TAPHUIS

The succession of ownership through the eras has layered the Estate’s rich history, and present day Lanzerac honours the rich and vast legacy by telling the stories of its past. Created during the Rawdon era, the Taphuis Bar is a place where guests have created many memories. The treacle brown bar has been welcoming thirsty travellers since the 1960’s, and although damaged in the 2017 fire, it has undergone extensive repairs to retain its original feel, with some of the elements that were salvaged from the flames being reused alongside new additions. The Taphuis’ country-inspired décor is rich in texture with rough stone walls, brick floors and exposed wooden ceilings

The gourmet pub-style menu offers sharing plates and light meals in a relaxed environment overflowing with beautiful country charm. The menu boasts homegrown food sourced from local farmers and suppliers, prepared with creativity and originality by the resident team of chefs. Dining options are either indoors set against an impressive handcrafted bar and large roaring fireplace, or outdoors on the shady terrace complete with garden views.

    Not my first and not my last visit at Lanzerac. Always a pleasure to come here. It was surprisingly empty and quiet when we visited , it was even more a great experience. Thank you Lanzearc and staff .

    Not nearly as good (2026) as our visit last year (2025). Last year the food was exceptional. On our visit yesterday the Kingclip starter was over spiced so the curry flavour completely obscured the fish. The "slow cooked" lamb was rubbery and tough as if it had not been cooked nearly enough and the piece of crackling was simultaneously greasy and soggy as if it had been cooked hours earlier. Out of six guests, only one thought their meal was "good". The service was good but the kitchen let the side down. I will not risk coming back in 2025 but give them one more chance next year.

    Fabulous venue, excellent food, if a little pricey. This is one for special occasions.

    Too many halal compliant dishes, which I don’t eat.
