In 2025, they were named by Deliveroo as ‘Independent Restaurant of the Year’ across the island of Ireland, the top spot at the annual food awards.
They have launched its ‘Salad Open’ competition to give customers a chance to freshen up their menu and also be in with the chance of winning £2,000.
A spokesperson said: “Ever dreamed of seeing your own dish on a restaurant menu? This is your moment.
“We’re inviting passionate food lovers (home cooks, trained chefs, and everyone in between) to create our next big menu item.
“The selected creation won’t just earn bragging rights! It will be featured on our menu for an entire season and win a £2,000 cash prize.”
Those who make it into the competition will also be part of an exclusive behind-the-scenes mini social series, documenting the journey from concept to final judging.
The competition will take place on March 3 in Belfast, where the competitor will have 1.5 hours to prepare and serve their dish.
Judging criteria includes menu selection, taste, appearance, presentation and judges Q&A after cooking and you must explain the ingredients and a rationale for their use.
Owner Peter Coleman told Belfast Live: “The Salad Open is a fun new campaign from Seed, and we’re buzzing to get everyone involved. Whether you’re a home cook, have a go to signature dish, or just think your salad deserves a spot on our Spring menu, this is your moment.
“It’s something totally different for Belfast, and we’re really excited to see what salads the contestants bring to the table.”
