Prawn Shack

Rumor has it, that Bill and Jeanie Budd, along with Myles, Bills late brother, owned a farm. They needed a place to sell their veggies, so they had the idea of opening a restaurant in Durban and so Legends Late Nite Café was born on 15 April 1981. The first year saw Jeanie working in the restaurant at night, Varsity by day and typing out menus in between. Sleep was not an option!After various ventures that made a turn in Gauteng, Bill, enjoying a sabbatical, started `The Prawn Shack next to the Amatikulu Prawn farm, which only opened on Sundays. This wonderful lifestyle lasted for only 2 years, until Mike and Ben bought the old `Captains Cabin on an auction in October 2005 and coaxed Bill out of retirement whilst retiring themselves!
