Great ambiance for a relaxed pub lunch or dinner, service can be a little bit slow when they’re busy, but I’ve been a bunch of times and the staff are always friendly and work hard. Most of the food is great, the nachos are average though.
Really yummy food and super nice place to go for a couple of drinks with friends after a long day! Highly recommend. Not too expensive either!
We always go to the Hollow Tree for a nice breer and their awesome pub lunch chicken strips, which is ao cheap! Love the vibe and also a relaxed atmosphere
It's a fairly priced restaurant that serves traditional meet dishes with typical mashed potatoes and veggies. The position makes it perfect for a stop on the way to do shopping in the area. Parking is easy and free. What I like is the feeling of home made food. Eating there feels like grandma is in the kitchen.
Great spot for catching up with friends over a few drinks. Their chicken strips and cheese sauce are divine! I've been there during the day and during the evening and both times there was a great vibe.
Wonderful birthday evening, yummy food, nice wine and the kids loved the play area. Service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff making in a stress free pleasure.
Love this place :) Staff are chilled and friendly :) The menu is simple yet extremely tasty :) I like their tapas selection! Great ambience in the evenings especially :D
Home style cooking, nice outside area and reasonably priced. I had the nachos here and the were tasty and the beers were cold. That is all I want in the end of the day. Give it a go, the burgers looked great.
I had no idea this place was here. Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon for a couple of cold froffies (that's Beer is Oz speak) and a spot of lunch. Built out of an old house The Hollow Tree gives out a great pub vibe where you can bring the kids and the parents can enjoy a day out as well.
For the food my old mate had chicken strips and I opted for the Pork Belly roll. Both for R60 a plate is fantastic value. Both plates hit the spot and were tasty. No complaints for great pub food.
Service is good. As we were around the side of the building we were not in the general eye of wait staff but they were always checking up on us and providing more cold froffies.
Place is popular with locals and I can see why. Good spot during the day or the night.
Parking is a bit rustic but that's not a negative in my books.
A place in the north with a pub quiz, yeah!
I was so happy to find out that I don't have to travel to the CBD to get my quiz on, so I immediately organised a night out with my fellow pub quiz fans.
We had a good time; Hollow Tree is a nice open space, with many different seating options, depending on the atmosphere you’re after. It can be a family restaurant or a pub, which is great.
I didn’t eat anything, but they had great beer specials on, which was more than enough to keep me happy. They unfortunately didn’t stock all the craft beer on their menu, but they had some of the main, more well-known ones available.
My friends ordered the chicken strips and chips, as well as one of the Haute Dogs (nice pun by the way). And it was very reasonably priced and apparently delicious.
The quiz turned out to be way out of our league, but we had a good time! It’s the ideal place to meet up with friends for a fun time and pub grub.
Perfect vibe and place for the men to watch their rugby, have a good meal and some beer!! Generous portions of food, always yummy!
The Hollow Tree is the perfect place for any occasion. Whether you want to watch the rugby, have a beer with your mates, take your parents out to lunch or celebrate gran's 80th. Good set-up, awesome food and great value for money. Service is also good. Their R50 lunch special is excellent value for money!! Will definitely go there again!
Lovely Pub. Very busy on a Friday night with live music. Had a Eisbein that was to die for. Very generous portions. Really enjoyed this place and will definitely be back
Amazing food and friendly service from the staff members from Hollow Tree on Oak Road.
We ordered a platter with a wide variety of options. Good value for money.
Will definitely pay Hollow Tree a visit again.
Great food, the venison pie with mash was good, but complemented with their mild peri-peri sauce became excellent. The service was quick and friendly, a good spot to sit outdoor under the shade and have lunch.

I have probably driven past this place a thousand times but only decided to go today for the first time. It has a bit of a pubby vibe but I quite like it. Sat at a table outside on a nice warm evening.
I ordered a soft drink and the wife had a cocktail. Looking at the menu the food is very reasonably priced. Whilst not gourmet it has all of our favourites and large selection of starters.
We ordered starter wings (to share), wife had the smoked salmon and mushroom pasta and I ordered the venison shank. Unfortunately after a bit of a wait the manager came to inform us that the shank wasn't cooking soft and he wasn't happy to serve it. I was disappointed but happy that he was upholding standards. So due to time constraints I ended up eating just the starter wings and stole some of wife's pasta.
The wings were honestly some of the best I have ever had, and they are served with chips. The pasta was really delicious as well and a bargain at 65 rand. The table next to us ordered an eisbein which looked really good and is only 100 rand on the menu.
I have a feeling this place will become a regular spot for us as they are reasonably priced, family friendly and food so far is good.
There was a band as well and the place was quite full. Service could do with slight improvement.
Food was great, but the service a little slow. I think their bar gets overrun a little. That said, the atmosphere is great. You can't get outside seating under the HUGE Oak tree outside after 15:00 on a Friday.

The place is amazing. Service is fair
But food was amazing. Nice day for family outing or even a Friday afternoon with friends. And great value for money. I will be back soon.
We tried the Babotie and Ox Tail preparations here, which are very 'Afrikaans'! We tried them for the first time so won't be as good a judge as an Afrikaans local but we loved our dishes. The service was good too.
It's on the main road with enough parking space. Didn't think too much of the ambience.
We came for the R55 ribs special which was well worth it. Service was good, food arrived quickly and the ribs were more than enough. We were seated at a lovely table close to the fireplace which was very welcome since it was a cold day. Definitely worth another visit.
Simple, easy fuss free food both affordable and tasty. Great atmosphere for a quick bite or an evening of kuiering. Big plus that they're also kid friendly.
Simple food done right, we come here for burgers and breakfast. Service is good and food delicious. Be sure to buy some of their sweet chilli mayo and Portuguese sauce for home, it's great on everything.
We had great service, the atmosphere was very nice and the burgers weren't bad. Also the drinks was not to expensive!
We have been here a few times now but it was for drinks only.
With the warm weather we enjoyed this week, we decided to dine outside. The fairy lights is beautiful in the evening but outside it is still a pub feeling.
The service is slow - so when you want to visit you need to have time to just chill and chat with friends.
The food is great quality for the price - they are reasonable for the portion you get. I ordered the seared steak salad - I was weary at first because didn't know how their salads are. Yes, as always too much lettuce with limited cucumber and tomatoes, but the meat portion was big - probably about 100g. Hubby enjoyed the chicken snitchzel - which for R75 was a big portion - 2 chicken breasts with chips.
The Dom Pedro's is very thick - we could eat it with the straw - just had to wait for it to melt a bit, but very yummy for R22.
We were there a few weekends ago and it was a really nice experience. There was quiz night on while we were there so it was quite busy at the time.
Firstly the waiter was either new or didn't know what was going on, because he was missing 60% of the time or we had to repeat our order several times.
When we did get our drinks and food was really really nice. I would recommend most things on the menu although I have not tested everything.
Parking is fine but not to organised.
These pizzas deserve a gooooood 10/10. Thin supeereeee crunchy crust that keeps it's shape when you pick it up so your toppings won't fall off. Amaaaaaazing bite sized toppings so that every bite has a bit of everything. The ribs was also super soft and tasty! Nachos also packed with flavour! Amazing place if looking for good chilled vibes and amazing food! Highly recommend!
A very enjoyable experience. First time to visit and enjoyed the experience. Excellent food choice and good food. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again.

The two of us went for breakfast, and the breakfast special was R54 per person, including filter coffee (please check the attached menu). The total cost for the entire breakfast with drinks was R108. I my book that was great for the experience.
(Prices were for year 2023, you future stalkers.)
The service was quick, the staff was friendly, and there was more than enough parking available.
Love the place, first visit was with my staff end of year party. Went back two weeks later for my birthday because I likes it so much. The staff is attentive even when the place is packed to capacity. Food is top tier. They've also got the excellent drinks specials. The outside seating area is awesome for sundowners on a summer evening. During my second visit they had loadshedding but this didn't affect their ability to take breakfast orders for food or coffees. I'll definitely be back.
Great old style pub atmosphere with a large outdoor area mostly undercover with a roaring fire as well. Far removed from the usual trendy chain restaurants in atmosphere. Food is great pub style food ... hearty, well prepared and substantial. I had bratwurst whi h was two sausages, sauerkraut, rosti potatoes and onions with a good dollop of German mustard. Highly recommended!
Delicious food. Good service. Great atmosphere.
This was our first visit and we enjoyed it. They have a good menu with affordable food options. They serve hughe portion sizes. It is very tasty and they offer a quick and friendly service. A bottle of wine from R100.
We had lunch and sat outside under the trees. Food and service were tops.
Went here with a couple of friends on a quiet rainy day. Inside was actually warm and cozy. Staff were really friendly and attentive. The food was amazing and the portions were great. We started off with a platter of wings, ribs and jalapeno poppers. Followed by Sirloin steak, chicken strips and calamari. Lastly a Guinness infused cheese cake with ice cream. While I didnt experience the bar and beer side of this place, I had a good experience.
The vibe is amazing, the waitrons are friendly , food is great. Becoming a regular and great for watching life, rugby or sports events . Been there 3 times in 1 week. So yes I recommend👌
Awesome food under lit up trees. Great service. Thank you!
Sunday lunch with my family. This place is such a gem. We enjoyed our food and the vibe. Kids could play in the cute play area with wooden jungle gyms, service was friendly and very professional. We had been told the lemon meringue was made in house, but after tasting it soon realized that was not the case, our waitress was awesome and went to check with the kitchen manager who then advised it was store bought and that they were going to start baking fresh desserts at the time. The transparency was really commendable and not even that little experience could have spoiled our time there. The pizzas were delicious, had the pork taco as well, very very tasty. The wings were nice too. Prices are affordable and the lunch specials are worth it. Definitely a new family favourite. The menu has great variety and the vibe is lively but still chilled. Summer game day hangout place!
Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, no music and no noise, can chat relax and enjoy your time there. Love the outdoor seating under the trees. Food was great and a good price. Thanks for all.
We had our year end function here on Sunday.thank you guys,we had such an awesome time.The food was amazing,the service was excellent and they were so patient with our very big and loud group.Thank you so much from De Oude Social Cafe.
Hollow Tree Old Oak has always been a favourite place of mine. It's calm, and serene atmosphere is the cherry on top of an already ridiculously good menu.
Set in a tucked away piece of land, in an old farm styled home - the interior decor gives you a cosy and warm feel. Staff are friendly and attentive, while the food is just plain delicious.
