Searles Village restaurant and pub
Searles Village is a family restaurant and pub in Great Brak River, serving wood-fired dishes and seafood from local fishermen. The kitchen works with regional farmers for meat and produce, and the menu runs from pub classics to more considered plates. Upstairs, a cigar lounge has its own bar and views over the village.
The building honours the Searles family, who ran a leather factory here and shaped the town. The restaurant is on the ground floor, with the cigar lounge above it — a place to sit after dinner with a drink and a cigar from their selection. The kitchen fires dishes in a wood oven, and the seafood is local to the Garden Route coast.
Great Brak River is a small village on the Garden Route, and the restaurant sits on Lang Street in the centre. It is a place for families and groups, with a menu that covers both pub meals and more involved dishes. The cigar lounge is quieter, with views from the upper floor.
