Our Story
Meet Steve – our fearless (and slightly wild) shop owner - who has spent most of his life in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
He’s funny, full of stories, and will definitely talk your ear off (you’ve been warned). Whether he's explaining the magic behind Droewors or re-enacting a childhood memory from Zim with dramatic flair, Steve brings the shop to life every single day.
He’s not just here to sell you things—he’s here to share a little piece of home (or something completely new) with every customer that walks in.
Meet Sally – the one who keeps Steve on the straight and narrow!
When she is not out baking lots of stores goodness, you will find her hustling the counter and till. She's there to correct Steve when he inevitably gets it wrong...
Come in, Get to Know Us
If you hear laughter echoing down the high street and smell the unmistakable scent of freshly sliced biltong, you’re probably near our door.
