This is a passionate place, and any meal at Hartford House reflects our obsession. There is little value in living in one of the world’s most bounteous environs without taking advantage of all that it offers. We have yet to taste lovelier chicken than Stonehavens; the beef, lamb and game ranks with the best anywhere; you’ll spend an age finding finer cheese; our vegetables and herbs are superb, we have renowned producers of pork and parma ham. For eight consecutive years, we’ve had “Platinum” emblazoned on our wine list. Local is lekker. Absolutely.

Dinner is a spectacular five course affair, served in candlelit splendour, either in our historic dining room or on our rambling colonial veranda. Saturdays are accompanied by the best traditional dance display in Africa. You have to see it to believe it.

Breakfasts are celebrations of the creative spirit, individual masterpieces inspired by the freshest local produce. Authenticity and originality are hallmarks of everything Hartford represents.

Lunch menus are purposely light and seasonal, providing a respite for the gap between breakfast and dinner. To satisfy non-resident visitors, the weekend menu includes additional options.

Dining is open to the public, but as we always need to respect the intimacy of our residents, booking is essential.

Sit back, relax and let us serve you.
