\"\"<\/a>April is Royal\u00a0Wedding month, and the forthcoming marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton has inspired The Square Restaurant at the Vineyard Hotel & Spa\u00a0in Newlands to offer a ‘Best of British’ menu, changing every week,\u00a0in the run up to the wedding on 29 April.<\/p>\n

Currently\u00a0The Square serves Welsh Rarebit, Fish Pie and Spotted Dick.\u00a0 The menu changes on 11 April, and Slow Roasted Pork Belly, Braised Lamb Shank and Treacle Tart will be served.\u00a0\u00a0 From 18 – 24 April the ‘Best of British’ menu includes Bubble and Squeak, Beef Wellington and Poached Salmon Trout.\u00a0 From 25 – 30 April\u00a0The Square will serve Warm Scotch Eggs, Beer Battered Hake, and Steak, Kidney and Guinness Pudding.\u00a0\u00a0 The ‘Best of British’ costs R 140 for two courses and R 170 for three courses.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alex Jenkinson is the new sous chef at The Vineyard Hotel & Spa, and he is driving the new ‘Tastes of 2011′ theme at The Square.\u00a0 “Each month we will feature a different themed menu.\u00a0 We devised a British menu for each week in April, building up to the royal nuptials towards the end of the month. Being half British and half South African, I really enjoyed developing the four different menus and hope this comes across in our guests’ dining experience”.\u00a0 The Vineyard Hotel & Spa\u00a0GM Roy Davies added: “It’s no secret that winter months are slow months in the hospitality industry.\u00a0 As such, many restaurants offer ‘winter warmer’ specials, and do so with great success.\u00a0 But it’s necessary to be a step ahead of the competition, so we’ve tried to be a little more creative and relevant with ‘Tastes of 2011′”.<\/p>\n

The Vineyard Hotel\u00a0& Spa\u00a0is planning to run a series of themes in The Square restaurant in the next six months, including 19th century menus in August, South African menus in September, Feel Good Food menus in May, and Classical Food menus in July.<\/p>\n
