Food and drink at Kurland

• Hotel restaurant The intimate, darkly panelled dining room is very romantic. You’ll be served an excellent contemporary menu with South African wines amid countless twinkling candles.
• Dress code Relaxed as you like, although you’ll feel an urge to wear crisp linen and floaty chiffon (when you’re not in your jodhpurs, that is).
• Top table Sit beside the fire in the dining room. Otherwise, Kurland will set up a private dining table anywhere you like; the library is cosy, or dine alfresco on a balmy summer’s night.
• Last orders Around 10pm for dinner.
• Room service None. Breakfast is served on the terrace under a cascade of plants tumbling over wrought iron; there’s afternoon tea with homemade cakes on the verandah; and your minibar will take care of the rest.
