    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    This is a lovely, old-fashioned and down to earth eatery in Bellville. Situated off Old Oak Road, Hollow Tree offers indoor and outdoor dining. There is a bar inside and even a separate dining room for events. The highlight for us was the roast lunch special they have on Sundays. The portion is generous and the price really reasonable. Service was lovely and friendly.

    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.

    Hollow Tree makes a good Margherita Pizza 🍕Worth checking out if you in the area and has a great vibe. The service could be improved as they can take quite a while to get your order ready but definitely a great place to chill with colleagues or friends and have a pizza and drinks.

    Perfect place to enjoy a nice meal or a couple of drinks.I've had the Sirloin 3 times in a row and they prepared my meal just how I requested each time with consistency.Menu is wellpriced and waiters are very friendly and attentive.Seats inside & outside including a separate bar area.Will definitely return.

    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.

    In a world where you can use AI to write posts, 1000 words long, let's keep it short and sweet. 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.
