It’s never been
Just about the food
Luke Dunlea and Luke Burns first crossed paths back in 2016, when Luke D employed Luke B’s older sister at a Nantwich restaurant – the kind of chance connection that turns into something bigger.
Over the years that followed, a shared obsession with hospitality grew into a genuine friendship, and somewhere
along the way, into a shared dream: a place of their own.
Between them they bring operations, branding, and guest experience know-how, plus years spent visiting the venues
they loved around the country and quietly taking notes.
SOLT is what happens when you put all of that together – not a tribute act to somewhere else, but a place built around how people actually want to eat, drink, and spend time together.
Our philosophy is short: keep it simple, do it properly,
and make people feel truly taken care of.
No rushing… no waiting… no set routine.
Just sharing great food, enjoying another drink and making time for the people we love.
The food arrives promptly.
The drinks keep coming.
The conversation never stops.
It’s not just our kind of place… it’s for everyone.
