In recent times, we have been so overwhelmed with the consistent commercial supply of food and its ever present availability that in a sense we have lost our respect and awe – and indeed joy for the deliverance of our seasonal bounty.

Gone are the days when we hankered in anticipation at the first seasonal harvest of our favourites.  The humility and splendour that embraced us on receiving the blessing of the earth’s bounty and providence are but a thing of the past.

Our ethos is inspired and indeed resonates within these sentiments towards the foods we source, prepare and cook.  And so we are privileged to be bound to the endearing and rich legacy of food farming which is omnipresent on the Oakhurst estate.  The barn being the cradle and crucible of this proud Hout Bay estate’s terroir.

We will endeavour to procure where possible sustainably grown and harvested ingredients, sourced from the closest suppliers – taking into account the quality thereof.  Not only will we honour the soil but the Oakhurst barn’s proximity to the sea and Hout Bay’s fine fishing harbour will be heartily embraced with a consistent offering of fresh SASSI green listed fishes as and when they migrate past our shores.
