After running some of SA’s most successful software companies, IT entrepreneur Alan Greig has headed for the hills with his wife Jane Mitchell to run a restaurant in one of SA’s oldest buildings.

Alan and Jane, who has an extensive background in recruitment and professional development, have bought the historic Leonards Mill restaurant and function centre on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

The restaurant, which they are in the process of refurbishing before a planned pre-Christmas launch, is in a building that dates back to 1859, just 23 years after the colony of South Australia was founded.

Located in Second Valley, the bay was imaginatively named by SA’s visionary Colonel William Light who came across the sea-facing valley shortly after discovery Rapid Bay – which was the first valley!

With a professional pedigree that includes being CEO of SA-based software innovators Prophecy and Empower, Alan has accepted second fiddle position at Leonards Mill, where he will stock and manage the bar while Jane will be in charge of the overall operation.

Alan said the immediate challenge after getting the keys next month was to refurbish Leonards Mills. “We want to refresh it a bit,” he said. “Our intention is to brighten up the main bar and restaurant area and to make it feel a bit more contemporary, while keeping the heritage flavour.
