SALT Hospitality Recruitment Rebrand at the Café Royal London

Salt Hospitality Recruitment was founded in 2013 by Marcin Maryniak and Mark McCann with John Davey coming on board later that same year.

The company grew steadily within the first few years gaining a strong reputation for delivering an effective recruitment service.
In that time Salt were also asked to assist with training front-of-house staff and occasionally to provide staff and catering for events. This increase in service offering lead us to evolve our company strategy and in June of 2016 we rebranded our company as Forge Hospitality Group to reflect our new direction

SXOLLIE Cider

With time and attention we craft our single varietal SXOLLIE ciders.

WHAT IS SXOLLIE?

From the English word “scallywag”
 From the Afrikaans word “skorrie-morrie”
 From the Dutch word “schoelje” meaning “rascal”
 From the Yiddish word “schoul” meaning “jackal”

Apples sourced from the cool orchards of Elgin in the Cape Town region are pressed, with the fresh juice then fermented in stainless steel tanks. Champagne yeasts are used to ensure an elegant flavour profile, before careful bottling and carbonation that delivers a delicate sparkle to the final product. The result? A light, easy-drinking cider that captures the essence of the fruit.

Cleaner Products - Our philosophy is simple

If we can reduce your spending and improve the sustainability of your business we can achieve our aim and be your supply partner for years to come.

First, as we are a manufacturer, you can buy from the source without paying the margins of middlemen. So you should be saving on the cost of your chemicals.

Second, we look closely at your operation and find ways to improve dispensing options to optimise usage. We also plan new cleaning methods and identify any other ways you can avoid wastage and minimise consumption.

Third, staff training and best practices in cleaning can play a big part in reducing your costs. We will share our experience and insights to help you.

Fourth, we design a system of supply to fit the requirements of your business exactly. It’s tailored, not a take-it-or-leave service.

Finally, you get to deal with the directors of our family-run business. We have a vested interested in making our supplier partnership work for you.

Zuma, Roka, Pied 'A' Terre, The Ledury, Wild Honey & Arbutus The Square and just recently the RAC Club are amongst our happy clients.

The Dark Horse in Bath

The Dark Horse in Kingsmead Square bath has made the top four in a competition to find the best new cocktail bars in the world

The Dark Horse has been built from the ground up by friend Admiral Louis Lewis-Smith,  his family, and friends. Their goal has been to create a space that is welcoming and relaxed, with the highest level of both drinks and service you will find in any bar anywhere in the world.

The menu is compiled of local products and ingredients wherever possible. They use many English wines, liqueurs and spirits, and all of our beers are from the South-West. All fruit and herbs are from as close to Bath as possible, and many are actually foraged from the lush and bountiful hills that surround this fine city.
