Had a great meal. Particularly happy with the prawn starter. Staff also happy to give a leftover steak bone for my dog. And he was happy to be there and be allowed to sit on the seats.
They provided a water bowl and a few small bone shaped treats.
The potato side come with a fantastically crisp skin.
We had a really nice Sunday lunch to celebrate my friends birthday. And one of the best restaurants I've been in a long time. And nice to not go up into town to have a top meal.
We were a group of 6 and had selection of snacks, starters, mains and desserts and it was all top notch. All the flavours were great and very little to fault. Our only criticism was the roast beef pieces were small and thin, so wouldn't say its your typical Sunday roast.

Service was immaculate from the moment we got in. Staff were always on hand, very attentive, polite, friendly and catered for the varying diet needs of our table. Despite the ridiculous warm weather and kitchen heat they remained very professional and calm.
The venue is an old pub turned into a restaurant and fairly cosy inside, which we enjoyed as it had a warm and classic feel. And the decor and lighting suited the environment. There's street parking in the side road which was handy.
Would definitely like to go back as well as try out the other Kudu restaurants if this was anything to go by. Big thank you to the team for hosting us.
Old pub turned seminal introduction to - if you've never been to the country - South African cuisine. Does a sharing steak that's good enough by the meat alone, but is differentiated from many equivalents by its sauce. Many of the other dishes were also initially familiar, but made memorable by some unexpected lift in the cooking. Let down by the up-selling to four courses by the staff - you don't need the snacks.
