Salt & Pepper became a legend in its own lunchtime. Literally. Anyone who works in town will remember the queues that would snake around the foodhall in the Arndale food market each and every day, whether it was a dreary Monday or a busy Saturday afternoon.
Such was its wild and unbridled success that eventually, it had to move. Sibling owners Chloe and Cash Tao, the youngest generation of their family to start a food business in Manchester, a dynasty stretching back 80 years, were not deterred.
Rather than have to pay up for a £91,000 extraction system in the market to cope with the demand for their takeaway boxes (the council said that they had become a ‘safety risk’ because they were ‘so successful’), they moved over the road late last year into their first bricks and mortar restaurant.
