[[bob]], [[Martin]] and phil visited on a Thursday night in December. When we turned up at 20:30 they were full but took are mobile number and called us when there was a table spare. Since there was a pub next door this wasnt too bad and the wait was only about 20 minutes. We actually walked past the restuarant the first time we went past due to their being road works obscuring it slightly.

[[bob]], [[Martin]], and Phil visited on a Thursday night in December 2009. When we turned up at 8:30pm they were full, but they took our mobile number to call us when a table came free &#8212; since there was a pub next door this wasn't too bad, and the wait was only about 20 minutes.

We started with a combo platter of biltong, boerewors, and chicken wings (&pound;13.50). The chicken wings were slightly disappointing, being not quite hot enough for [[bob]]'s taste, but the boerewors and biltong were fine. For our mains we all had a 20oz T-bone steak (&pound;20 including chips and green pepper sauce). This was good steak cooked rare as requested (much like at the Chiswick branch).

A bottle of Windhoek was &pound;3.25. We also had a bottle of Spice Route Pinotage (&pound;33) which was very tasty.

Accessibility: At least three steps up to get in, and there isn't really space to move around in a wheelchair inside.
