Adriana Scholes, manager of La Tasca, Cuppin Street, has had no complaints from customers.

She said: “If anything customers say the food is bland! Our chef does not like to over-salt food – he thinks it should be left up to the customer to decide how much, if any, salt to add. I have no worries about the salt levels, we follow guidelines from head office.”

La Tasca head of food development Perry Huntley said: “We take the issue of salt content in our food seriously.”
