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.

    Your staff are amazing! One friend was collapsing on his way out. They grabbed him before he fell & got him to a chair .Then a wheelchair helped him to the toilet & to his car & my driver took him home. Fantastic service 💖🙏

    I love this wonderful and beautiful place so much that only words cannot explain the feelings you already get when walking or driving in...especially in the evenig at sunset the whole atmosphere turns to something magic. The delicious food, the variety of drinks and of course the staff are amazing. It is an unforgettable moment you will not forget. The decoration and the memories of the 17th century are still there and while watching it turns to a big WOW...Lanzerac for me is not just a word. It is love.
