Contemporary Spanish tapas on Hanover Street
Salt House Tapas is a vibrant contemporary Spanish tapas and charcuterie eatery on Hanover Street, set in a stunning Grade I listed building in the heart of Liverpool. The kitchen works with fine ingredients to turn out small plates based on traditional recipes, backed by an impressive drinks list that runs to eight sherries, cavas, cocktails and a 30-bin wine selection.
What to order
Build a spread from the 20-plus tapas plates: perfectly salted cured ham, pan-fried scallops with pea purée and seared fillet steak with a crisp potato croquette are standouts. There are plenty of vegetarian choices and a Spanish cheeseboard, and a glass of sherry or cava makes the ideal partner.
Who it’s for
Salt House Tapas is a great choice for sharing plates with friends, a relaxed date or a long lunch. Open from morning until midnight, it suits everything from an afternoon glass of wine to a late dinner.
The space
The room fills the glazed corner prow of Church House, so daylight pours across the tables and half the fun is watching Hanover Street go by. It runs with the easy energy of a true Spanish tapas bar — plates landing as they’re ready, sherry by the glass, and service rolling from morning coffee to midnight cava without changing gear.

Very good tapas. The scallops and the 24hrs sous vide lamb rump are must orders. The Gambas has a good spice kick and came bubbly hot.
An absolutely fantastic experience. The welcome was flawless. He accounted for my daughter's allergy and marked on the menu what she could choose. Tasty tapas and cocktails. We were kept in constant contact. We'll be bac…
Excellent service, especially the manager was very friendly, a big choice of food, good portions. Really enjoying the Friday evening atmosphere.
As someone who's quite fussy about food, I was genuinely impressed. I don't usually like fish, but this dish completely changed that for me. The fish was cooked wonderfully — perfectly moist and full of natural flavour,…
The service was friendly, the hygiene good, however I doubt whether the food should be salty? First time here, and most of the food was very salty, again, I have no idea whether it was meant to be that way. Overall, it's…
