IN OUR DNA
We are South African and experts at cooking outdoors on open fires just as the Drovers did here many moons ago. The smokiness adds to the overall flavour of our naturally grown, ethically produced ingredients. You will dine in our heated barn, farm courtyard or outdoors in the fields under the trees. Our fully stocked bar serves farm inspired cocktails as well as a selection of local gins, beers, cider & wine.
OUR FEASTS EXPLAINED
Our feasts are 3 course set menus mainly on Sundays with additional Saturdays based on demand . All of our feasts are fire cooked making it an epic experience to be around. Our menus are shared on Socials so do follow us.
We are up in the hills and as a loyal guest put it “an undiscovered gem of a secret I want to keep all to myself so it doesn’t get booked up”
Our food is a celebration of the seasons, based on fresh seasonal ingredients direct from the fields, grown organically on the farm, locally sourced or foraged from hedgerows around us. We pickle, powder, dehydrate, ferment, make syrups and freeze as much as we can when produce is bountiful to use all year around.
We look forward to meeting you on the farm. If you would like to look around the farm you are welcome to do so for free
If you would like us to cater onsite for a special celebration (anniversary, engagement, big birthday, your festival style wedding) or for your company works do, do get in touch
