Great restaurant. We drove past and dropped in for a quick lunch. We were pleasantly surprised. Looks like an ideal spot if you have small kids, they have a play area and child minders. There is a seperate deck area that looks out onto the cricket field, for those without kids. Room for private functions also. We had pizza, it was great. Great taste and value for money. They also have specials during the week. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 150–200 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

The staff are so lovely and friendly, and the atmosphere is excellent. Great variety on the menu, and lots and lots for the kids to do. Family vibes without compromising on quality. Food is a bit pricy but worth it. Also, the child minders are fantastic - for tired moms who just want to eat a meal while it's hot with two hands, you can't beat the care here.

Great restaurant for the entire family. They have a huge playground for the kiddies! The food is also good, although the seafood pasta was too oily. The food is good portions, very filling. The prices are not bad either. My children didn't enjoy the creamy sauce that was served with the chicken strips. It's kind of sour and tasteless, some seasoningcould elevate the flavour! Overall experience was not bad. We went back earlier this month. Our first visit was on Freedom Day Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 500+ Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Pulled Pork Pizza

What a Gem of an establishment!! Something for everyone really.... From little kids to Adults. Huge shaded outdoor play area for kids that kept our Littles busy for hours. If you don't like kids or are a big kid (or teen) you can sit out on the balcony overlooking the green or even inside, and it feels like a competely different restaurant. There are also Board games for the competitive type.... Our breakfast was lovely & our server, Abigail, was incredibly tentative and helpful with our very busy table. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person R 100–150 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great venue, bonus that you based on a heritage spot, bonus point with given views and surrounding area! Definitely star given for creative menu and something to be enjoyed by all... Pricy but given the area, would or does make sense but some items Definitely over priced and not worth the excessive pricing.. Given star for kiddies play area with kiddies minors - well thought through... Pizza 🍕 - why don't you make your own pizza base? Why bought in... just a thought! Taste overall for pizzas 🍕 were tasty ... not dry... not selfish with toppings! Italian kisses - for the price we pay very much a disappointment! Our waitress was very friendly and helpful even though you were busy and had birthday parties, we were not forgotten! Another downfall - your bathrooms 🚻 this was sure a let down.... filthy .... smells bad and well overcrowded from people from outside sports field.... there is not control over this patrons and walk in from outside! Definitely a venue with so much potential.... given the venue and the extras you offer!!! Will I go back to try your veal or pregos... I actually don't know... many not over the weekend.... Maybe during the week..... Service Dine in Meal type Lunch

It's one of those places you can drive by for years and never know was there. A real old school gem you rarely find nowadays. Relaxed oasis, dependable menu, good coffee, and friendly staff and management. What more could you ask.
This place is gold for any parent of young kids. Our kiddies thoroughly enjoy the playground - although a bit neglected and in need of maintenance. Caretakers look after the littles while you sit in peace and enjoy your drinks and meals. The meals are scrumptious and never disappoint. Service is top notch and pricing fair.
