    Beautiful resturant and extremely friendly staff I left my phone at the resturant and the manager drive it back to me. Huge thanks. The starter and fire course was very good but the pudding was not to our liking But overall it is a beautiful place for a Sunday lunch. We would have preferred a choice other than pork and it would have been nice to perhaps have a choice of starter and pudding too. But perfect attention to detail. And we will go back

    Main and starter was exceptional, especially tje steak, cous-cpus end the simalina bread. The service was really great with hot water bottles for your lab on a cold night a great touch. The venue was also exceptional and the wine recomendation with the food really appreciated. The desert was a bit of a let down as the sponge cake hower big in size required a source to pair with the taste cake. In general one of the best meals and service we have had in a long time and i will recomend The Crags Country Lodge to anyone wanting an exceptional night out. Theuns Fourie
