Grubshup

Grubshup is located right in the Erandwane Timber Market area. It is a place where there is always a lot of heavy lifting and noise from the wood being moved around nearby. Our shop is simple and we focus on getting food ready for the people who work in the market. We open early because the workers start their day before most people. We have a small stove and a few tables that have seen a lot of use over the years. The floor is concrete and we try to keep it clean but sawdust always finds its way in from the street. We serve basic things like tea and quick meals that people can eat without taking too much time. There is no air conditioning so we have a couple of wall fans that stay on all day to move the air around. We know most of the guys who work in the timber shops and they come by for their morning break. The conversations are usually about the weather or the work they have for the day. We don't have a big menu because we have a small kitchen. We buy our vegetables from the local market every couple of days. It is a hardworking atmosphere around here and we are just one part of that daily grind. We close up when the market starts to quiet down in the evening. We wash all the dishes and put them away for the next morning start.
