Thoroughly enjoyed our butchery and wood fired cooking day. Wonderful setting, glorious food (sustainable and appreciated), professional set up and relaxed company, very knowledgeable .... just really loved every minute.

Would so highly recommend The Salt Box. The food at all the events I’ve attended has been delicious, interesting and locally sourced. Their ethos is brilliant.

It's simply stunning what The Salt Box can deliver in such a remote location, the quality and flavour of all the food was simply mouth wateringly good. We cannot recommend Christian and Beckie enough, beautiful people cooking up beautiful food and all with a smile!
