For mains we had the boerie burger with sweet potato fries, which was unusual but extremely good, we would travel back just for that alone! The venison was meltingly tender, with lovely mustard mash.
The only problem was that afterwards we didn't have room for dessert!
I definitely recommend eating here and we will...
