The choice is yours. We offer seasonal and vegetarian picnics, made with local, natural and organic produce wherever possible.

Our Farmer
Farmer Angus
"I ditched a London-based career in finance to return to South Africa where I grew up. I began farming at Spier in 2008. Inspired by biodynamic principles, I believe in farming as naturally and holistically as possible. Our happy cattle, pigs and hens are all free-roaming in pastures. The meat and eggs are used in the restaurants across the farm."
Chef
Chef Hennie
Chef Hennie is not a fan of fancy, fussy cooking. “For me, the secret to a great meal is honest, authentic and unpretentious food made with the best quality ingredients.”
Chef
PJ Vadas
At 16, when PJ decided this would be his career, he knew two things: he wanted to work for Gordon Ramsay and wanted to someday own his own restaurant.
