This is a family restaurant so young and old are welcome. The children will get some dough and sweets on arrival, which they can then bake in the pizza oven. This is however not a Wimpy or Spur styled restaurant and the enjoyment of other patrons should be kept in consideration.
TRADING HOURS:
Mon to Sat: 12pm - 9pm
Sunday: 12pm - 7pm

City/town information
Barrydale is a village located on the border of the Overberg and Klein Karoo regions of the Western Cape Province in South Africa.
There are well over a dozen Barrydale restaurants and coffee shops – a huge number for such a small village.
We reccomend Diesel & Crème is a Vintage Diner & Motel (The Karoo Moon Motel), situated on the scenic Route 62 in Barrydale - it's amazing!
From the outside Barrydale’s Karoo Art Hotel looks a little faded, but step inside and the quirkiness of bright walls from lime green to oxblood red, the idiosyncratic collection of paintings and objects d’art start to work their magic.
If you enjoy browsing and buying arts and crafts, you’ll love mooching around Barrydale. Visit Barrydale Hand Weavers on the Ladismith side of town – a skills and job creation project – to marvel at the hand-woven rugs, tableware and fabrics and maybe even watch the looms in action. Next door is MUD Gallery where you’ll find a super space built of local materials, with a collection of paintings, sculpture and ceramics inside. Relax in the garden and enjoy something to eat. Hardy’s Memories has a selection of art and crafts from all over Africa.
