menus



There are two main different types of menus: Table 'd hote and A la Carte.
  • Table d'hote has a fixed priced and fixed meals. There isn't a big choice of dishes. Because the menu is fixed, you can lay the table before the time with the right cutlery. Mostly this will be formal.
  • A la Carte menu has a lot of meals you can choose from. Each meal is priced separately. The right cutlery is given to the guest after they have ordered. This can be formal or informal. 
At Sondela we have a A la Carte menu at the restaurant, but our guest house is Table d'hote. When we have functions, there is a buffet and we lay the table before the time.

tough job

The food and beverage industry is not all just fun and games. It is a lot of work and long hours.Your feet will not enjoy it at all. At the end of each 10 hour day of working on your feet without a break you just want to put your feet up in the air and wish you could have a foot massage. This sounds really bad but it teaches you to endure through everything no matter how hard it seems to be, because at the end of the day everything will be fine and you will be a stronger better person.
