The Rumbullion at The Roundhouse

 I have always known about The Roundhouse but never made any active plans to visit them. A friend recently did and said she was very impressed as they have a great outside dining spot called The Rumbullion. As the weekend provided us with perfect weather again I decided to seize the day and enjoy a wine filled afternoon with friends.

In the secret garden..

Rumbullion is an English term that means 'a really good time'. The restaurant does live up to it's name. It's tucked away in the Campsbay forest, provides live music and a great atmosphere that will ensure you have 'a really good time.'

There are various areas you  can relax at. Enjoy a picnic in the secret garden, or sit at the picnic tables underneath big umbrellas and enjoy the beautifull view of the Atlantic ocean

Just look at that view!

You order all your drinks and food with a 'tick sheet'. They have a tapas, bread and cheese that you can use to compile your own picnic basket or order some pizzas, burgers(R95), fish&chips(R95) and other items that are already made for you.

Saturday is wine day!

Next to the tables are picnic baskets filled with all the cutlery and plates that you need.We shared some pizzas. They were delicious yet not worth R98 each. Next time I will rather go for some tapas. The Rumbullion is an ideal spot for some snacks and drinks.

They serve soft drinks, cocktails, craft beers, sparkling wine and wine. We enjoyed some refreshing white wine(R85) yet the jug of pimms almost won me over.



Unfortunately The Rumbillion is only open until the 30th April when their summer season ends. The official Roundhouse restaurant however is still open and serves a four course for R595.

So rush over to The Rumbullion these last two weeks before they close as it's the perfect spot to enjoy the great weather we are experiencing! Booking is essential! You won't be disappointed.

*** They are currently running a special where you can order two pizzas and two bottles of wine for R330 from 16:00 ***
