\"\"<\/a>The Sweet Service Award <\/strong>goes to Orphanage Cocktail Emporium<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, which has developed a reputation for bespoke bartending in Cape Town and is winning awards for its creative cocktails. The Award recognises its service to the community in its first year of operation. \u00a0Located in Orphan Street (corner Bree Str), it decided to donate R15 of the sales of each ‘More Tea Vicar’<\/em> cocktail since its inception, to acknowledge the special relationship they have with the St Paul’s Anglican Church across the road, which helped to establish the St Francis Children’s Home in 1919. The children’s home now operates from Athlone, accommodating 55 children. \u00a0At a first anniversary celebration two weeks ago, Orphanage donated R 41000 to the St Francis Children’s Home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Sour Service Award<\/strong> goes to Cassis Salon de Th\u00e9 in the Garden’s Centre, whose staff clean the restaurant floor around the customers who are still in the restaurant half an hour before its closing time. \u00a0They are so busy cleaning that they no longer attend to their customers. \u00a0The noisy moving of the tables and cleaning of the floor was done in full view of the manager, who expressed extreme apologies when he was called to the table. \u00a0A Tweet about the poor service remains unresponded to by Cassis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>WhaleTales Sweet & Sour Service Awards<\/strong> are presented every Friday on the WhaleTales blog.\u00a0 Nominations for the Sweet and Sour Service Awards can be sent to Chris von Ulmenstein at <\/span>info@whalecottage.com<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 Past winners of the Sweet and Sour Service Awards can be read on the Friday posts of this blog, and in the <\/span>WhaleTales <\/strong>newsletters on the <\/span>www.whalecottage.com<\/a> website.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
