Description: Field & Fork derives its name from the culinary vision of bringing locally sourced quality produce from the field to your table. Chef and owner Francois du Rand serves these ingredients with a great passion for food and a dash of French flair. Field & Fork is located in Swellendam's heritage area and forms part of the Drostdy Museum. Steeped in history and oozing character, this restaurant brings you modern style bistro food with panache. The menu is small and changes often but caters to all palates. Our wines as our food, are only sourced locally from award-winning wineries. Welcome to the Field & Fork.

The historical context gives certainly an added value to this small restaurant. But most of all we loved the genuine friendliness one experiences while dining in this house. The food is fresh and tasteful, the wines well selected.

We had dinner here again and every time we are amazed by the super friendly and efficient staff, the fantastic menu and the wine list with some very special wines on offer. It's such an enjoyable experience that we plan our travel around supper at Field & Fork.

Set in a lovely old house in Swellendam, apparently one of the oldest there, is this quaint little restaurant. Do not let it fool you that it looks like an old, run down house. You are in for a big surprise! The food there is delicious, and really worth the visit to Swellendam. We had the delicious duck and I went for Dom Pedro for afters. It was a lovely evening. We will visit this nice place again.

We had a lovely evening here. We were mischievously welcomed by Paulette and she continued to make our evening a delight. The food was beautifully cooked and presented. If we are in Swellendam again, we wouldn't hesitate to revisit.
