Allium
📍 6-7 Ox Row, Salisbury, SP11EU
Serving British food with global influences, Allium is an independent, family-run restaurant located in the heart of the city. Situated on the first floor of Ox Row, overlooking Salisbury’s historic Market Square, Allium was founded by Tim Tonkin back in October 2019.
Taking inspiration from ingredients, Allium has a seasonally evolving menu. Whilst there are some dishes that are more permanent, many are adapted and change as different fruits and vegetables come into season. Their asparagus with confit egg yolk, olives and harissa dressing was a very popular dish back in March when English Asparagus first came into season.
All of Allium’s food is homemade, from their sauces to their ice-cream to their bread. This allows them to tailor all of their food to their bespoke dishes and ensure the quality of their food is exceptional. In 2024, Allium won ‘Best Restaurant’ in the Muddy Stiletto Wiltshire Awards, testament to the hard work Tim and the team put into both their food and their customer experience.
Allium proudly use local suppliers and producers across their menu, but that’s particularly prominent with their drinks. Some of their wines are from fellow Salisbury indie Artisan Wine and Spirit Co, and a selection of their beers are from Dark Revolution and Downton Brewery.
Allium will sadly be closing their doors for the last time at the end of August. Tim and the team have been a huge part of Salisbury’s independent food scene over the last five years and will certainly be missed. From their popular tasting events with wine producers to their cooking demonstrations at Taste Salisbury, Allium has long been a hotspot for all things foodie.
Their last service will be the evening of Saturday 30 August, so be sure to head there for a meal before it’s too late! We’d like to wish Tim and his team all of the best for their last month and their future endeavours…
