An overdue return visit to Mogg's reminded us what a glorious country style venue this is, so close yet so far from the ever increasing greater Hermanus urban sprawl, and also the development in the Hemel en Aarde Valley. Owner managed by the Mogg family, the food is delicious, the service friendly and efficient and somehow it is perfect for families, many with small children and other diners with no children. The added benefit now of an intelligent, well priced and comprehensive wine list (being independent thankfully, a range of labels are featured), with wines available by the glass and caraffe too. The unique pine cone ceiling, eclectic art (for sale, and we snapped up a colourful collage of pomegranets) are all still there, but they now also take credit cards, previously it was cash only. If this was in Britain or Europe it would be written up in 'Country Living' style magazines also foodie mags such as 'Olive', but thankfully loyal local support and savvy visitors here, keep it happily busy!
