We popped in for a quick lunch whilst visiting Shaftesbury, really enjoyable with a view of Gold Hill and beyond. We were a bit surprised that there were no chips on the menu but having said that, the steak panini and turkey/brie festive ciabatta were very filling and very nice. We have a notebook of great eating places that we visit and the Salt Cellar is definitely going in it!

Absolutely fabulous steak and kidney pie, and the venison casserole beautiful, both served with a full mix of fresh veg and half a big baked potato filled with cheese. Tea for two lovely as well. A very popular place and rightly so. The view is a bous.

We found this little gem at the top of Gold Hill some years ago when we were visiting Shaftesbury. We were served then probably the best pies we’d ever tasted so visiting the picturesque town again we had to see if the Salt Cellar was as we remembered it. We again sampled their pies and they were just as delicious and as good value as we remembered. We found the staff friendly and helpful too so if you prefer your food fresh, beautifully prepared and presented (rather than generic chain cafe fare) then pay this cafe a visit, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

A year on from our last visit we tried to have lunch today 28 Sept 2023. No better than last time and in fact worse. We were assigned a table when the "waitress" pointed to a table. Chose from the menu and waited for the waitress to return to take our order. We waited and waited and waited and after 15 minutes with all the staff busy talking to each other and not taking any notice of potential customers we left.Location was 5 star but the restaurant only warranted 3 stars, it was OK but nothing about it, including the food, was memorable

Excellent!!!! We stumbled across this homely little restaurant whilst waiting for the carnival. We had a prawn salad, two pork loin with peppercorn sauce and a steak and kidney pie. All four of us loved what we had. The peppercorn sauce was wonderful and the salad was so so delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient. Beautiful puddings yum yum
