Prior to the launch, about 50-60 people, including family, friends and people from the local community came to the shop on Wednesday, July 27 to enjoy drinks and nibbles.
While the shop aims to bring a taste of South Africa to the community, it also incorporates English food – selling products such as tea, coffee, jam, local honey, bread, and milk. William added that the store is centred around ‘trying something a bit different’ – not just the typical meat such as beef, chicken and lamb that is widely available at butchers. The shop sells a variety of South African products including fresh biltong (dried, cured meat) and boerewors (a type of sausage).Ĭustomers can also purchase fresh meat including kangaroo fillets, wild boar sausages, wagyu burgers, venison burgers, and ostrich burgers.

The owner of a new shop selling South African and English food products has hailed the success of the business’ first few days of trading.īiltong Bros in Cookham High Street threw open its doors on Thursday, July 28 and has been met with ‘really positive feedback’ from the community.
