Bad food

Extremely disappointed with our experience.

We paid R360 per person upfront and expected food that was at least safe and enjoyable. We understand that Hartebee****rt is in North West, South Africa, and that seafood will not be freshly caught — however, it should never be off or taste this bad.

The starter was the only part of the meal that was acceptable. Unfortunately, the rest of the food was bland and lacked flavour, and the fish was clearly off. The quality was so poor that we left after the main course, despite having paid in full.

Shortly after eating, everyone at our table experienced food poisoning, which points to a serious food safety issue.

At R360 per person, this is extremely expensive for food of such poor quality. Paying upfront and then leaving ill is unacceptable.

This experience fell far below acceptable standards, we cannot recommend De Vette Mossel Hartebee****rt.
