Take a Trip of Nostalgia to V8 Roadhouse

V8 Roadhouse

The V8 Roadhouse is about recreating the glory days of the golden age of automobiles in the 50’s and 60’s, and the introduction of the V8 Engine: the time of fast cars and fast food.

The atmosphere at V8 Roadhouse is energetic with a fired-up vibe. They are about people and nostalgia, about performance and about doing things right.

Their aim is to keep things current and dynamic, and to serve the best quality food at affordable prices.  

Their ingredients are local and unprocessed.  The grills are open flame and they boast their own in-house baker and butcher.

The Roadhouse is open for breakfast from 9am, and boasts a spacious children’s play area which is within view of the tables, but far enough away so as not to disturb other diners.

Their Shack Party Venue is a great place to hold a children’s party, and packages include party packs.

The Menu at V8 Roadhouse

The menu is extensive and includes quality fasts foods like wings, chuck and pap, steaks, ribs, pizza, seafood, and platters.

On the sweet side there is a Bar One and toasted marshmallow pizza, decadent waffles and malva pudding.

If milk shakes are your thing, you will be in milk shake heaven.  Apart from the usual classic flavours, there are Turbo shakes, V8 decadent shakes, Gourmet shakes, and PG shakes made with Amarula, Kahlua or Dom Pedro.

Ignition Lounge

This elegant space is located above the roadhouse and boasts magnificent views of the dam and the Magaliesberg Mountains.

This is a perfect place for a quiet dinner for two, a dinner party for twenty, a corporate function or a wedding.  The Ignition Lounge caters for all events.

The full bar boasts a grand selection of cocktails and whisky.

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!
