Salt Sheffield, Kelham Island, Sheffield

Apart from the old works doorway, this is an ultramodern glass and steel place, with a large area of smart benches in the yard outside. The little bar at the back boasts a dozen or so of mainly their own keg with a couple of cask ales, which were a bit overchilled but otherwise pleasant enough. Food is available from a kitchen counter at the end.

Another modern bar in the area that seems quiet by day and lively by night. Four handpumps with just a couple of Ossett beers on during my early evening visit, these were backed up by a selection of craft on keg and should it be your thing, Cocktails on tap. Ok for a quick beer but I wouldn't linger.

Now acquired by Salt Beer Factory, a brand of Ossett Brewing Company. They have changed things around inside, with the bar on the back wall and the entrance in the old gatehouse rather than the modern black-brick-and-glass extension. There are four hand pumps, with three from Ossett and Absolution from Abbeydale. I went for one of the Salt keg beers, a 7.4% kveik IPA called North South Divide, which I didn't find very enjoyable. The food offering comes from a collaboration with Bao Mesters, and while the food looks revolting to me, there will no doubt be many takers for these bao buns and for the fruit juice-like beer too, so I'm sure they will be very successful without my custom.
