We had a fantastic visit - we are always made to feel so welcome and love coming. The food is lovely and there's a great selection of drinks. A great team of people too. We also loved the covered outdoor area. Thanks for another great afternoon - we shall look forward to our next visit. Thank you.

Food was really tasty and the cocktails were amazing! The table was covered by a large umbrella so we stayed dry despite the heavy rain and there was a heater at our table to keep us warm. Would definitely go back!

Our local South African joint! Best boerewors I’ve had in the UK and the biltong Mac and cheese is insanely good! The service is excellent and everyone is super-friendly! The outside space is also cool and is equipped with heaters. 100% recommend

What a great place! Really friendly & welcoming. Our first meal out after lockdown and we really enjoyed it. The food was great (veggie meze) the cocktails delicious and the staff were lovely. As two young pensioners we were made to feel welcome and not at all out of place. Lovely atmosphere, just really nice to eat good food with a buzz of conversation around us. Such a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. A great place for all ages. We’ll definitely be back for more margaritas and pecan & date boozy tart! Great place!
