There are milestones, and then there are moments worthy of a standing ovation.

The icon herself

This year, Evita se Perron celebrates 30 glorious years of theatre, tart humour, towering wigs and timeless Swartland hospitality. And in true theatrical style, the iconic Darling institution is marking the occasion with an exciting new chapter: Swartland Kitchen has officially rebranded as Evita se Perron.

In the words of Evita Bezuidenhout herself: “It’s less of a makeover and more of a homecoming, darling!”

For many years, Swartland Kitchen operated alongside Evita se Perron, earning its own loyal following for its celebrated range of rusks, including Sunflower & Sesame, Buttermilk, Almond & Orange, Breakfast and Breakfast Reduced Sugar; as well as its beloved cookies with flavours such as Ginger, Soetkoekies and Vlakoekies and the much-loved Granola.

In a country that has transformed dramatically over three decades, Evita se Perron has remained both witness and participant, holding up a mirror, cracking a joke and pouring another glass of dooswyn when it’s needed most

Delicious!!

As the curtain rises on its fourth decade, one thing is certain: the train hasn’t left the station … it’s simply picking up speed.
