Our flagship restaurant named after founder of The Ranch, Mr Basil Shearer – Basil’s fine dining restaurant is the best way to describe The Ranch family business since it was founded in 1960 and continues to be run with the same passion and commitment that Paul and father Tom Shearer continue to strive for uncompromising standards and service culture.

Today Basil’s is headed up by Head Chef Daniel Gee and highly qualified chefs that learnt their trade though learning from other chefs at The Ranch over the years and their commitment to offering an extra ordinary dining experience in Basil’s.

The Basil’s team is well known for hosting special food and wine pairing’s that is accompanied by the wine maker. There is no other restaurant in the north that is more eagerly anticipated than a dining evening in Basil’s.

    Unfortunately they were out of stock of the Buffalo wings for starters, but we were only told 15min after we placed the order. They were also out of stock of the lamb for main course and we were also only told 15min after we placed the order for the lamb. Then the passion fruit was off. Some of the Steaks were also overdone.

    Our journeys from Gauteng to Polokwane for a meal and a brief stay are consistently motivated by the exceptional hospitality and service that one can only describe as five-star quality. Keep up the exceptional standards and you can be assured of our support.
