Been several times times and enjoyed this popular restaurant every time. Situated within 4km of the cbd_ the restaurant is in an old 19th century national monument built of wood and iron.Street parking has a good car guard,Not particularly wheelchair friendly as there are lots of steps.Food Is very good and reasonably priced. Limited wine list that us not overpricedThe oldworld atmosphere makes the place very attractive. The staff are welcoming and efficientThere are daily specials,

Excellent food preparation and quality and equally excellent, friendly and professional service from the waitress, Mikayla, if I remember her name correctly. I asked her many things regarding menu items as it was my first time to eat there, and she was able to give me proper and detailed answers to every question. Well done, I will eat there soon again!

The food was great, but sadly that was all. The place was busy, but waiting to get a waiter to take our order for an hour was much too long. Smokers were both indoors and outdoors. The pub was filled with way too many people - of which none of them wore masks and smoked - a complete violation of COVID-19 regulations.

Smokers can sit where ever they like on weekday evenings. Its turned into a glorified bar. Prices on food are great but whats the point if you cant smell or taste it thanks to second hand smoke. Just order takeaways and eat at home

Food is wonderful, and prices not bad, only problem is trying to communicate with the staff that doesnt understand what you asking them. Can get better staff.

After 6pm smokers can sit wherever they like, even in the no-smoking area. This was the second time i took it up with management. It used to be a nice restaurant but the recent clientele is off-putting

Food was avarage.. Staff friendly.. A lot of flies!!!! I asked the waitor for a citronella candle they did not have.. The waitor told me that apparently a lot of people complain about it, but the owners do not buy citronella oil for the lamp??The toilet where very dirty.. The skurtings in the kitchen DIRTY.. FLOOR DIRTY!!It was my 1st time here.. Never again!Walk Trough the building and look around the fridges and floor.

Great indoor and out door seating. Friendly competent staff. Uncomplicated menu well priced. Kitchen a little slow at peak times; but worth the wait. Potato skins a MUST on the starter menu.

Not the place it used to be, basically just a beer garden now with the cliché disgusting bathrooms. Food was ok. Maybe I am just not the target market anymore.

Great restaurant to have a nice kuier with friends! The layout is also nice and spacious so you can enjoy conversations without too much background noise. The parking is a bit dodgy though, keep your valuables stowed away out of sight.

Review №46

We had a great experience compare to past visits! The new menu is a clear improvement over the old one.The food is great value for money and the drinks are nice and cold. Try the halloumi and mushroom skewer starter and have the mash as a side instead of chips or salad with a main meal. Great home-made fair!

I is a big old house with tables and chairs inside and outside that also serve food and beverages,almost like if you would take a restaurant but throw the layout plan away,that’s what this is......but make nou mistake the food is very good and is at a very good price.So if you feel like eating in a old house or just getting good food at a good price in this area then I definitely recommend the sinkhuis

Prices = GoodService = GoodRestrooms (Male) = GoodAtmosphere = GoodDrinks = Good(didnt see menu, since we were there for a specific special, so I cant comment on the selection)Devor/Ambiance can feel a little bit thrown together, that mostly asts until you take a few deep breaths, and realise that you are not cramped, space, in busy central Pretoria (not CBD, but still churning)Beware, parking is outside the premises. Be responsible and security conscious. Available parking on the opposite side of the road, be safe, KEEP KIDS SAFE (cary, hold hands, no running), cross the road calmly, avoid running (and remember, Look both ways, RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT.Ill update when I have more experiences to inform my opinion. So far, recommended.

Review №77

Im a minority and there were mostly white people. Its an afrikaaner restaurant. It would just be nice to see more colored people there. But the service was okay food was alright. The best part about the restaurant is the outdoors, dining experience between the trees. Besides majority of the people being white j hadnt experienced any sort of negative vibes but having people of color there would be a treat.

Waiters are friendly and helpful. Food and drinks are great. Great value for money. Huge menu section. One suggestion would be to pay some attention to the loose bricks which could cause injury. All and all a great place to go
