Steering the new venture are chefs Craig Cormack and Beau du Toit together with new member of the team Mechell Spann\u00a0\u2013 some may know them from The Goose Roasters of Stellenbosch, with Cormack having also been very involved in preparing good food at Ellerman House, Cape Grace and the Overture restaurant of Hidden Valley Wines on the Helderberg.<\/p>\n
