Salt Shed

Salt Shed is a barbecue restaurant on Church Street in the North Laine area of Brighton. The menu centres on meat cooked over fire, with barbecue platters, burgers and beer forming the main focus. The approach is straightforward and food-led, with the cooking method playing a central role in the flavour and character of the menu.

The restaurant suits diners looking for a dedicated meat-focused meal rather than a broad general menu. Fire cooking shapes the offering, while burgers provide a more casual option alongside larger platters designed around barbecue-style meat. Beer is part of the restaurant’s identity and complements the food-led format.

A Sunday roast is served as an all-day feature, giving the North Laine restaurant a distinct weekend role alongside its regular barbecue menu. The roast sits within the same fire-and-meat style, making the venue relevant for both a traditional Sunday meal and a more informal barbecue dinner. The menu is suited to casual meals, social dining and occasions centred on substantial food.

Salt Shed has a separate beach-bar location at the West Pier, but the venue at 111 Church Street is the North Laine restaurant. This listing refers to the indoor restaurant rather than the seafront bar. Its position on Church Street places it within the North Laine district, an area associated with independent shops, cafés and restaurants.

The restaurant’s character comes from its focused combination of fire, meat and beer. It offers a clear choice for diners seeking barbecue cooking, a burger, a meat platter or a Sunday roast in the North Laine. The setting is best suited to relaxed food occasions where the meal, rather than formal service or an extensive menu, is the main attraction.
