You haven't had a pie until you have had one from Maders!
Maders is an institution in Pretoria, having served wholesome pies for over 43 years.
For this week's Takeaway Wednesday outing, the team tried a Pretoria classic: pies from Maders.
Maders is a lot of things - hotel, bar, night club - but chief among these is restaurant and butchery. Known to have the best meat and pies in Pretoria (maybe even the province), Maders is a pillar of Pretorianism.
Even Pretorians that have never been to Maders know they sell the best meat and pies!
On any trip to Maders, you go for the pies, but stay for the immersive atmosphere.
Few other institutions can claim to be both an eatery and a museum. The butchery is a huge hall housing numerous historical artifacts, from typewriters to radios to musical instruments, cash registers, telephones and bicycles. Talk about a trip down memory lane!
Their most prized item is a Hohner accordion, an article that is so rare, most people believe it has fallen out of existence.
