Restauranteur extraordinaire Liam Tomlin has just opened a new Chefs Warehouse at the iconic Tintswalo Atlantic Boutique Hotel on Chapman’s Peak Drive, Cape Town.

Chefs Warehouse at Tintswalo will be headed by general manager Jami de Witt and Braam Beyers as head chef, who are moving over from Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia, under the guidance of Liam Tomlin and chef patron Ivor Jones.
The 25-year-old head chef, Braam Beyers, says they draw inspiration for the menu from the surroundings — noting the magnificent Atlantic coast upon which the restaurant sits and the sprawling fynbos that surrounds them. Braam has been at Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia since 2017 after returning from the Institut Paul Bocuse in Lyon, France. He has worked his way up from a junior position to being appointed senior sous chef upon his return from New York after “staging” at Aska as well as 3 Michelin star restaurant, eleven Madison Park.
The venue is one of the most beautiful and unique not just in Cape Town, but certainly the world. Although just minutes from the Cape Town CBD, the experience is resort like and completely peaceful.

It’s October and that means OKTOBER FEST. The iconic German Beer Festival. A reason to celebrate. And if it’s one thing South African’s know how to do well, it’s celebrate! Any chance for a good time and we’ll take it.
Although the real Oktober Beer Fest in Germany has been cancelled this year due to Corona, there are still some good places to celebrate around South Africa. Responsibly of course. Below are some of our clients around the country that offer the perfect (Covid compliant) venue to celebrate.
KAAPSTADT BRAUHAUS
You don’t get more German than the Kaapstadt Brauhaus (Cape Town Brew House). With branches in Durbanville, Langebaan and the world famous V&A Waterfront they offer a menu of traditional German cuisine, including eisbein, schnitzels, pretzels, German sausages and alpine pizza. Often with live music, The Kaapstadt Brauhaus is always festive and the perfect venue to celebrate.
A little piece of Germany in Randburg. Schwabinger Stuben is one of the best and most well known German restaurants in Johannesburg. It’s not just the food – it’s the experience. Traditional and hearty German fare is served at wooden benches in this rustic pub-restaurant. The menu ranges from traditional German Stubenbrett to Eisbein to Schnitzel to Wurst. Every dish is complemented with one of a huge variety of local and imported beers.
If you’ve never tried a Forester’s Lager or Bosun’s Bitter you’re missing out. These are just 2 of the 8 craft beers made on site at Mitchell’s Brewery. AND if you’ve never experienced the somewhat notorious festivities of this Brew House then you are missing out even more! Mitchell’s Brewery, is South Africa’s Original Craft Brewery established in 1983. Based in the beautiful Garden Route, where people live in harmony with nature and strive to protect the environment, Mitchell’s motivation behind their craft beer is presented in their slogan: “Beer. Naturally”. Mitchell’s craft beers have no artificial additives, so you can be guaranteed only the finest quality brew. Great care is taken to create the purest taste and the lack of unnecessary fizz won’t leave you feeling bloated. If you looking for a seriously good time in Kynsna, then look no further.

Founder and CEO of the Rockets Group, Sean Barber, is a renowned restauranteur. Like many others in the hospitality industry he said the lockdown had “destroyed us’ in the video below. But never one to give up Sean has fought through and has risen stronger, opening a new store in Menlyn this weekend which we proudly supplied.
THE DARK TIMES…
NEW BEGININNGS…
With the help of his team including Brent Bands and Ashley James, Sean is opening a new Rockets in Menlyn this weekend. Situated at trendy 209 Aramist Avenue, Time Square, it is decorated in the same fresh industrial chic theme synonymous with the brand. A massive 50 meter long outdoor bar features and is sure to host many a party ahead.
THE BRAND
A delicious, elegant menu, industrial-chic styling, a buzzing night life vibe, and even a Men’s grooming salon, Rockets is more than just a restaurant chain, it’s a lifestyle brand. As Sean calls it, it’s “Sensory Restauranteering”. How the food looks, how it tastes, how the restaurant smells, what music is playing, how the spaces are decorated, every aspect is carefully thought out . The result is one of South Africa’s most powerful and aspirational restaurant brands and we wish them every continued success in the years ahead!
We were thrilled to have recently supplied the new Kruger Station in Skukuza. Encompassing everything from a deli to restaurant, bar and a kids’ zone, Kruger Station is the new communal heartbeat of the park and an essential stop in the Kruger National Park travel experience. General Manager, Gavin Ferreira and Chef Andrew Atkinson have put together something truly unique and have opened their doors now as part of the rebirth of the local hospitality industry.
The entire Kruger Station experience is centred around the magic of the station’s past, paying homage to a significant piece of South African history. The actual train that ran through the park bringing a game viewing public to appreciate the splendour that was then the Sabie game reserve today resides as the centerpiece of this Restaurant.
The Kruger Station is part of the exciting Kruger Shalati Train on a Bridge hotel project. This is a much-anticipated and very different destination for visitors to the Kruger National Park. Permanently stationed on the historically-rich Selati Bridge above the Sabie River, Kruger Shalati will offer the most unique luxury accommodation in the re-envisioned train.
In the 1920s the train would park overnight in the exact spot where Kruger Shalati will be positioned. Offering 31 rooms, consisting of 24 carriage rooms and 7 Bridge House rooms, all of which will provide ultimate luxury.
For the traveller who has done and seen it all, it takes innovative and creative thinking to identify an opportunity to excite and delight. Now nearing completion this project is generating international attention and we can’t wait to see the finished product. Once again the South African Hospitality industry is showing its uniqueness, creativity and resilience and we couldn’t be prouder!
Known for its pristine turquoise water, Langebaan has always been a favourite holiday destination for South Africans, especially water sport enthusiasts. After a rough year for the hospitality industry it is starting to see signs of recovery. We recently supplied two brand new Hotels here that are confidently opening their doors for the summer season ahead.
NEW HOTELS OPENING FOR SEASON
With incredible natural beauty and a resilient and determined people we are confident that the South African hospitality industry will overcome. Let’s support local as we push towards fresh new beginnings.
