We attended a function recently at Summer Place - we had been there before.
It was a themed evening and the decor was really good. Tables laid to perfection.
The organisation is subtle - speeches are made to allow the chefs to cope. The starter was cassava gnocchi with fish and a Mozambique sauce - coconut and piri piri! Just up our street.
A choice of 3 main courses lamb (I don't like lamb!), fish with Senegalese rice and vegetables and a Congolese vegetarian meal which was spicy. My wife and I shared.
There was a wide array on a dessert buffet with cheese stacked like a wedding cake!
Our waiter Brian deserves a special mention for excellent service.
All rounded off with a disco

Beautiful venue with lots of space to do things. Staff was helpful & friendly. Just didn't have anough shade for everybody and the kids food was just the same as adult, but cut in smaller pieces. Still had a lot of fun.

I had the pleasure of being here for the CIO Council. Besides for its lovely tranquility in the heart of Sandton, the facilities are excellent.
I personally loved the variety of delicious food. Beautifully prepared and presented while being so inventive!
A great venue, excellent service and a pleasure to attend.

Excellent venue, excellent reception outside around the water fountain.
Food on the grass under tent was great.
Toilets a bit of a pain with boys standing in a queue.
Only negative is that everyone was sitting on the same level with only one screen in the front.
One couldn't see the slide shows clear.
Thanks for the day.

We held a million rand conference for a special haircare launch at this place. The service from start to finish was amazing. On the day the food was awesome. The few errors were partially our own fault and will be fixed ahead of the next event. Special thanks to Rosemary as well as our in house chef. Love what you did and how you treated the project with such interest and pride. Thank you .
