Salt &Pepper, Monmouth

Salt & Pepper occupies adjoining premises on Monnow Street in Monmouth, having grown since opening its cook shop and gift shop in 2000 into a small cluster of departments under one ownership, including a clothes shop, a toy shop and a coffee house that expanded into the space between the other units over the years. The cook shop side stocks kitchenware, tableware and cooking equipment, while the gift shop carries cards, homeware and general gifts, and the clothes shop deals in casual and outdoor wear for adults and children. Despite the shopfronts reading as several separate businesses, it operates as a single independent retailer rather than a chain. It sits on Monmouth's main shopping street, within walking distance of the town's other independent shops and cafés.
