A brightly lit, eclectic restaurant, Salero features hanging globe lights, mismatched chairs and tables, large windows, patterned wallpaper, lush indoor plants, and framed artwork covering the walls.

Our Lounge

Salero Lounge is your home away from home, serving up delicious food and drinks all day, right on your doorstep. We’re here to bring people together, and our vibrant atmosphere shifts throughout the day with every new wave of guests. We take pride in our Lounge and its community, with one simple goal: to make sure every customer leaves happy.

We often get asked about meanings behind Lounge names – so here goes… Salero, meaning salt shaker in Spanish, is inspired by it’s home town  Maldon – linking to Maldon salts. Too tenuous? Naa.
