Opening Times

Winter Opening (October - March):

Summer Opening (April - September):

"As a South African, I wanted our customers to have the opportunity to experience some of my favourite Cape Malay dishes such as Sosaties, Potjiekos (blackpot stew) and Bobotie, as well as other, more contemporary, English choices." Our fish & seafood is so fresh there is no time to print it on the menu we just let you know on our Blackboard what the daily selections are!"
