Salt & Pepper

Salt & Pepper isn’t your typical takeaway. Since opening in 2019, this Chinese fast food restaurant has been on a wild ride, starting with queues that snaked round the Arndale Market, ending up with a following that borders on cultlike.
What began as a modest market stall is now a full Northern Quarter restaurant, opening in 2022 after a short stint at Black Dog Ballroom.
It’s not manufactured hype and AI bots either – there wouldn’t have been this level of attention if the food were anything less than excellent.
