Easter in St Francis
Open your Eyses – Sterilize event
St Francis really busied up towards the end of last week starting with a very successful and interesting Open your Eyes – Sterilize function at Dune Ridge Country House on Thursday morning . This was followed on Thursday evening with an excellent Beer / Wine – Food Pairing at St Francis Brewing Company where once again Chef Dan Hoffmann showed his pedigree as one of the most creative and talented chef’s in the region.
Friday saw the opening of the new Rock Lily
in Cape St Francis where the opening celebration stretched on through the weekend supported by a huge crowd on Friday night with revellers rocking the night away through to the early hours of Saturday morning. Saturday night had Wendy Oldfield back visiting Cape St Francis entertaining the crowd. Also on Friday night whilst revellers were “wetting the baby’s head” at Rock Lily, Dune Ridge Country House was holding their own fully booked, food – wine pairing that had proved so popular that Sarah Swanepoel of Dune Ridge arranged a repeat pairing function for the Saturday night where diners again enjoyed what is has become a well-supported event on the Dune Ridge dining calendar.
