FIVE YEARS OF HOMEMADE

Real food, made by hand — every single day.

For five years we've baked our own artisan pies, rolled our own Dutch kroketten and pulled proper coffee from a single, carefully blended medium roast. Everything is made fresh in our Sedgefield kitchen — to eat in our sunny courtyard, take away hot, or pop in the freezer for an easy supper at home. Sit down or to go. Either way, it's the home of homemade.

THE PIES

Some of the best pies on the Garden Route.

Packed with proper meat, not sauce. Our regulars keep people coming back week after week — and our speciality pies, like the legendary Basagna and the Beef & Blonde (slow-braised in blonde ale), are worth the stop on their own.

Beef & Blonde

topside braised in blonde ale, mushrooms & stilton

Basagna

Italian-style mince, mozzarella & mild parmesan sauce

Creamy Chicken

free-range favourite

Pepper Steak

pure beef, mild & peppery

Breakfast Pie

whole free-range egg, bacon & cheddar

A DUTCH SPECIALITY

True Dutch kroketten — crisp outside, soft within.

A-grade topside braised in farm butter, then shredded, rolled and hand-crumbed for that signature contrast: a delicate, melting filling inside a golden, crisp coating. Beef or free-range chicken, served with mustard. Regulars say they're the best this side of the Netherlands — and we're inclined to agree.

PROPER COFFEE

One medium roast. Pulled properly.

We've served the same carefully blended medium roast since day one — flat whites, cortados, a seriously good iced coffee, and the kind of cappuccino that's worth pulling off the N2 for. Pair it with a slice of Dutch almond tart and you've found your new favourite stop.

FOR THE SWEET TOOTH

Tea-time, sorted.

Dutch almond tart, carrot-cake cupcakes, cheesecake — and a tin's worth of tea-time treats: rusks, speculaas, oat crunchies, fruit squares and Dutch butter biscuits. Save room.

EAT IN, TAKE AWAY, OR TAKE HOME FROZEN

A proper Garden Route pit-stop.

Find us just off the N2 between Knysna and Wilderness, next to the Engen at Scarab Market. There's a sunny courtyard to sit in, a spot inside if you'd rather, and friendly faces either way. Browse the local craft stalls while your pie's in the oven — or grab a box of frozen pies for the road.
