On our date night a while ago, Emily and I ventured to Salt Bar in Macclesfield to try something…read moredifferent (I work in Macc so it's not like it was a trip for both of us) On entering Salt Bar it's quite minimal and small but pleasant. To start we shared the Smörgåsbord which was a large crispbread covered with various things including mackerel, prawns, beetroot and apple salad, ham, meatball, pickled veg and probably a few other things I can't remember. It was all very good and an excellent start to the meal. For mains we decided to share lamb with red cabbage and potatoes, and venison meatballs with liquorice sauce and fries. Both dishes were very tasty and very rich, although I have to say the meatballs were my slight preference. After eating all this (it was a lot of food) I had to dig deep to find room but sure enough we both did and ordered a chocolate and ginger trifle to share. This was quite decadent but not too sweet which was perfect for the end of the meal. Upon getting home we both laid on the sofa feeling sorry for ourselves but very content at the same time. The meal came to about £60 I think which isn't bad, not cheap but not too expensive either. I would definitely recommend people try it if they're in the area.

After an evening that included several beers and a thorough exploration of Macclesfield, we'd…read moredefinitely worked up a hunger. I was a bit worried that it'd be pushing our luck trying to find a decent place to eat at 7.30pm on a Saturday night with no reservation, and when we were both utterly clueless about what was available. Turns out I was wrong, and The Salt Bar was exactly what we were looking for. An independent bistro offering Scandinavian cuisine, with a fairly meat and fish orientated menu. It was small enough to feel intimate and cosy, yet large enough to feel relaxed and have two spare seats available at the last minute. The waitress was super friendly when we inquired about not having a booking and gave us a seat in the window. I ordered Kåldomar, which is a beefy-porky-cabbage wrapped dish and my OH ordered what can only be described as a sort of meatball bruschetta e.g. on toast. Now, my other half is a fan of what is officially termed "A square meal" whereas I'm all for picky bits - this meal satisfied both of us by serving two hearty main dishes with a few additional swedish pickled veg and garnishes on the side of our plates, nothing excessive, (think Wagamama style, when the menu states you get a few pickles) but these were a welcome and tasty surprise! Both dishes were very tasty and the meatballs were so heavenly, that I felt that my meat in the Kåldomar was slightly dry in comparison, it didn't ruin my meal but I did get major meatball lust. We stuck to beer and other than Swedish Åbro lager and Rekordelig, drinks-wise they've interestingly chosen to support local breweries instead of opting for Scandiavian. Stocking a wide selection of pales, ales, bitters and stouts from both Wincle and RedWillow. If I were to make any recommendations, it'd be about the music, The Salt Bar had a fantastic atmosphere and the ONLY thing that didn't feel right was the music - generic mellow poppy chart tosh, pretty sure I heard Taylor Swift at one point *shudder*. Now I'm not suggesting that they have to be overly themed, but if they're promoting Scandinavian cuisine then why not slap on some Scandi artists? Bit of Lykke Li, Neneh Cherry, The Cardigans, Peter Bjorn and John... etc. Would have been much more in keeping with the vibe in my opinion.

I had the Sherpa lamb curry which was richly spiced and delicious, and shared sides of garlic and coriander naan and dal tarka, along with a few beers.

I was really impressed with this place, particularly the main courses…read more Mixed starters were okay but basic - tempura vegetables included what was definitely an onion ring, the kind you would get with a pub burger. I didn't really mind though because I found out that onion rings taste great with satay and chilli sauce. For a main I had 'tod kratiem prik Thai' with beef. This was delicious with a rich, salty, spicy sauce. It came with lots of meat and a sprinkling of what I think was roasted/dried garlic sprinkled over the top. I couldn't help but spoon the left over sauce into my mouth after finishing my meal. A portion of stir fried noodles was enough to share between two, and they were also really nice. I paid around £18 for starters, mains and beers. If you live in/near Macclesfield or are in the area, I would definitely recommend this place.

Service was a little slow but we were all catching up and in no rush. We had booked the table for 9 but it had only been set for 7 - staff were good at solving the issue promptly. The roast beef was delicious, cooked to perfection and I particularly loved the pickled cabbage. Only disappointment was that the plate was cold and so parts of the roast had instantly gone cold before even reaching the table. The sticky toffee pudding was to die for - absolute heaven. Nine happy diners at the end of the meal! Would definitely recommend - dog and child friendly.

The food hall itself when I've been is a busy, bustling place with large tables running down the main thoroughfare. They often have old black and white movies playing on the rear wall - Laurel and Hardy (silent) was playing on my last visit. Amazingly, the food hall is dog friendly, which adds to the overall appeal rather than takes anything away. Outside of the main building, the Picturedrome Yard is in the final stages of construction and is expected to open around the first week in November. This will extend the choice with even more kitchens and bars. The current opening hours are; Monday - Closed Tuesday To Saturday 9am to 10pm Sunday 9am to 6pm
