This week sees the opening of the pop up shop within the Werf Restaurant. Here, visitors can pick up some of their deli favourites including fresh bread. Customers can also harvest their own veggies and seasonal produce at the shop.
Meal kits around the corner
Next week will see the addition of a selection of ready to cook meals and desserts from Executive Chef Allistair Lawrence. Guests are invited to pick up some estate favourites, while following strict social distancing procedures to keep staff and visitors safe.
Safeguarding livelihoods
Boschendal has also guaranteed every employee’s employment for the remainder of the year. While the property remains closed, Boschendal will pay a tips and commission subsidy to affected staff to ensure no member of staff is financially disadvantaged due to the Covid-19 crisis.
