Welcome to Salt & Barrel

We would currently like to remind our guests that during the summer our students are on holiday.
 Service will resume in October with dates to be confirmed.


A fresh and inviting training restaurant at the heart of the brand new, award-winning Ayrshire College Kilmarnock Campus.
​
Our students prepare delicious 3 course lunches, tempting afternoon teas with sweet treats and evening menus using the best quality, locally produced ingredients. You can enjoy a chilled glass of wine or a soft drink with your meal, then relax with a Puro coffee or speciality tea in our contemporary surroundings. We also accommodate small parties of guests for corporate lunches, celebration birthday treats or festive events.

There is a wide variety of roles and if you have a good work ethic and a desire to provide excellent customer service then working in this industry could be for you. The opportunities are endless and include working with tiny specialist companies, being part of a major drinks business or learning from the masters in the top kitchens.
