Music Kitchen offers a great festive season gig line-up

Having recently undergone extensive alterations, the Music Kitchen is all set to host a fantastic line-up of some of South Africa’s best performing artists this holiday season.

Ian Mitchell, owner of Music Kitchen says, “Although we have a wide variety of musical styles appearing on our stage, the common factor is our strict criteria regarding the quality of the performances, and the quality of our sound”.

As one would expect of a venue such as this, the stage is the focal point and every care is taken to ensure that the musicians are able to perform at their best. Indeed, Ian has invested heavily in stage and sound quality, and it shows:

Not only are audiences having a good time, but S.A.’s top musicians are keen to play there.

This December, The Music Kitchen has outdone itself with a line-up of 27 shows.  Standout acts include Wonderboom, Koos Kombuis, Albert Frost, Arno Carstens, Radio Kalahari Orkes, and other greats.

Top local acts are also in the line-up; Wayne Kallis, The Brothers, and Kevin Abraham’s “Folkify!” ensemble, to name a few.

There are also party events aplenty, such as the Facemelt Festival and the New Year’s Bash Decades Party.

Many of these shows are expected to be sold out so it is essential to book well in advance for the shows you hope to attend. Unless you’re very lucky, you might be disappointed if you rock up at the door and expect to get a seat.

Music Kitchen, as their name implies, is also a restaurant.

The menu is uncomplicated, but tasty, hearty and great value for money. You can expect various burgers, ribs, snack baskets, nachos and salads, plus various house specials. The bar is well stocked and the wine list varied. 

Live performances

Over the years, many of us have watched The Music Kitchen evolve as we attended the many shows there. Today, The Music Kitchen is achieving the status of a local performance treasure; a place where you can enjoy a great show, and, choose from a variety of performances that vary from “sit down and Listen” to “get up and dance”’ and everything in between.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
