Had a wonderful supper. The baaibox was so tasty and a huge portion. My husband loved it. I loved the beef sosatie. Also a large potion. The salad too was delicious. We shared a dessert which was delicious too. Such a treat! As a South African, resident in Chester it was truly great to have a taste of South Africa, The friendly staff and atmosphere were also so welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Lovely new venue, great barii (bbq) Offers some good events such as brunch party and more. Outside seating, if u wanna feel of South Africa, the decor n music here doesn't disappoint.

Had a Father's Day Sunday lunch here today. The "vibe" is enough to make any Saffer homesick. Great food, background music, friendly and helpful staff and the braai going outside. 20/10 in all departments. Kingdom has knocked it out the park again with this venue! Will be back.

Friendly staff, always on hand, service was great even though it was busy. The guy front of house was great too. Great menu and choice. The food was cooked to perfection, lovely flavours and good portions. Reasonably priced too despite it being in Chester. We will definitely be back. Braii box and Saffa burger were gorgeous!!

Who knew that baked beans in a salad would work. The food was absolutely delicious. We were a table of two sharing braai box. The service was excellent. I’ve never tasted chicken cooked on a bbq like that before. The smell of the bbq as you walk in is heavenly.

Staff were really friendly and welcoming and provided a very personalised approach. Staff were really passionate about the food they produced and were confident about why their food is different and would keep us coming back. Portions were really good, we left totally stuffed and it was all reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back, hopefully for the music evening. Thanks guys for a great evening and the complimentary birthday shots
