Salt & Pepper Shakers

Hospitality Connect lists 473 salt and pepper shakers, mills and grinders for restaurants, cafes, pubs and hotels, with ranges from Peugeot, Cole & Mason and Chef Inox in beechwood, stainless steel and coloured finishes.

The decision is shaker or mill. A shaker holds ground salt or pepper and is the quicker, cheaper option for a table setting that is reset many times a day. A mill grinds whole peppercorns or salt crystals at the table, which changes the aroma and the presentation and suits a restaurant where the table setting is part of the experience. Mills vary in grinding mechanism and in the number of grind settings. For either, check the fill opening and the size, because a table set is handled constantly and needs to be quick to refill.

Mill care and longevity

• Use only dry rock salt or sea salt: Iodised table salt clumps and damages the grinder. Stick to the salt the mill was specified for.
• Don't wash wooden mills: Wipe with a dry cloth. Water swells the timber and warps the body. Stainless and ceramic-bodied mills can be wiped with a damp cloth.
• Empty mills before storage: Salt left in a wood mill draws moisture and rots the body from the inside.
• Tighten the cap monthly: Constant adjustment loosens the grind cap; a quick check on cleaning night keeps grind size consistent.
• Buy spare grinders for high-use mills: Peugeot grinder cores are user-replaceable — keep one in the office for the inevitable pass-night failure.
