We support local, all our fresh produce is supplied by local companies within Hout Bay. We will always strive to bring you the freshest ingredients throughout our dishes. In line with this, all our menu items are subject to stock availability.

STARTERS:
We are bringing back the traditional starters. Made the same way using fresh ingredients like they did years ago.

JOLLY COOK'S SPECIALITY:
All our steaks are matured for a minimum of 30 days. Our meat supplier was established in 1893 and guarantees us the finest grain fed cuts of meat. We are passionate about meat and the way it is treated in the cold chain and how it is prepared before it is served to you.

Our pizza bases are made from the finest Italian flour. All other ingredients are specially selected from the top International suppliers. With our Pizza and Pasta we use the top graded Italian tomato and mozzarella cheese.

    Unfortunately the food was not good this visit. It is normally very good, but not this time.

    Delicious food and great service. The waitress was very knowledgeable and accomodating. My gluten free pasta was really tasty and the rest of the family was also very happy with their meals.

    We all have our preferences, but point me to a better steak at that price at any restaurant in Cape Town and I'll give it a go. If that quality can be repeatedly delivered at that pricing, why go elsewhere.
