Update on the Mutual Mews Fire

The little Mutual Mews shopping centre is located in Rivonia between Rivonia Road and Rivonia Boulevard.  It is between Early Dawn Mall and the Shell garage, opposite the larger Rivonia Village shopping centre. As we mentioned in our December 2019 issue, most of Mutual Mews was gutted in a fire in the afternoon of Saturday 30 November. Only Tiger Wheel & Tyre was not burnt out.  They have now reopened.

Boulevard Cellars lost the shop and all their stock.  They are busy stocking their new premises at 777 Rivonia Road, corner 7th Avenue (next to Nandos), and will open shortly.  The status of the other shops is still as reported in December.  We've revised our entries for 777 Rivonia Road and Seventh Avenue, Rivonia.

Restaurant Reviews by Judith Back to top

*** Ocean Basket, Morningview Shopping Centre, South Road Morningside

Quick meal at one of our favourite places, but it was not their best day. Charity gave good service but the fish and chips were not their usual standard.

**** Ocean Basket Rivonia, Rivonia Village, Rivonia

Now licensed! We had their Dry White wine and Hot Chocolate, plus Famous Fish and chips and Whitebait with Calamari. The latter I found somewhat dry, however my partner was happy with his fish and chips. Good service from Metilia. This is definitely a family restaurant and worth a visit.
