A trip to Darling isn’t complete without a meal at Groote Post Restaurant. Situated at Groote Post Wine Estate in the Old Manor House which dates back to 1790. Chef Debbie’s signature modern country cuisine uses the freshest produce, much locally sourced and grown.
You can't get more local than the lamb grazing along the country road on the way, or a springbok in the veldt. The herbs and vegetables come from the garden at Trinity Lodge, their guest house in Darling.
Debbie and Shaun, who runs the restaurant with her, are a formidable husband and wife team. Both are professionally trained - Shaun at the Johannesburg Hotel School, Debbie at the Cordon Bleu School in Johannesburg and Prue Leith’s in London.
Need to know? Open for lunch only - Wednesday to Sunday, Ccosed on Mondays and Tuesdays, closed on Christmas day, New year's day and Good Friday. Dinner by arrangement
