Eisbein, Bratwurst and Beer! - In George / Garden Route


Schwabinger Stuben - Restaurant, Deli, Butcher Shop, Catering for all occasionsHungry for a typical German restaurant? Stop looking! Schwabinger Stuben has come to George! The restaurant is next to the Alpine Inn, a 3-star graded Hotel in Blanco that is part of the same business. The restaurant is for the people. "Schwabinger Stuben is a welcoming, hearty sort of place where people can feel at home and have a good time. The food is traditional German home cooking, the portions are very large and the prices extremely reasonable. The SPECIALITY dish is Eisbein and the Schwabinger Stuben has a large variety of rustic German dishes to choose from."
Schwabinger Stuben also has a beer garden with its own bar and pizza oven where they prepare pizza, spare ribs and bake German bread. The restaurant seats more than 150 people and is open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner from Monday to Saturday, as well Sunday for Breakfast & Lunch, Sunday eve closed.
Have a good time, and best of all: If you decide to have a drink or two, book a room and spend the night! Next to the restaurant is a Butcher shop & Deli the goods made by their own German Master butcher. They specialize in German sausages, cold meats, Alpine Ham, Sauerkraut, mustards and many more good German products to choose from.
All forms of outside catering is available, while the German Master butcher/chef can be booked to train kitchen staff in hygiene, food handling, buffets and catering. There was a time when outside catering was a braai in the back garden or a Sunday picnic. Today the scene has changed completely. So much so that many events are conducted outside. They could be corporate events, a garden wedding reception, or even a family fun day. The Schwabinger Stuben can prepare a full 5 course meal or keep it as simple as a spit braai. The choice is yours. This is of course determined by the catering event. Alpine Inn Catering will deliver you unrivalled personal service together with stunning, mouth-watering food.The Schwabinger Stuben Alpine Inn is exactly what the Southern Cape needs. Fantastic German food at reasonable prices where friends can gather.

Harley Davidson Tour Group Visits Storms River Guest Lodge.

The Storms River Guest Lodge is situated in the Storms River Village, which nestles in the beautiful Tsitsikamma Forest and is surrounded by the Tsistikamma Mountains. Here owner Nora Nel, her right hand, the friendly Martitia, and other staff members offers guests accommodation in spacious, upmarket and comfortable, en-suite rooms, all with private entrances.

Recently a Harley Davidson Tour Group visited the Storms River Guest Lodge and spent the night at this lovely accommodation establishment in the Storms River Village….

"You can hear them from a mile away and anybody can recognise the sound…a Harley Davidson.

On 21 September we, Storms River Guest Lodge, had the privilege of accommodating RKTC Tours – a tour group on the back of a Harley Davidson. While some went for the Tree Top Canopy Tours, others enjoyed watching the cricket (including Graham Smith’s father – Graham Smith) in our communal television room.

The evening started with penalty drinks for whoever did something funny or wrong during the day (like forgetting to use indicators) And then the evening meal was served – a four course buffet in our Copper Kettle Restaurant.

After a full English Breakfast the next morning, it was time to leave. The roaring farewell, as everyone left together and the hosts waving good bye – the Harleys away until next time."
