3/5 James K. 6 years ago on Google
Soup
and
Guinness
bread
was
good.
(2/5
green
stars)
Visited
the
Salthouse
for
a
light
lunch
a
few
months
ago
and
thought
the
food
was
good
but
their
coffee
was
not
great.
Their
parsnip
soup
and
the
Guinness
bread
that
came
with
it
were
both
tasty,
and
decent
value
at
€5
(the
soup
was
very
substantial).
Service
was
not
very
attentive;
the
server
couldn’t
answer
a
basic
question
about
their
coffee
and
they
were
very
hard
to
get
hold
of
when
it
came
to
paying.
I’m
probably
being
a
bit
harsh
about
the
service,
but
when
you
decorate
with
chandeliers
you
fancy
upholstery
you
are
also
setting
expectations
about
service.
I
prefer
restaurants
that
are
more
down
to
earth
and
rustic,
but
having
said
that,
the
Salthouse
is
nicely
decorated
and
the
huge
images
on
the
walls
are
nicely
done.
I’m
also
giving
them
2/5
“green
stars”
for
social
and
environmental
impact,
based
on
these
reasons:
• Having
reviewed
a
hundred
places
for
social
and
environmental
impact,
Salthouse
gets
the
prize
for
sheer
lack
of
information.
No
website
or
info
available
online
(on
their
Facebook
page,
etc.)
and
no
statements
on
their
menu
about
their
ingredients
(sources,
sustainability,
certifications,
etc.).
• I
do
get
it
that
you
just
want
to
run
a
restaurant
and
not
bother
with
all
the
rest
of
it,
but
sharing
info
with
customers
is
important
these
days
–
even
just
on
the
menu
is
fine.
• I
did
find
their
coffee
supplier
(GreenBean
Roasters)
and,
fittingly
enough,
found
that
they
also
provided
almost
no
information
on
their
social
or
environmental
impact!
(i.e.,
no
mention
of
direct
or
fair
trade
relationships,
or
whether
organic
or
shade-grown,
etc.)
• Not
many
plant-based
options
on
their
menu
(vegetarian/vegan).
• For
ingredients
like
salmon
or
prawns,
no
info
on
sourcing.
• It’s
entirely
possible
that
they
have
wonderful
relationships
with
local
organic
farmers,
sustainable
seafood
suppliers,
etc.
There’s
just
no
information
available.
Will
update
if
I
come
across
more
info.
