Nieu-Bethesda – Afval Gilde: February and October

The Afval Gilde is a bi-annual gourmet event held in the village of Nieu‑Bethesda that’s geared toward “nose-to-tail” food lovers. It takes place twice a year, typically in February and October, and is hosted at the venue Tot‑Hier‑Toe Padstal on Martins Street.

The term “nose-to-tail” refers to utilising the whole animal (or whole produce) rather than just select cuts, which emphasises sustainability, flavour exploration and creativity in the kitchen. A curated menu showcasing Karoo-style ingredients, inventive preparations and the full ethos of “use the whole” is prepared, while there’s a non-afval menu available for those who aren’t as daring.
