Unique Quoin Rock Picnics Re-launch in October
Nothing beats a stylish picnic in a natural environment, with an awe inspiring backdrop and if you add dedicated service to that, Quoin Rock is a winning destination for a pleasurable, safe day out.

With its extraordinary cuisine, much has
been said about this Knorhoek Valley estate’s
Gåte restaurant. As such, Gåte’s outdoor Picnic
Experience marries together a gourmet meal of
the highest standard with private settings
located away from the restaurant area.
These custom-made picnic pergola’s feature
comfortable seating spaced more than 10 meters
apart for privacy. Only 8 Pergolas are
available, making this casual fresh air picnic
option an excellent choice during the cautionary
period of COVID-19.
What also makes
Quoin Rock’s Picnic Experience different from
other picnic alternatives, where you are simply
handed a basket and left to your own devices, at
Quoin Rock, a waiter services your table with
fresh ice, more wine and even a portion of
oysters or Espresso after your lunch.
This unique touch sees clients receive a walkie
talkie on arrival, enabling them to communicate
with their waiter to tend to their needs and
service the table with additional Gåte treats.
Every little detail at Quoin Rock is
characterised by high-end luxury, and this
translates to picnics, where glassware and
crockery have been sourced to fit the location
and offering - hence no plastic forks or plates.
Picnickers can relax in the garden after
lunch, either on a picnic blanket or fat sac or
alternatively enjoy the various lawn games
provided, making this a truly leisurely
excursion.
The Picnic Experience Menu at Gåte
A basket includes freshly baked
French baguette with chef choice artisanal
butters; basil and pesto cream dip; foie gras
pâté; fresh snoek pâté, and a local cheese and
charcuterie selection. To add to the delight, a
basket also features a butternut, baby mix
leaves and feta salad; beetroot, baby mix leaves
and goat cheese; a fresh poke bowl; smoked
salmon wrap; delicious roasted lamb on Moroccan
couscous; as well as Pina Colada and coconut
panna cotta; and unlimited still and sparkling
water.
A children’s basket includes
rootstock crisps; a chocolate or strawberry
milkshake; a handmade cookie and seasonal
berries. Children also have the option of
selecting a ham and cheese baguette, a cheese
baguette, or a mac and cheese.
Note that
chefs at Quoin are also able to create a
delectable vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free
version of the menu, with prior notice.

per children’s basket. They are available from
