Midlands Fable Taproom — Restaurant in uMgeni Local Municipality

In spite of us being only 1 of 3 tables (only couples at tables) on which one would assume should be a busy night (month end) and with 6 staff members in attendance... Service wasn't very attentive. We had to keep calling the waiter over to order drinks... Then meal.... Then a second drink.. Then to order dessert... And had to signal again when we were ready to leave. I ordered the hot honey pizza. Was a bit worried about the vast amount of crust around the pizza... Turned out it was the best thing about it. In fact, loved it! Delicious and fluffy inside and crunchy on outside. Pure bliss. However the inside was very soggy from toppings and one couldn't really hold it up. Very spicy which I liked but not hint of honey taste.... Which the salami and other salty toppings needed. It needed a hint of sweet.. The other table order was the bacon and avo pizza. It was adequate and as expected... But also the inside base a bit soggy. Ordered the cheesecake... Unfortunately the waitress didn't tell us they had no more of the burnt orange (or whatever it said on menu) glaze to serve with and just brought it to table with a dollop af plain yogurt to eat it. Would have liked the option to change the order if something wasn't available. Overall atmosphere lovely.. Staff friendly but not overly attentive and food slightly pretentious and not quite hitting the spot. We were maybe just unlucky on...

Visited the Fable Taproom on 21/03/2024 since it was the only establishment open in Currys Post during the week. My family and I were very impressed with the property, grounds and the building itself. I ordered the Fable Stout and it was excellent. Being a stout enthusiast, I regard it possibly better than Guinness. I ordered a special called a Lamb Foldover and I am still taken aback by the lovely flavours. Never tasted anything this good in a very long time. Even the meals my family ordered were exceptional. The ambiance and artwork in the restaurant was something else. This was our first time on this side of the freeway of the Midlands meander , and I have fallen in...

Firstly, massive shout-out to Connor. A few weeks ago I was waiting for my partner to arrive at the taproom and unfortunately crashed her car on the way there. I obviously got up to leave, told Connor what happened, and he immediately went to grab a first aid kit and came with me. He waited with us until everything was sorted out. A huge thank-you to him.

Also the pizza is absolutely world class and thank you so much for having great vegan options. Oh and the vegan brownie...
