Kaleidoscope brought music and musicians to town and now we settle down for a quieter time until the Open Gardens towards the end of September, however the veld is providing its own open garden with a floral show the like of which we haven't seen for several years. Once you have admired the flowers, head into town to The Rude Chef. We are OPEN EVERY DAY. We serve bistro-style lunch and supper dishes and we do take-aways too! We are fully licensed. Vegetarian dishes are available.
