The Old Biscuit Mill

So... On Saturday I decided to take a little tour of the Biscuit Mill, family was down from Johannesburg and so they wanted to go to a truly Capetonian venue.. Biscuit Mill it is then!
As we struggled to find parking, the hordes has already flocked to where the delicious smells hailed, and it was all we could do to not sprint through the front gates and into the main area.

 

First we went to the Mushroom Kebabs, an assortment of mushrooms on a sticks that are coated with an oil marinade and put on a little braai until they reach delicious perfection! The next stop was to the Macaroons, which was a bit of a task owing to the multitude of people, but these little elbows of mine were a perfect match for the crowd and 4 Macaroons (vanilla, coffee and x2 chocolate) later, my wallet was only R20 lighter and we were on our way again to the smoothie bar.
Anything from mango and orange to a pomegranate smoothie that will have you crying out for more, we had to use all of our willpower to pull ourselves away and then head across to where there was a crowd around a ginormous paella pan that could have fed an entire infantry!
The paella, as you may have now immediately understood, was divine.

The Old Biscuit Mill does not only have food however, if you exit the main food area, you come across a tent that is the housing for a vast collection of vintage and locally designed clothing (being a definite source of some of my wardrobe) and  some little bits and pieces.
The NEW chocolate factory that shows you all the info on how and why they do things to chocolate to make it as delicious as it is...

The Biscuit Mill has something for everyone, food, drink, good conversation, clothing, everything.
I try to go there whenever I can and for as long as I can, just beware that there are likely a few thousand other people thinking exactly the same thing.
