New captains on deck at John Dory’s Beacon Bay

-

John Dory’s Beacon Bay is under new ownership.

Co-owners, Pieter Kruger and Alex Brand have one main goal, to become East London’s first choice Fish, Grill & Sushi Restaurant, and they have set many procedures in place to make that a reality.

Family is crucial for this team, and this is obvious at first glance. Marketing manager, Wendy Brand, has been married to Alex for five years, and this will be their second restaurant together. The man behind the scenes, Hannes Kruger, in charge of the kitchen, also happens to be Pieter’s brother. Buyi Tshaka is also part of the family, and has been with John Dory’s Beacon Bay since it opened six years ago.

The team’s passion for their customers is clearly noticeable, and just by looking at all their new specials, it is evident that they want to welcome people from all walks of life. There are lots of competitio­ns both in-store and on their Facebook page, and they have an awesome sponsorshi­p initiative to help out schools and organisati­ons with their fundraisin­g efforts.

John Dory’s Beacon Bay is definitely making waves, and invites everyone to come on board.
