The Wild Goose Cafe

A beautiful oasis in the middle of the urban sprawl. The restaurant is located at the corner of Blanford manor, surrounded by beautiful gardens and a stream bubbling by. Places like this need to be actively encouraged by people, so the city still has some green lungs. Food was plain but good, and very reasonably priced. You can have a large cappuccino for R 25 and breakfasts start for less than R 50 !!! You can come with a book, get a picnic basket and relax on the green lawns, or play with the children. Definitely recommended

All day breakfast lovers this is your place! love their classic English breakfast, cappuccino's and their wide variety menu. Love that it's outdoors, serene place where you can enjoy a lovely meal with the sun baking you on a winters day. Their service is excellent, fast and with a smile. Lovely place for a chill morning having a meal in peace with nature around you and no screaming kids. Love this place.

True to their word...it is a very tranquil atmosphere. Had a lovely walk about. A must visit. Absolute gem in natureFood: 5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch outing. A beautiful sunny morning on the lawns with geese roaming about and birds chirping in the willows. Service was excellent and the food very good. I enjoyed my breakfast with the eggs cooked exactly as ordered. My done ordered a chicken cordon bleu, not really a brunch item, but the lichen named to prepare an excellent one. My daughter ordered the open trust beef sandwich which was excellent. And finally my wife enjoyed the smoked salmon with vegetables which we both enjoyed. All in all a great morning.

Food is good, And the service was great, But the Atmosphere is excellent. Took my wife on her Birthday and we really enjoyed. Kid-friendliness: No kids allowed. Parking: Parking is available and we'll laid out.

Beautiful gardens, excellent food, a hidden gem! It's my new favourite place. Bring a book and stroll the peaceful and tranquil gardens. Tables are very well spaced apart in the big gardens and all tables have a great spot in the shade. Highly recommended.

Very nice place to spend a morning with friends,or work colleagues overbreakfast. Especially when the weather allows. Unfortunately children under a certain age are not allowed. Not sure but I believe it is 15years old. Always found the staff pleasant and helpful.Food: 4/5

The Wild Goose is located in a wondrously green and lush setting. It is totally immersive and filled with an abundance of bird life. The surrounds of Blandford Manor have a real “wow” factor. However, this is where the positives end. The service is DREADFULLY slow. It took over an hour for our food come the venue was not busy at all and we didn’t order anything that warranted the wait. We ordered a salad, a vegetable stir fry and a toasted cheese. The toasted cheese was the star of the show. The stir fry was soggy and drenched in an overly-sweet sauce. The lid and opening of the tomato sauce bottle was disgustingly dirty. I specifically asked for one of the dishes without bacon and lo and behold I got the dish with bacon. This place is probably lovely for an afternoon tea or a picnic but it will result in a disgraceful lunch experience. The name ‘Bland’ford Manor is rather apt.

Visited for the first time on mother's day. I was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem so close to home. Beautiful location, got to see some ducks with their ducklings. Food/service was good.

Not the greatest but still good. Understandably I went on a day that they were understaffed the lady kindly informed us when we arrived my food arrived at my table cold and it took almost 30-40 minutes for us to get the bill. At the same time there was a waitress that took things from our table and when we asked for it back , she never brought it. Food was still decently made. Would just prefer it to have been more freshly cooked and warm.
