Warm welcome on arrival. There was a variety of meat and vegetable dishes, each one delicious. If you don't enjoy the chain restaurant scene, definitely worth a try. Only critique we would like to have had a menu for the drinks.

Wondeful location, with a homely feel. We had the picnic option outside with the hay bales which we really enjoyed as an overall experience. The doggies running around were a delight!

Service was poor - waited 15 mins to be served warm white wine and a beer while there was only one other table occupied. Wine list limited to Fairview. No menu provided an no explanation as to how food is served. Another 10 minutes after we said we would like to order food, the flustered chef/owner arrived and asked if we wanted to eat now. It was already 1.30 and we had no idea what was on offer. She then explained that they provide tapas style dishes, which we generally like. Another 30 minutes passed. No waiter in sight. The food arrived and was OK. Interesting pates. Kaiings. Dry 'vetkoek'. Run of the mill cheese ( blue cheese still wrapped in plastic) and cold cuts. Chicken schnitzel was good. i got the idea that this place focuses on being an events venue. This is not a restaurant. Will not be back.
