We have had lots of fun prepping for Summer Nights 2026. Tasting the new Small Plates menu, trying a variety of craft beers to offer a good selection. Plus lots of good old favourites.

We were looking through some old records today and found the original menus from 1993. Everything was under R20 and the menus were handwritten and photocopied.
Bronwen and Janine have been with us for many of these years and were remembering the popular dishes and stories from the past. The iconic Eggs Benedict and the crepes served with caramel sauce.
