Mrs T's famous signature dishes

Our Executive Chefs are proud to feature Beatrice Tollman’s famous signature dishes on their menus, which have been collected, refined and perfected through the generations, and are personally taught by Mrs Tollman herself. These dishes, including our delicious homemade bread baskets, Mrs T’s famous chicken noodle soup and king prawn stroganoff, reflect the seasonality, heritage and provenance of each of our locations.

The Curry Room Curry Selection

Our legendary curry selection

The journey began at The Oyster Box in Umhlanga, where Executive Chef Kevin Joseph, one of South Africa’s most celebrated chefs, introduced an incredible curry buffet reflecting the country’s diverse flavours and spices. Today, our curry menus are world-renowned.

A quintessentially English tradition

Afternoon Tea is upheld in its finest form at each of our hotels and the locations are just as impressive. In London, guests can enjoy a regal experience overlooking the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace, while at The Oyster Box in Umhlanga, the Palm Court offers an elegant space under magnificent chandeliers purchased from the Savoy Hotel in London.

Romantic picnics

Our passionate teams are experts at packing a hamper of homemade treats for a delicious picnic, and are adept at picking the perfect spot to enjoy our homemade fare, from beautiful lakes and mountain trails among the fynbos to private gardens and London’s Royal Parks.

Dine in magnificent surroundings

There are many beautiful spots to linger al fresco over dinner, from terraces overlooking the ocean to shaded courtyard gardens in the English countryside... For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, enjoy dinner in a rustic and secluded cottage in the heart of the African reserve, or dine by candlelight against the night skies of the Cederberg Mountains.
