I was degraded and humiliated by customers outside because I am apparently poor because of the car I drive! None of them were obeying the law by wearing masks. The woman that was calling me words I refuse to mention, name is Charmaine, but luckily I know the law so I took a photo of their cars no plate. Already layed criminal charges and opened a civil case at SAPS.

I always enjoy shovels. For a pub their food is top notch. Beer is a bit expensive but nothing ridiculous. The bar ladies are always very friendly and the staff in general does effort to make you feel welcome. Even the manager/owner is friendly and welcoming.

Never been there but I live just over the road from it and they do not consider the people that live in its close proximity. And no consideration at all for the noise that comes from there either. But I am led to believe that there food is very good.

Small, cosy pub, with style and culture. Pretty barmaids that will choone you stukkend if you are not friendly; but the service is great and still done with a smile. The food is great.This is a place for a real kuier / hanging and drinking with friends. Remember its cosy. It may remind you of some small British pubs you have visited before.
