Summary: A cozy homage to South African cuisine with a local twist.
Nestled in the heart of the local community, the Orange Bird stands out with its unique South African-inspired menu. A tribute to the nostalgic flavors of Chef Matt Duggan-Jones' childhood, this venue charms with its relaxed, one-room dining concept and a semi-open kitchen that fills the space with the enticing aroma of charcoal-grilled dishes. The menu features a tangy, fermented potato flatbread with a perfect char, alongside white-bean houmous with onion caramel and nigella seeds. For heartier appetites, there's whole braai mackerel with pickled rhubarb or a mixed grill of boerewors, smoked pork belly, and chicken wings, plus thoughtful vegetarian options. The 'chops chutney' is a local favorite, pairing a Barnsley chop in a spiced tomato sauce with curried rice. Desserts like the OB Peppermint Crisp tart offer a playful end to the meal. The wine list is as interesting as it is approachable, featuring South African selections that complement the menu's offerings.
