ABERDEEN NEWS - The members of the Aberdeen Garden and Social Club held their first meeting of 2019 in the delightful restaurant at Karoo Moons guest house.
Speaker and host Nico Kemp, who is the local agent for Eazi-Delish baking products, explained about his plans for the restaurant, which he plans to lease from the owners of Karoo Moons.
During the Christmas holiday season, Nico and his partner Archie Norval ran a very successful pop-up ginger beer tea garden at Aberdeen Self Catering and impressed both locals and tourists with their food presentation and quality. Nico explained that they would offer the restaurant as an upmarket events venue, as well as presenting a fine dining event probably once a month.
He also spent some time explaining about their part in the new project to revive the town of Aberdeen, which was of great interest for those who had not attended any of those meetings. There was also some discussion on his plans for recycling in the town.
Guests were served with individually plated “high tea” snacks, which were beautifully presented and suitably filling. An optional extra requested by mny was Nico’s special home-made ginger beer, with some of the more adventurous members opting for a ginger beer float, which was pronounced delicious!
The next meeting, on 21 February, will be an outing to the farm Oudedrift, where Harold and Catherine Steven-Jennings will talk about the history of the farm, and their innovative composting rotation.
