The bar:
It is an honesty bar. We are all familiar with how that works. Anything used needs to be recorded on an honesty sheet and must be paid for before departure by either cash or card. The bar has a fair variety of drinks and cover the basics like rum, whiskey, gin, beer, brandy etc. There might even be wine, but if you have a favourite, bring it along
You may bring your own booze, but please support the venue as much as you can. Topbox drinkers bring their own drinking vessel and do not use the bar's glasses
Ice will be available free for paying customers at he honesty bar, but must be bought if you are a topbox / campsite drinker.
Food:
We sadly had a few gatecrashers in the past, so food slips will be prepared and handed out at arrival for the Friday and Saturday evening meals. No slip = no plate and cutlery, no food and come have a talk to me Heimer about bash fees.
Evenings meals will be a communal braai Friday and evening / Potjiekos with extras Saturday evening. This is included in the bash fee.
Other food:
Saturday morning, afternoon or Sunday morning food - the Dirt Road Cafe is approx 8km from Ons Karoo Plaas. They will be pre-warned of a large group visiting so they can try be prepared as it’s a small place. Those who know for certain they will want to go for breakfast, brunch of lunch will be best advised to book. Tel: 066 270 2291
Else bring your own stuff, have leftover braai meat or have a ride-out to e.g. Seweweeksooort and Ladismith for brunch or have a road side braai.
Extra braai wood will be available at R30 per crate and each caravan campsite has a braai drum, but try to kuier & braai at the communal area as it is more sociable.
