt House Tapas is a city centre restaurant in Church House at 1 Hanover Street, Liverpool. The compact, sociable format is centred on small plates arriving across the meal, allowing couples or groups to build a table from meat, seafood and vegetable choices. Its position near Liverpool One makes it equally convenient for lunch, pre-theatre dining or a longer evening meal.
The menu begins with simple Spanish bar snacks such as Gordal olives, bread with olive oil and vinegar, tomato toast and honeyed baby chorizo. Iberico ham, salchichón and chorizo provide a charcuterie route through the menu, while croquettes filled with jamón, salt cod or spinach and goat’s cheese are easy additions for sharing.
Larger plates move between sizzling garlic prawns, fried calamari and fish, pan roasted cod, chargrilled steak, lamb and slow braised pig cheeks. Patatas bravas, Padrón peppers, broccoli with ajo blanco and deep fried goat’s cheese ensure vegetables have a meaningful place on the table. The variety lets diners balance richer dishes with lighter, sharper flavours.
Churros, Santiago tart and Basque cheesecake offer suitably Spanish influenced finishes. Sangria, Spanish beer, cocktails, wine and sherry extend the sharing spirit into the drinks list. Salt House Tapas works best as a flexible meal in which the table chooses freely, passes plates around and orders another dish whenever something catches the eye.
