Lunch and Food Demo at Ugu’s Pottery Garden

Ugu Bugyan’s Pottery Garden Restaurant is a visual and culinary experience. The layout of the various huts, the welcoming boutique and his graceful designs inspires one to take a slab of clay and start molding (a la Demi Moore in Ghost).

As an introduction to lunch, Ugu himself will give a demonstration on one of his signature dishes- the Kulawo. After lunch, meander around the surroundings and enjoy the calm and beauty this artist generously shares with us.
