NUMBER OF GUESTS, MENU & PAYMENT

The final number of guests must be confirmed one week prior to the function. This number serves as the basis for the meal account. The amount due for the meal account is calculated as follows:

Step 1: (Number of guests) multiply (Price of chosen menu) = (Subtotal 1)
Step 2: (Number of guides/drivers/tour leaders) multiply (50% of menu price) = (Subtotal 2)
Step 3: (Subtotal 1) add (Subtotal 2) = (Subtotal 3)
Step 4: (Subtotal 3) add 10% service charge = (Total due)


This above calculated amount is to be prepaid before the day of the function. In case of a direct deposit / transfer proof of payment must be faxed to the restaurant. (Details as above.) Should the function organiser be unable to make a transfer / direct deposit a cheque will also be accepted. (Cheques should be made out to ‘Haute Cabrière Cellar Restaurant’.) Organisers that wish to pay the meal account by credit card will be charged the applicable commission charged by the credit card company in addition to the above-calculated total amount due. (Visa and MasterCard charge 3% commission while AMEX and DINERS charge 5% commission.)

Should the number of guests attending the function decrease during the week between confirmation of final numbers and the function, no refund will be given.

The drinks account, 10 % service charge thereon and any overtime is to be settled on the day by credit card or cheque. No commission will be charged on this amount.

The chosen menu for the function must be confirmed with the restaurant 2 weeks before the date of the function. (This is to allow the chefs sufficient time to order all the required ingredients.)

Please communicate any special dietary requirements to the restaurant. If not informed, the restaurant cannot guarantee that suitable alternative dishes will be available.

FUNCTION ARRANGEMENTS & CONDITIONS

Wines, spirits and bar:
Only Haute Cabrière wines and Pierre Jourdan Methode Cap Classiques may be served.
NO “FOREIGN” wines, spirits, soft drinks, mineral waters, beers, food or chocolates may be brought onto the property.

If the function has exclusive use of the restaurant a full bar can be organised. It is incumbent on the function organiser to inform the restaurant at least one week prior to the function what beverages they would like the bar to be stocked with. These will be purchased by the restaurant and sold at restaurant prices.

The restaurant is unable to offer a cash bar facility.

For evening functions ‘last round’ is at 23h45 and the bar closes strictly at 24h00. The venue is booked until 00h30. Should the function organiser wish to extend these times a charge of R1000 per hour, or part thereof, as from 00h30 will be levied. This amount will cover the extra expenses for special transport arrangements and overtime for staff. The event organiser or nominated person will be advised of the function cut off time 15 minutes prior to the scheduled or agreed time.

DECORATIONS

Any special decorations, flowers, menus, etc (other than those normally provided by the restaurant) is the responsibility of the function organiser. The restaurant has several contacts and useful telephone numbers for your information.

Please check with management when the venue will be available to start with decorations on the function day.

It is the responsibility of the function organiser to inform the florist and decorators of the venue limitations and conditions prior to the function date:
• The florist, or another person designated by the function coordinator, will be responsible not only for setting up of the flowers, but also for lighting of candles and checking that the desired ambience is created.
• Haute Cabrière staff cannot assist the florist, or any other person, with decorations, carrying of material or moving flower arrangements either during set-up or later during the event.
• Haute Cabrière does not take any responsibility for decorations or flowers found missing during the event or thereafter, due to guests helping themselves.
• ALL decorations, candles and flowers must be removed from the restaurant by no later than 11am the day following the function. If not adhered to the restaurant will dispose of any items as it sees fit - as it does not have space to store them.

GENERAL

Damages: Any damages to the cellar, restaurant equipment, furniture, linen, glassware or the venue will be charged to the function organiser’s account.

Emergencies: In the event of an emergency the restaurant has emergency procedures in place in which all staff and management are fully trained.

Smoking: In accordance with South Africa’s legislation, the restaurant is strictly non-smoking, unless the function organiser decides otherwise. In this event please sign the following:


“The function organiser for the ________________________ group, ________________________, gives permission for the restaurant (not the cellar) to be a smoking venue for the duration of the function.”

The cellar remains strictly non-smoking at all times. No eating or drinking is allowed in the cellar.

Availability of venue:
The venue is available for lunch functions from 12h00 onwards until 16h00. For dinner functions the venue is available from 18h30 onwards.
Evening functions can hire the venue for the whole day should they wish to decorate the venue before 15h00. The charges for this use are as follows:-
June – August R4000

This fee does not relate to or include the R500 deposit paid to the restaurant to confirm the date.

EXCLUSIVE USE

For smaller groups (60 people or less) a minimum charge of R12 000 will apply. This includes the client’s choice of menu from our exclusive selection but excludes a 10% service charge, wines consumed and any other extras. Should your numbers increase, an additional charge per head, as per the chosen menu, will be charged.

In the event that the amount obtained by multiplying the number of guests with the price of the selected menu is greater than R12 000 the greater amount will be charged.

For exclusive use the numbers need to be confirmed one week in advance.

Sequence of events: For functions involving speeches, ceremonies, etc a document outlining the sequence of events must be agreed with the restaurant’s management at least two days prior to the function. Our team of chefs will be using the agreed ‘sequence of events’ as a guideline to time their preparations. Situations such as lengthy speeches, additional speeches or sudden changes in the order of events affect the efficiency of the kitchen considerably and may affect the quality of the experience.

Disclaimer: Haute Cabrière is on a working farm with tractors, mowers and other moving equipment. We have an open dam and fountain and while every reasonable effort is taken to ensure the safety of our guests, we do not accept responsibility for any injuries or damage sustained to guests or their property for whatever reason.
