Business travelling foodies passing through Gauteng can look forward to a uniquely African dining experience with the launch of business tourism giant, The Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre\u2019s new on-site restaurant, Phomolong.<\/p>\n

Aptly named \u201cvacation\u201d in Southern Sotho, Phomolong\u2019s decor is a modern take on traditional African design and includes a rustic thatch roof with wooden decking, contemporary furniture and a modern open kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe upgrade and improvement to this section of property was implemented to augment our guests\u2019 experience by providing more variety and choice for their dining experiences,\u201d explains Birchwood Hotel\u2019s Marketing Manager, Greg Hoffmann.<\/p>\n

Situated less than 15 minutes away from OR Tambo International Airport and with an hourly complimentary shuttle bus service running between the two, the hotel plays host to the thousands of local and international business delegates each year.<\/p>\n

Led by Head Chef, Shannon Jooste, Phomolong is situated in the heart of the hotel\u2019s 53ha of gardens, and is the latest addition to The Birchwood Hotel\u2019s existing repertoire of onsite, speciality restaurants namely The BC Caf\u00e9, a popular lunchtime meetings venue, and The Grill at OneTwenty, an upmarket grill house.<\/p>\n

\u201cShannon has had nine years of experience in the Hospitality, Food and Beverage Industry, and, after proving his versatility among our various onsite catering facilities, we are delighted to be furthering our restaurant offering with him,\u201d says Hoffmann.<\/p>\n

Complementing the hotel\u2019s expansive 665 room offering and 60 business conferencing venues, the addition of another restaurant allows in-house guests the option of eating dinner at a different venue each night.<\/p>\n

As talented chefs prepare a broad selection of buffet meals and desserts in semi-outdoor serving stations, Phomolong offers a warm, entertaining environment as guests view the cooking action while dishing up their hearty meals.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuests can interact with our chefs during food serving; offering a unique, personalised dining experience,\u201d says Hoffmann.<\/p>\n

Prioritising convenience in the metropolis of Johannesburg is central to the business model of The Birchwood Hotel; which boasts a Mangwanani Day Spa, a fully kitted out gym, a sparkling blue pool, and squash courts on the hotel\u2019s sprawling grounds. Phomolong, as with all of Birchwood Hotel\u2019s onsite facilities, is a product of the feedback that has been received from the hotel\u2019s valuable clientele.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the market leader in facilitating SA\u2019s Business Tourism Industry, we are constantly finding ways to modify our offering to match the needs of the business travellers passing through. The launch of Phomolong is another way we strive to keep our customers happy,\u201d said Hoffmann.<\/p>\n
