Vergelegen Wine Estate in Somerset West has turned the devastation of a kitchen fire into an unlikely opportunity, and the result is the spirited Firehorse temporary restaurant.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday 3 March, the Helderberg was shaken by news that the renowned Stables Restaurant’s kitchen had been gutted by fire, forcing its immediate closure for repairs (“Blaze at Stables<\/a>,”DistrictMail & Helderberg Gazette<\/em>, 11 March). All staff and guests were safely evacuated, with no injuries reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A month later, the Firehorse rose from the ashes, welcoming visitors back to the historic wine estate and preserving 73 seasonal positions linked to Stables (“New Firehorse restaurant opens at Vergelegen in Somerset West<\/a>,” 22 April).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday 5 June, Vergelegen opened its doors to the media, including DistrictMail & Helderberg Gazette, for an update. With the fire confined to the kitchen, the estate’s broader offering remains intact, including wines from the Heritage, Estate and Icon ranges that helped earn it the Best Wine Farm Experience title at the Kfm 94.5 Best of the Cape Awards last year. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We strive to create a memorable experience for every single guest, and the recognition was a testament to the dedication and passion of our entire team,” says Vergelegen CEO Wayne Coetzer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a wine tasting, Firehorse itself lived up to the drama of its name. Helmed by chef Michelle Barry, the restaurant is open daily from 08:30 to 17:00 (kitchen closes at 15:30), with dinner service on Thursday to Saturday from 18:00.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Whether guests want an easy weeknight dinner, a relaxed family lunch, or a cosy catch-up with friends, Firehorse offers a welcoming atmosphere and hearty comfort food, backed by friendly and efficient service,” says Barry.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter specials include a breakfast croissant with coffee or tea for R95 (weekdays); two burgers for R225 on Thursdays; beer-battered hake for R195 on Fridays; a 300g sirloin steak for R225 on Saturdays; and a Sunday roast with a glass of Heritage Range wine for R295.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creamery offers estate-made ice cream, coffee and traditional sweets, with cr\u00eapes and hot chocolate added to the menu from June. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The estate is also home to a 1900-hectare private nature reserve, with guided safari tours, hiking trails and abundant wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uf03cFirehorse is expected to remain open until the end of October, while the refurbishment of the Stables Restaurant kitchen is under way. For more information, visit<\/strong> www.vergelegen.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
