  “Very flavourful South African food. The sausages really tasted good in a spicy sauce with beans.”

  “An okay meal, but let down by service and an outdated menu The food here is actually okay, but the overall experience was a bit disappointing due to a few management and service issues. Outdated Menu: They still list items like crocodile steak and certain wine varieties on their website and the entrance board. We traveled a considerable distance specifically for a certain dish, only to find out they haven't actually had it for two years. Missing Ingredients: We ordered a platter that was supposed to include ostrich meat, but that was missing too. It had to be replaced with a different type of meat. Given the high price of the platter, this was very disappointing. Warm Wine: The wine was served warm and they didn’t have any chilled options ready. While they offered to put a bottle in the fridge for us, it takes too long to reach the right temperature when you are already waiting to eat. Slow Service: We had to wait quite a long time for a waiter to take our order, and it took a while just to get our drinks. Even after that, we waited a long time for someone to pass by our table and check if we needed anything else, despite the restaurant not being very crowded. Pricing: The prices are on the higher side. Considering the issues with ingredient availability, un-updated menus, and service speed, it didn't feel like good value for money. It has potential because the food is decent, but they really need to update their menus and improve service efficiency.”

  “Me and my wife have to come here more often! The food is delicious and it’s so nice to get some proper cream soda. The bunny chows are my favourite and they are all a much try.”

  “Braai Shack in Wolverton is a really unique place with a great South African feel throughout. The decor is interesting and full of character, creating a welcoming and authentic atmosphere. The menu offers a wide variety of food choices and everything we ordered was served hot, fresh, and packed with flavour. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but the public parking near the church is a convenient alternative. Overall, the food was delicious, the experience was memorable, and it genuinely felt like a little taste of South Africa in Milton Keynes.”

  “I am totally disgusted by the miss guided pictures and information that is displayed. As you can see my meat was over cooked, small and very thin , I feel cheered . The glorified Deliveroo pictured JUICY, MEDIUM MELT IN YOUR MOUTH. I can just about bite into it, the asparagus have the ends still on so not a nice bite. I am sick & tired of looking at a picture and “believing “ I will get as seen. “ sold as seen” Food disgusting and fit for the bin. Meaning wasting whooping £35 on - uneditable food Over cooked meat Asparagus with ends on A waste of build up as I was expecting the delicious picture. Maybe I should have just ate the picture instead. So incredibly disappointed 😡😡😡”

  “Incredible first experience here. The whole restaurant is decorated really cool and has lots of things to look at. The menu is extremely extensive. My husband grew up in Zimbabwe & Cape Town and loved how authentic the food was. The starters, mains and desserts were all delicious. The staff were lovely and helpful. Would really recommend a visit, we look forward to returning soon”

  “We had a wonderful time at the Braai Shack. The food was absolutely incredible and reminded me of home - definitely the spot for homesick South Africans. The service was great and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Absolutely great experience overall and would highly recommend!”

  “The hostess was so warm and welcoming, I half expected her to offer me a blanket and a bedtime story. The food? Outrageously good. Like, "cancel your flight to Cape Town, we've got it covered" good. Every dish was a nostalgic hug from the homeland. If you're South African, prepare for happy tears. And if you're not? Well, congratulations, you've just discovered what flavour was missing from your life. A true taste of home… even if your home is technically in the UK.”
