Eating ‘at home’ at Liz at Lancaster
One of the best things about staying at Liz at Lancaster is having access to a fully-equipped kitchenette in your unit. Often people don’t want to eat out every night and there is nothing nicer than staying “at home” (even though you aren’t “at home”) with a home-cooked meal and a glass of wine. In summer you can make the most of a Highveld evening in your private courtyard, and in winter snuggle up under a duvet (under-floor heating ensures comfort even on the coldest Jozi evening) and watch a movie. You can eat with proper cutlery and proper plates and we stock the kitchenette with basics like salt and pepper, oil (olive!) and vinegar (balsamic!).
Spoilt for choice with options
DELIVERY OPTIONS
Uber Eats is an App which allows access to a whole lot of takeways within a 5km radius. For international guests we suggest downloading the App before coming to South Africa as often Uber is a bit “iffy” about accepting a foreign credit card out of the home country. It’s also a good idea to download the Uber Transport App as well when in your home country.
Mr Delivery now has an App and a website but be warned, if they need to check or confirm an order, they will not make a call to an international number.
FRESHLY PREPARED MEALS COOKED DAILY
There are a couple of places nearby which have What’s App groups where they post daily specials. If you are a longer-stay guest, it’s an excellent idea to ask to join the group and get notifications daily of what they are making that day. You will need to collect though – or ask us to and we will do so for you with pleasure.
Dolci café
Dolci Cafe half a block from the Guesthouse offers items on their menu for takeaway including excellent pizzas andn yummy pastas and risottos. Check their menu Phone 010 900 2274 to order and collect.
