Richmond Hill Brewing Company (RHBC) is a landmark brewery and taproom in Gqeberha know for it’s great vibe and renowned country wide for its numerous award-winning beers.
A few years back RHBC launched their Food Shed to satisfy the rumbling tummies of their patrons who enjoyed spending more than just a few hours between meals sipping on the tasty brews.
It’s to be noted that RHBC doesn’t do anything below a level of absolute excellence, and few were surprised that their new burgers turned out to be delicious. Over time the menu expanded and recently a wood fired pizza oven was added.
A Landmark Eatery
I have been a long-time fan of RHBC’s brews but more recently I have found myself visiting RHBC with the primary reason of having a tasty meal. No longer are the beers the sole attraction, for many it is now the exceptional burgers and pizzas.
The RHBC menu emphasizes pizza and burgers, catering to diverse tastes with beef, chicken, and vegan options. The pizzas are crafted in a traditional wood-fired oven in the light and airy Neapolitan style that are hard to resist. As with everything else at RHBC, ingredients are selected for quality and a great taste experience.
For burger enthusiasts there are some mouthwatering options such as the Blueberry and Camembert or the Korean Fried Chicken as well as the possibility to enhance your traditional plain burger with 15 different add-ons ranging from crispy bacon to extra slaw, and the unique RHBC Car Park John BBQ sauce.
Burgers may be ordered on their own or with freshly cut waffle fries. The fries may be ordered by the plate too and there is the option to add a very tasty jalapeño and cheese topping.
Stepping into RHBC, one immediately senses the informal and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant’s charm lies in its rustic décor and meals that are served in enameled tin plates.
Beyond the pizzas and burgers, the menu features a gourmet boerie roll, chicken bites, and succulent chicken wings, ensuring there is something for everyone. And for those with a sweet tooth, the dessert offerings are simply irresistible. The Cheesecake Jar, with its layers of Oreo crumble and blueberry compote or salted caramel, is a must-try. Additionally, the range of superb beer ice creams provides a unique and delightful end to the meal.
Beers (and wine) to compliment your meal
One of the standout features of RHBC is its extensive range of beers. Some, such as Two Rand Man and Car Park John, are permanently on the menu but it is the seasonal beers that make this pub special and worth a regular and frequent visit.
The only thing that pairs better than burgers and beer is perhaps pizza and beer and, if you are not a beer fan, then RHBC has their Wine Shed that has, arguably, one of the best selection of wines in the city.
The service at RHBC is consistently friendly and efficient, contributing to the overall enjoyable experience. The atmosphere in both the taproom and the adjacent Chicky’s Yard is lively and inviting, making it an ideal spot for gatherings with friends and family.
Richmond Hill Brewing Company is no longer just a place to taste excellent beer it is now a dining experience par excellence that combines award-winning beers with an exceptional menu, all served in a welcoming and vibrant setting. See you there soon.
