This winter, celebrate a gracious bygone era, half a century ago. Inspired by dishes served in the First Class dining rooms of the Union-Castle Shipping Lines, as well as the cuisine from The Nellie’s much admired Executive Chef from 1964 – 1990, Hans Kuhnel, our modern day Chef Rudi Liebenberg has put together a fabulous old-fashioned menu that will warm and delight cold winter bones.
