We Say

Food
No boring combinations here – opt for the roast chicken, corn and cashew nut spring roll with a parmesan salad, or prawn tempura with feta, avocado and mandarin salad. Smoked warthog carpaccio with parmesan shavings comes with a blueberry balsamic reduction, while mains include the likes of lamb loin chops with harissa and hummus, or duck confit with polenta and vegetables.

Wine
Lesser-known SA wines, with interesting bubblies on offer.

Service
A manager is always on hand to assist with requests.

Ambience
Informal in a country- style setting, it’s not overly decorated, just a great relaxed eat-out venue. It may seem slightly off the beaten track, but there are no safety concerns.

And...
With a central courtyard with tall trees, children can be kept under a watchful eye – and half portions are available for little ones. (HF)

This is a venue which does not warrant a return visit! While the food was acceptable (although their focus was clearly on quantity rather than quality), the level of service and the standard of the venue was shocking. In fact, I cannot remember when last I experienced ...
