“Local treat was outstanding”
Let me be clear. I'm not a "Specials" person. Inevitably, the specials are disappointing and the old adage "price is what you pay, value is what you get" holds true; so I stick to a menu.Last Sunday we decided, on the spur of the moment, to go for a "Cheap & Cheerful" and thought we'd try the Hussar Steenberg special - R130 for a two course meal. The food is always excellent but, frankly, we were not expecting fireworks. Well, we were blown away. The experience was a pleasant surprise in every respect. We started with spicy chicken livers - and we could've left after that - simply delicious; the best we've had in years. The calamari strips were crisply fried, not oily and cooked to a turn.The portions were generous - normal starter portions, no "special" down-sizing or cutting corners.We ordered a rump and fish & chips for the mains. Again, exactly the same as their standard portions.... the steak was as it should be: well-matured, properly trimmed beef, grilled to temperature - perfect! The fish was lightly battered, not oily and served with mushy peas- delicious. No bull, just honest, yummy food.When the special ends, remember how hard the owner has worked to keep an evening out affordable.. and it doesnt need to bust the bank in future. We went back tonight and had a burger- brilliant. We love good food. It is one of our "spoils".The owner, Jason, doesn't know us other than as very occasional diners. He clearly practices his craft and loves what he does. He wasnt even there on Sunday, so it clearly works just as well in his absence which is a credit to his team. Thank you for an exceptional "special" experience.
