SALT PARTNERS WITH THE ENTREPRENEUR BEHIND HUBB.

SALT and hubb unite to create an exceptional craft and coffee experience in the heart of Leeds City Centre.

Following on from the recent and successful launch of hubb at Dean Clough on the outskirts of Halifax town centre in August of this year, Dr Nadir Zairi former managing director and existing non-executive director of SALT has chosen to join forces with the brand inside one of their Leeds city centre taps SALT Leeds City, which is known for its accomplished craft beers and 10 second pour cocktails ‘on tap’.

Together, they are set to take the Leeds’ craft beer and coffee scene by storm. This partnership will see the integration of hubb’s craft coffee and delightful freshly baked goods into SALTs already extensive menu of craft beers, cask ales, cocktails ‘on tap’, artisan wines and more, allowing patrons to enjoy the experience whether you’re savouring a flaky croissant with a velvety nitro cold brew coffee on your lunch break or indulging in that well-earned after work pint with your colleagues.

As part of this exciting partnership, SALT Leeds City which opened its doors in August 2021 will undergo moderate changes in order to welcome the new innovation and enhance the overall experience. One significant transformation includes extending the already significant bar to span the full length of the venue, creating a dedicated space for hubb’s own serving section. This modification is designed to seamlessly integrate the coffee bar’s offering with the existing ambiance and of course offer customers their very first taste of nitro cold brew coffee on tap in Leeds.

Nitro cold brew coffee is a trend that has been rapidly growing in popularity worldwide. Its smooth and refreshing taste, coupled with a natural sweetness and lower acidity, has made it a favourite among coffee aficionados.

Dr Nadir Zairi said, “I am super excited to be teaming back up with my SALT family and bringing the hubb nitro coffee concept to Leeds. By joining our craft coffee concept with SALT’s craft beer and cocktails offering we are showcasing the evolution of the modern venue, catering for everyone from 7am until late.”

“hubb came about from a love of coffee and all of the interactions that centre around coffee experiences. We can promise that love translates to our full menu be it a flat white, nitro cold brew or freshly baked pastry.”

This exciting venture is set to launch to the public on Friday 27th October with free coffee for the first 50 customers. So don’t worry Leeds, it’s only a short wait until you can get your own SALT x hubb fix.

Opening times:
Monday – Thursday 8am – 11pm,
Friday – Saturday 8am – 1am,
Sunday 12pm – 9pm

NEW LEASE OF LIFE FOR HISTORIC COMMUNITY PUB

SALT Brewing & Ossett Pub Company are pleased to announce their joint venture on the renovation and reopening of the incredible Georgian building in the centre of the Horbury community formerly known as ‘The Bingley Arms’.   Now to be affectionately renamed as simply ‘The Bingley’, in line with how locals have always revered this much loved watering hole.

The purchase and refurbishment of the site has seen the breweries invest over £1 million into the venture, the former coaching inn will open its doors for a grand public reopening on Friday 23rd June.

‘The Bingley’ is the first collaboration between SALT and Ossett & an impressive addition to both breweries’ venue portfolios. Heading back to the homeland of Ossett Brewery, The Bingley is just two miles away from the brewery and is the perfect venture for both breweries involved.

Renovation has included a redesigned internal layout, new bar area, essential structural work, new open mezzanine, new Georgian style wooden windows throughout and an open plan street food kitchen.  The interior decor creatively combines the SALT influenced contemporary & modern look alongside Ossett’s traditional features such as real fires and exposed stone.

Situated between the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble canal, the pub enjoys stunning views of both waterways.  The newly constructed front beer garden will seat around 100 customers and to the rear there is a further traditionally flagged seating area, along with a unique decked area directly overlooking the canal. The scenic canal and towpath offer and unrivalled spot for drinkers to sit and enjoy the summer months. The original, prominent ‘Bingley Arms’ stone carved signage has been repainted in gold to further enhance the imposing character of the 18th century building.

The Georgian pub has stood on Wakefield’s Horbury Bridge for over 200 years, originally built in 1822. The Bingley has thousands of commuters passing the busy area around Bridge Road each day.

With a huge range of award-winning craft beer from SALT, alongside traditional cask ales from Ossett, it is set to be every beer-lovers’ heaven. But it’s not just about the beer, they will also be offering a huge range of spirits, wines from Barrique Fine Wines (the groups own wine wholesaler), Cocktails “On Tap”, soft drinks and much more.

Delicious Asian street food will be up for grabs on the second floor by street food vendor, Baobros23, famous in West Yorkshire for its award-winning Asian steamed buns.

Owner Jamie Lawson said: “The reopening of this once extremely popular pub is a key post Covid investment for our two breweries, SALT and Ossett. We are so excited to put this landmark pub back on the map after an exciting face lift which will inject new life into the Horbury Bridge community.

“We rescued the Bingley with ambitious restoration plans. Those plans were put on hold by the pandemic hitting the hospitality sector particularly hard but after 6 months of hard work we are ready to open the doors. We look forward to welcoming both old and new customers back to The Bingley with a unique site that offers something to all”

We can’t wait to open the doors & welcome you all for a pint or two!
