2010 brings the much anticipated arrival of Garlington’s new restaurant. Overlooking Crowe square and the evergreen pastures of our estate in the country, “Nicolson’s” will be the ideal meeting place of homeowners & residents alike.

Husband & wife team, Jonty & Tanya Nicolson, have made a move from the heat of Zululand up to Hilton, one of their favourite spots in Kwazulu. We can look forward to their bringing with them, the style they have become so well known for in Zululand- that of the “country cuisine”.

Jonty, as head chef, is no stranger to the Midlands, as his most valuable initial years in the chefing trade were spent as sous chef to the well-renowned Richard Poynton of “Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse” fame. It was there that Jonty learned his most invaluable lessons which geared him up for starting his own gourmet restaurant on the family macadamia nut farm in Zululand to working with Michelin-starred Chefs in Switzerland.

Now, really excited to dive into this new adventure, he joins us back in the Midlands, here at Garlington, and the next chapter begins with “Nicolson’s”.

Wanting to create a sense of community dining within the estate, Jonty & Tanya invite all homeowners, residents, families & friends thereof to feel completely at home in their new restaurant.

At “Nicolson’s” the focus will always be placed on fresh, seasonal ingredients coupled with Jonty’s homemade reduction sauces, soups & stocks. Great emphasis is placed on making everything from scratch at “Nicolson’s” & where possible employing homegrown goodies too…Flavour is the most important thing to this foodie couple & they look forward to enticing your taste buds with their culinary fare!
