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.

    The Lanzerac Taphuis offered everything (and more) we wished for - tranquility and serenity, the beauty of nature and history and servicing of the highest standard. The menu offered a wide variety of interesting options - warm, freshly baked mini bread rolls and butter, love the idea of sharing plates for starters and the main menu was a feast. The only let down was that there was no oysters available yesterday...next time......!

    Enjoyed a special family dinner with good food and excellent wine. Slightly expensive menu but excellent choices and great variety with superb traditional South African twists. Flowers had to be removed for all guests to see each other and chairs slightly too deep for table counter top. Music in Taphouse annex perhaps slightly to modern and upbeat.
