As the days grow cooler, there’s a hot new reason to head out to the Helderberg.
Firehorse temporary restaurant at Vergelegen Wine Estate has announced its winter specials, plus a dinner service on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Firehorse opened in April to ensure that guests could continue to enjoy the Somerset West estate’s signature hospitality, while restoration work is underway at its Stables restaurant, after a fire gutted the premises.
The delicious, value-for-money offers are:
Monday to Friday breakfasts
Scrambled egg and crispy bacon croissant served with coffee or tea for R95 per person.
Dinners
• Thursday: Two burgers for R225.
• Friday: Beer-battered hake with chips and tartare sauce for R195 per person.
• Saturday: 300g sirloin steak with pepper sauce and chips for R225 per person.
Sunday lunches
• Roast of the day, served with a glass of Heritage Range wine, R295 per person.
“Whether guests want an easy week-night dinner, a relaxed family lunch, or a cosy catch-up with friends, Firehorse offers a welcoming atmosphere and hearty comfort food, backed up with friendly and efficient service,” says chef Michelle Barry.
