Eat – Boschendal

Arum Restaurant

Rosa Scharf — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 06:36:14 +0000

Arum Restaurant

Arum, Boschendal’s newest dining experience, occupies the historic 1812 cellar overlooking the organic vegetable gardens.

Led by the celebrated Peter Tempelhoff along with the Fyn group’s Ashley Moss and Jennifer Hugé, together with executive chef Travis Finch, the restaurant is rooted firmly in the farm’s agricultural story.

Arum offers a dining experience that is both grounded in place and creatively expressive, celebrating Boschendal’s heritage through flavour, craft, and a deep respect for the land.

FARM-TO-FIRE

Arum will showcase a farm-to-fire approach to cooking. The majority of the ingredients will naturally be sourced from Boschendal, while elements of flame, be it smoke, char, or a subtle grill, will be woven throughout the menu.

The Arum team currently works alongside the estate’s gardeners, growers, and breeders. This close collaboration ensures that an impressive variety of estate-grown ingredients, often more than forty different species, are available on the menu at any given time. Fire plays a central role, with smoke, charcoal, and gentle flame bringing depth and elegance to the dishes.

A contemporary bar adds another layer to the experience. It serves inventive cocktails crafted from house-made tinctures, garden essences, and botanicals sourced from the surrounding mountain slopes.
