Trip Advisor has revealed its list of 'Hidden Gem' restaurants in the UK and named Tinga on Salt Lane in Salisbury as number four.

The list forms part of Trip Advisor's Travellers Choice Awards and is a coveted accolade in the industry.

Tinga, owned by the Immersive Group, not only serves Mexican food but aims to offer a dining experience that transports you away from the city centre to the warmer climate of South America.

Tinga will soon be celebrating its fifth birthday, and it continues to wow customers with its great food, drinks and environment, all brought to life by its knowledgeable and hard-working team.

"As a small, independent business, receiving this accolade really does mean the world to us and all of our wonderful staff. They continually work above and beyond to deliver the true Tinga experience to everyone who walks through our door.

"Tinga turns five this November, so keep your eyes peeled on our socials for some very exciting birthday events, new menus and updated decor we have planned!"
