Phoenix Hotel Defends their Good Name
While we support the publics' right to be informed, and the Weekend Post's right to name and shame, as one of the establishments, who to our horror made your publications top ten list of worst restaurant offenders, we strongly dispute the claims made against us and request the opportunity to set the record straight.

Coming hot on the heels of Christmas and always during the time of 'Slaapstad se Mense se Kuier Tyd', the Longhair and I are ready for a bit of quiet time on our anniversary so we normally slip off to the scene of the initial crime - the Algoa … [Read more...] about Pescadiya Review
