Barristers, Main St, Newlands. Welcome Winter with a Rosemary Fillet ...and so the
rains have come, at last! With Easter, winter is well and truly on its way. At Barristers
winter is a special time; warm and cosy in the restaurant, great atmosphere in the pub
and fresh and bracing on the deck (okay its freezing cold!)...rugby at Newlands and
great hearty Barristers food...and suddenly all is well in Newlands again... To welcome
winter we‟ve decided to give our regulars a very special treat and so for the months of
April and May we will be offering you a Monday Special of two Rosemary Fillets for the
price of one! The deal is simple – on Mondays, during April and May, choose from a
200g fillet at R140 or the 300 g at R160 and you will receive a FREE 200g Rosemary
Fillet. This comes with a choice of chips, baked potato or a side salad; veggies are an
optional extra and to avoid us going bankrupt, sadly, we cannot allow any byo wines.
Booking is advised, as our tables for two are limited, but at this price why not bring the
whole family, the boss, the staff, long lost friends, blind dates, old dates, new dates, in
fact anyone you want to impress...just make sure that they love rosemary and fillet! For
the craft beer lovers out there some more good news! We have added three new beers
to our craft beer offering – Jack Black Pale Ale, Jack Black Pilsner and Devils Peak (not
sure which one as it‟s still too early to taste today, but their Kings Block house looks
interesting). With so much lager around we thought the Pale Ale would be interesting -
certainly it seems to be popular as we've just finished our first keg! With 15 beers now
on tap, I think we're done...oh yes I nearly forgot, we've also got a weiss beer on the
way!. Do let us know what you think as with all these beers I'm sure we'll have to refine
our offering in the months ahead!

The Vineyard Hotel and Spa is heralding the arrival of the colder months with a
sensational series of themed menus at its in-house restaurant, The Square. Matt
Deitchman, Food and Beverage Manager of the Vineyard Hotel & Spa, has built on the
success of previous years to create an alluring mix of local and internationally-themed
dinners that will appeal to any lover of fine food. “We‟ve taken into account all the
feedback from previous year‟s menus and incorporated it into this year‟s calendar, with
a few exciting additions and surprises. Themed dishes will be introduced monthly to the
a la carte menu, and guests can choose according to their preference. Daily specials will
also be added to the menu, offering more variety to our regular diners.”
The Tastes of 2012 menu kicked off in April with the Wine Partners‟ Favourites.
Deitchman explains: “To celebrate the launch of our 2012 wine pairing events calendar,
we asked our five wine partners – Waterford, Meerlust, Simonsig, Warwick and Klein
Constantia – to give us their favourite dishes. Christopher Law, our newly recruited and
experienced Sous Chef who has spent the past two years at the esteemed Delaire Graff
Restaurant, then selected one dish from each farm, which was paired with a specific
wine from that estate. During the month of May, we‟ll welcome winter with a selection
of hearty slow-cooked dishes - perfect comfort food. Typical dishes will include braised
short rib of beef and crackling crusted slow-cooked pork belly.” This year is both the
Queen‟s Diamond Jubilee as well as the 2012 London Olympic Games. “We‟re
celebrating these two momentous occasions in June with a traditional „Rule Britannia‟
menu. In July, we‟re showcasing Classic French dishes to coincide with Bastille Day,
while we have a surprise planned for August and September.”
August is traditionally trainee month at The Vineyard Hotel, so Deitchman and his team
have come up with a novel way of testing the skills of the trainee chefs. “We are going
to task our trainees with developing their own culinary treats, and our senior chefs will
then choose the best of these dishes to go onto the menu. It‟s almost a kind of Vineyard-
style mini cook-off!” The final themed menu has a unique twist. “September is all about
our guests. They will be invited to submit their favourite dishes, and our chefs will
select the best of these to go onto the menu for the September gourmet dinners. Guests
who submit dishes that are chosen by our chefs will also win a prize.” The recipes for
each of the themed menus will be posted to the Vineyard website and Facebook page to
give guests a chance to try to create the dishes at home. “We also encourage guests to
send us their feedback and pictures of the final result, which we‟ll post to our online
platforms,” explains Deitchman. “It‟s no secret that winter months are slow months in
the hospitality industry. As such, many restaurants offer „winter warmer‟ specials, and
do so with great success. But it‟s necessary to be a step ahead of the competition, so
we‟ve tried to be a little more creative and innovative with Tastes of 2012.”
