Just some mental meanderings. Mostly restaurant reviews and, well, rants.

Kasteelberg Country Inn and Bistro

We stopped here for lunch in Jan while on a day out. This place looks beautiful. Chairs are exceptionally comfortable, tables clean. They had water atomisers to help keep the temperature down.

However the food was distinctly average. I had the New York Burger which wasn't awful, but my wife had the pasta which she said was terrible - lukewarm, flavourless, overcooked and poorly presented.

But the biggest problem was the service. It felt like geological timescales passed between the fleeting moments that a waiter was on the floor. Never were we offered anything like 'more drinks' or 'dessert' and we had to chase everything. I noticed other diners also becoming frustrated at the service too, and the table next to us rebuked the (only?) waiter for only bringing their cakes after they had finished their drinks.

We eventually gave our orders to the person who cleared and re-made the tables.

Gave them a tip of R2.50. Not even sure they'll get the point...

Wouldn't go back.
