A MESSAGE OF THANKS TO OUR COMMUNITY ❤️
To our wonderful community in Lonehill, Fourways and beyond — thank you.
Over the past few days, we have been overwhelmed by the kindness, concern and support shown to us following the recent fire in The Braai Room's kitchen. The messages, calls, offers of help and words of encouragement have meant more to us than we can express.
For almost 14 years, Country Meat has been proud to serve this community, and The Braai Room has become a special part of that journey. Overlooking the beautiful Lonehill Dam, it is a place where people gather to enjoy good food, celebrate special occasions and make memories together.
The recent fire involving one of our kitchen extractor fans was an upsetting incident for our entire team. We are incredibly grateful that the fire was brought under control and, most importantly, that no one was injured.
We take health, safety and hygiene seriously. Our extractor system had been professionally serviced approximately six weeks before the incident, and the cause of the fire and the necessary follow-up measures are being addressed with the appropriate care and attention.
Unfortunately, the kitchen sustained more extensive damage, and we need to complete the necessary repairs before we can safely reopen.
🔥 The Braai Room - Lonehill remains temporarily closed while repairs are completed.
⛳ Golf Room by Country Meat will also remain closed until The Braai Room reopens its doors. We will share updates and confirm our reopening date as soon as possible.
🥩 Country Meat Butchery IS OPEN AND TRADING AS USUAL!
We look forward to welcoming you there in the meantime.
We are hopeful that the necessary repairs will take only a few days, and when we are ready to reopen, we would love our community to come back and celebrate with us. Your support will mean the world to our team as we work towards getting back to doing what we love.
To everyone who has reached out, offered help or simply sent a kind message — thank you for standing with us. This experience has reminded us how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring community.
Lonehill, Fourways & beyond — your support means more than words can say ❤️
Please follow our page for reopening updates. We cannot wait to welcome you back.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Braai Room & Golf Room Team ❤️
