Time Out5 days ago
At the intersection of Redfern and Surry Hills in Wunderlich Lane lies a spacious, airy venue perfect for aesthetic corporate retreats to pumping parties. And it's operated by the group behind legendary luxury caterer Cook & Waiter, so expect the food to be next level. The fabulous new Saltbox accommodates up to 400 guests in its three indoor spaces for your next milestone celebration, Christmas party, EOFY event and more.
'The Box' is the star of the show with an impressive sculptured ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows and flowy curtains, flooding the spacious, pillarless room with natural light. The adjacent 'Suites One and Two' are perfect for breakout events, or intimate dinners. Operable walls allow them to be opened up to connect with each other, or extended out to an alfresco balcony. Called 'The Terrace', this all-weather space is heated and covered over-head, and soaks up the atmosphere of the vibrant food and drinks precinct below.
As for food and drink? Cook & Waiter are curating the menus, so expect some fabulous options. They have built something of a catering empire when it comes to the gorgeous partner venues they work with across Sydney. Their line-up includes the industrial Carriageworks, the excellent new event space Machine Hall, the good-times-only Hordern Pavilion and the whimsical Australian Chamber Orchestra. Saltbox joins the lineup as their first flagship event space.
The Cook & Waiter team have more than a decade of experience working with some of Australia's biggest corporate clients and luxury brands. The menus are crafted with beautiful, high-quality ingredients: think dainty canapes, grazing mezze tables, brownie bars and petit four trolleys.

Shoppers race to get their hands on popular Christmas chocolate spotted on shelves at a major supermarket

A POPULAR Christmas chocolate has been spotted at a major supermarket, despite the big day being five months away. Eagle-eyed shoppers have spotted pouches of Quality Street chocolates on the shelves in Asda. 1 Shoppers have raced to get their hands on Quality Street Favourites pouches The pouches of Quality Street Favourites cost £3.50 for a 334g bag. Every pouch contains just a few flavours of Quality Street chocolate, helping to avoid leaving unwanted sweets at the bottom of your tin. Among the flavours on offer are Mixed Cremes and a Golden Selection. Shoppers have taken to social media to voice their excitement at spotting the popular treats. One person took to Facebook to share the news and said: 'Things are getting festive at Asda.' A second person commented and said: 'I love christmas so it's perfect, just waiting for the Christmas decorations in The Range.' While a third added: 'Might try and get some of these for our pick n mix table xx.' But not everyone was excited about spotting Christmas treats in stores so early in the year. One disgruntled person said: 'In July??' While another added: 'Oh crikey.' It's not the only Quality Street treat on offer in Asda. The supermarket also brought back the Green Triangle-inspired sharing bar after two years. It costs £3.50 for an 84g bar and it has the flavours of the iconic Green Triangle, which is usually found in Quality Street tins. The bars landed on shelves in 2023 but were axed just a year later. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose. Meanwhile, Asda is also selling festive Dairy Milk Winter Wonderland chocolate bars. The milk and white chocolate bar contains Christmas tree-shaped pieces and is described as 'perfect for a stocking filler or a little treat at Christmas time' by Cadbury. It costs £1.64 for a 100g bar. The supermarket is also selling Terry's Chocolate Orange Segsations, which contain five delicious flavours. The bags weigh 360g and cost £3.50. More chocolate news The Quality Street bar isn't the only popular treat to return to supermarkets. Mars recently brought back its White Chocolate Maltesers after 11 years off shelves. Plus more chocolates are launching in supermarkets. Cadbury has released a new Dairy Milk Iced Latte flavour in the UK. The bar combines classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces. Cadbury also recently brought out a White Dipped Twirl that is a mix of milk and white chocolate. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Cadbury to release 2 new Bournville chocolate bars in July

The confectionery company is responsible for a wide range of popular chocolates, including Boost, Crunchie, Creme Eggs, and the classic Dairy Milk. Cadbury has already treated fans to several new releases in 2025, including the Dairy Milk Biscoff and Twirl White Dipped chocolate bars. Shoppers have also spotted a number of discontinued Cadbury chocolates back on UK shelves this year, with the likes of Dream and Crispello chocolate bars making a return. Discontinued UK chocolates and sweets Cadbury to release two new chocolate bars Now Cadbury is set to release two new chocolate bars in stores across the UK, including the likes of Sainsbury's. Bournville Salted Caramel and Bournville Chopped Hazelnut (RRP: £2.20) will appear on shelves before the end of July, according to The Sun. Are you excited about the new Cadbury Bournville chocolate bars? (Image: Sainsbury's) A Mondelēz International (Cadbury owners) spokesperson, speaking to the news outlet, said: "We're excited to be introducing two delicious new flavours to our Cadbury Bournville range, Salted Caramel and Chopped Hazelnut. "The new products will be available at retailers nationwide from late July and will be a permanent addition to our range." Asda shoppers spot first Cadbury Christmas chocolate of 2025 Although Christmas is still five months away, Cadbury festive chocolates are also beginning to hit supermarket shelves. Cadbury Mini Snowballs chocolate bars were found in Asda by Newfoodsuk, much to the excitement of shoppers. One person, commenting on Facebook, said: "Oh wow, I'm still trying to finish this years Easter eggs, better hurry so I can start on the Xmas chocs." Another added: "Still wanna eat it though… even if it is 5 months early." A third person commented: "Omg freaking yes!!" Cadbury's Mini Snowballs chocolate bar received rave reviews upon its release ahead of Christmas 2024. One person, commenting on Amazon, said: "My favourite chocolate bar." Mars has also released its first Christmas-themed chocolates of 2025, with Gingerbread Flavour Maltesers Reindeer spotted on Morrisons' website (£1 for one or £2 for a 5-pack). While most Brits were excited to see the return of Cadbury Mini Snowballs chocolate bars, others said it was "way too early" for Christmas treats to be hitting supermarket shelves. RECOMMENDED READING: Mondelēz International revealed it is not always the company's decision as to when festive treats are released in supermarkets. It explained that retailers are free to choose when products appear on shelves, and "due to supply chain reasons, some products will be on shelves a little earlier". A Mondelēz International spokesperson said: "Most of our range will be available from August 2025, through to Christmas and as long as stocks last. "Due to supply chain reasons, some products ​will be on shelves a little earlier than that."
