The Tree

Local boy Brendan Brokensha has returned to his roots, and has set up the unique dining experience that is The Tree in Sodwana Bay.
Brendan owned five successful pubs in the UK, serving pub fayre, upmarket gastro and lastly, American Dining. He won a host of awards including “Britain’s Second Best Burger” which was no mean feat in a rapidly expanding fast food market and “Bedfordshire’s` Top Chef”.
Brendan returned from the UK last year and feels he is back where he belongs, in Sodwana, cooking for an appreciative crowd. He derives huge pleasure from watching people enjoy his food. His ingredients are all raw, fresh and locally sourced. His recipes remain a closely guarded secret!
His specialties are burgers and he travelled the length and breadth of the US to find the perfect burger, which when he did, put his own spin on it and made it a bestselling burger, On Sunday`s his roasts are legendary.
If you want food cooked by an internationally trained chef, who is local, loves everything about Sodwana, the people, the cultural mix, the weather and the stunning surroundings - then visit The Tree and experience a gastronomic delight in quirky surroundings where inspiration has been gleaned from his worldwide travels. From the sandy bar with swings, to the open plan restaurant where you are able to sit with your feet in fresh water, to playing pool, to sunning yourself on the sundeck, or if you`re a sports lover, you can take your pick of the many televised South African and international sports.
The Tree truly is a unique experience so don`t just take our word for it, come and soak your feet whilst you eat and enjoy the best meal in Zululand!
