TAPHUIS

The succession of ownership through the eras has layered the Estate’s rich history, and present day Lanzerac honours the rich and vast legacy by telling the stories of its past. Created during the Rawdon era, the Taphuis Bar is a place where guests have created many memories. The treacle brown bar has been welcoming thirsty travellers since the 1960’s, and although damaged in the 2017 fire, it has undergone extensive repairs to retain its original feel, with some of the elements that were salvaged from the flames being reused alongside new additions. The Taphuis’ country-inspired décor is rich in texture with rough stone walls, brick floors and exposed wooden ceilings

The gourmet pub-style menu offers sharing plates and light meals in a relaxed environment overflowing with beautiful country charm. The menu boasts homegrown food sourced from local farmers and suppliers, prepared with creativity and originality by the resident team of chefs. Dining options are either indoors set against an impressive handcrafted bar and large roaring fireplace, or outdoors on the shady terrace complete with garden views.

Not open for breakfast

Open daily from 12pm.

For your safety and ours, Lanzerac is a cashless operation.

    This is my second time being there as a guest but every time you seem to surprise me with your service delivery, Thank you for making a pleasant and memorial moment for me and my guest. Highly recommend this place. Keep on doing a great job. People might not remember your name but they always remember how you made them feel .

    Taphuis is greatly understated when called a 'gastropub'. Situated in the Main house of Lanzerac estate it exudes history. Fantastic service from 'Pauline' and great food. Would highly recommend!
