Our rib special has been going great; I’m very pleased! A 500 gram portion costs R60 and 250 grams of ribs costs R35 :-). It comes with chips and we prepared a lovely fruit chutney to go with it. Sold stacks yesterday :-D

We’ve just lately had great success with a our new pies; fillings include Pork, Butternut and Cinnamon, Chicken and Roast Vegetables and Tomato Bredie. Our home made burgers, on home made buns, continue to sell well. This year is looking great!

Period.

Ah well :-) There’s been good surf, a little red wine, some excellent steak and tonight is Earth Fair Food Market again, which is always fun and good business too. September and October have been so much better than last year, which was shocking with the recession and all. Looking...
