Henry Salt

This is a article about the 1971 father. You may be looking for the 2005 father of Veruca Salt.

Henry Salt is the owner of Salt's Nut and the father of Veruca Salt. He is almost married to his wife, Henrietta Salt. Mr. Salt spoils Veruca with his money and also falls down the garbage chute.

Salt accompies Veruca to the chocolate factory. He acts friendly towards Sam Beauregarde, unlike the rivalry both Violet and Veruca have. This could mean that Mr. Salt might have a business partner. In the 1971 version, he is described as middle aged.

When Veruca falls in the garbage chute, Henry goes after her saying 'Veruca, hold on!" then falls in. They are both not seen coming out of the factory. But it could be that Mr. Salt did learn a lesson about to not spoil her child a lot.

Mr. Salt is potrayed by Roy Kinnear (a English character actor).
