Possibly worst experience I have had in PE. Had such high hopes and expectations in anticipation of dining at the new coachman but sadly left extremely dissapointed and will never return.
No service to speak off, had to take turns in finding our waitress on several occasions, service worsened when we complained and even owner was not sympathetic – was informed that 99% of his customers are happy and therefore was really not too concerned about the 1% that complain.
Left the restaurant too sarcastic goodbyes and giggles from the line of waitresses that had formed. The good news is that PE has many other restaurants that offer excellent service and value for money.

Disgraceful!!! Beautiful position for a restaurant, nicely decorated but that is where nice stops and horrid begins. We sent our daughter in to ask if there were openings – she was told no. Minutes later my wife was told yes. 20 minutes of waiting for a waitress. 2 menus for 5 of us. No greeting from the waitress, just a “Are you ready to order.” 2 orders messed up – but we were expected to pay for them.
Fish knives for a normal meal. Another 45 minutes for our food to arrive. And we never saw a waitress again – Not even for the bill! A tomato sauce bottle that looked like it had been picked up off the beach below – clean but even the label could not be read it was so tatted. The bottle cap was missing – obviously had been reused dozens of times. It was not just the waitress!!!! On complaining to the owner we were told it was because they were busy (the place was about 75% full.) Isn’t that what you want: a full restaurant? But when you get it you use it as an excuse?
The portion for a R45 breakfast: I’ve had double for less than that at the Mugg & Bean (not known for being cheap!) A side salad that consisted of 3 cocktail tomatoes and 2 tiny slices of cucumber and a scattering of lettuce – more like garnish than salad! All round: I’ll NEVER go back and I STRONGLY discourage anyone from going. Its easily the worst experience I’ve had at a restaurant! This place should be a gold mine – instead it’s a mine dump!

My 4th visit to the coachman, an upmarket restaurant in Humewood, pe. The 4th time myself and guests walk out completely disappointed at the service and menu selection.
Menu selection is very limited for vegetarians. I mentioned this to the manageress and waitrons for the 4th time and their response was consistently nonchalant – with a warm smile and and unyielding attitude..this is what we have. Basically-take it or leave it-we dont need your suggestions, thank you.
Service- slow as hell. Took 60mins to get a veg platter, a side veg portion and a line fish. Request for a straw and serviettes took about 30mins until we eventually made a plan with patrons on the table around us.
Cost of the bill to date has never justified the experience. Very disapponting and will certainly never return nor recommend. Up our game guys, even non-vegetarians deserve higher quality veg than uncooked crumbed mushrooms, butternut and creamed spinach. Its not for me to find another restaurant. It”s about expanding your business model to meet customer needs.

A bunch of friends and myself went to Cubata last week Friday. When I arrived, the place was packed to capacity with a number of people waiting outside for tables. I managed to find my mates inside and we were moved to a larger table when it became vacant.
Cubata is simple and to the point, it reminded me more of a medieval feast or a german beer festival than the “convential” Restaurant. Seating is large wooden tables and benches in rows and the plates, plastic dishes. The Menu is simple, catering around Ribs and Praws and you have to bring your own alcoholic drinks as they are not licensed.
We ordered trays of food for our table and the ribs and prawns were shared amongst us. The food was really good, served with chips and toasted portugese rolls. I really enjoyed the concept of eating with your fingers, getting all messy and the unrefined experience of it all.
Cubata must be doing something right, as it is as popular as ever. Maybe the festive relaxed atmosphere combined with simplicity makes it so enjoyable?
Although we waited some time for our food, the owner did aplogise for the wait – due to them being extremely busy which is understandable.
It may not appeal to some, but if you have not been and want to give them a go, please do!

Deli On Main in Walmer has been closed for the last 2 months due to rennovation and a change in ownership.
They reopened recently and the refurbished Deli On Main looks stunning with new wooden floors, an area of booths, new lighting and overall a more comfortable feel.
Food and coffee is still of the same high standard as the previous Deli On Main and it definitely remains a favourite of ours in the Walmer area.
