La Vigna: A la carte lunch or dinner in the newly renovated, stylish restaurant. Chef Llewellyn Hurter has created a culinary tour de force with a simple yet varied menu, that will tantalize all palates. With the recent renovation of the restaurant, emphasis was placed on modernizing the restaurant with minimalist lines, different textures and eclectic table settings. While more contemporary in style the hotel has gone to great lengths to prepare that warm, welcoming feeling, synonymous with NH The Lord Charles. The adjacent wine cellar, which houses the award winning wines, can be used as a private dinning room or a meeting room for up to 14 guests.

Be it a formal three or four-course dinner or a quick salad for lunch, La Vigna will cater for all your gastronomic needs.

Garden Terrace: The Garden Terrace offers all guests the comfort and grace of a relaxed, uncluttered, airy dinning room, where the breakfast and dinner buffets are meticulously assembled, to give the guests the freshest and tastiest produce from the surrounding areas.

With the hands-on interaction between the chefs and guests, the live action stations of the show kitchen have become a focal point in this restaurant. Get creative and design your own hot breakfast, or ask the chefs to turn your dinner into a taste and flavour tour from around the world. Special sauces and spices from the four corners of the earth add to the excitement of the themed evenings in The Garden Terrace.

Fresh oysters, Eastern curries, Oriental stir-fries, rare roast beef carveries, traditional barbeques and lavish desserts offer the guests a variety of choices to suite any palate.

St Andrews 19th Hole: Fashioned on its renowned namesake, The Royal and Ancient golf course in Scotland, St Andrews pub, has become a sought after venue for smaller get together in the Helderberg area. With authentic memorabilia from bygone days, the warm and inviting ambiance of this pub is a welcome respite after the day's activities.

Pool decks: The pool deck menus are available all day and offer light lunches and salads for sun worshippers who prefer to remain outside.

Lobby Lounge: At the heart of NH The Lord Charles is the comfortable lobby lounge. With luxurious couches and stylish wingbacks, this is the perfect setting for that quick business meeting, or to catch up on the day's news with the wide selection of local and international newspapers.

High Tea is served between 15h00 and 17h00 every day. During the winter months, the blazing fire warms the room. This lends itself to quiet cosy afternoons with friends and loved ones enjoying a hot cup of Joe or champagne and orange juice.
