What it's like
Salt House Chester is a Bridge Street tapas restaurant for small plates, charcuterie, wine, cocktails, lunch, dinner, groups and central Chester meals.
Salt House is the Bridge Street tapas option: small plates, charcuterie, wine, cocktails and a city-centre restaurant feel without the full ceremony of a formal dinner.
It is useful when sharing is the point and the table is happy to order in waves. It is less useful if everyone wants a large personal plate and the bill to be obvious from the first glance.
Worth knowing
Salt House is useful because Bridge Street plus tapas plus wine is an easy equation. Just remember that tapas maths is not always your friend after the third "one more".

BRIDGE CAFE Bridge Cafe is a straightforward Bridge Street cafe for breakfasts, jackets, comfort food and the sort of lunch that does not need a mood board. It is central, family-friendly and useful when everyone just needs feeding. Not fancy, which is sometimes the whole appeal. 
Bridge St Coffee A compact, central coffee stop on Bridge Street, useful for a quick pause between the Rows, the shops, and the river. Expect an easy-going city-centre cafe feel rather than a big destination restaurant: coffee, light bites, and a handy place to regroup. It is the sort of spot that earns its keep by being exactly where you need it.
