Pot Luck Club's Prix Fixe is a winter treat without the wallet freeze
With two options to choose from, either the Prix Fixe Lite (six plates) or the Prix Fixe Loaded (eight plates), it serves up beautifully bold small plates designed to be shared- or not, we're not judging. The flavour intensity and flair are also exactly what you'd expect from a Luke Dale Roberts kitchen.
Pot Luck Club's winter prix fixe lineup makes room for all the firm favourites - from those plump fish sliders that come with that miso mayo–mojo dressing combo through to the rich, fall-apart situation of the pork Penang belly. And don't sleep on the chickpea, goat's cheese, and parmesan fries, basically a cheesy, crunchy miracle with truffle aioli on the side. But the real headline? That Café au Lait sauce that haunts our food dreams. Honestly, it's the whole deal, whether over mushrooms or a beef fillet.
Cape Town's lunch-only Lite' version is R550pp; the 'Loaded' experience - eight decadent plates of culinary magic—is R795pp.
This is bite-sized luxury worth braving the cold for. Savour it with someone who deserves a proper treat, like dad, this coming Father's Day.
📍The Pot Luck Club
📅 Prix fixe menus available from until 30 Sept 2025
📲 Booking essential: The Pot Luck Club
And if you're in the mood to go full maximalist? Their Sunday Brunch is also back with ten courses, bottomless bubbly, and a DIY Bloody Mary bar. It's adding more bang to Cape Town's brunch scene in a deliciously, unhinged way (@ R1250pp, brunch never looked so boujee).

Netflix's Wednesday fans share huge Lady Gaga plot theory as star missing from first part of season 2
Wednesday season 2 part one was released on Netflix yesterday but fans were disappointed to discover that Lady Gaga does not feature in the first four episodes of the show. Netflix's Wednesday starring Jenna Ortega is back with a bang for season two with the first part of the eight-part season already in the number one spot on the streaming platform's top 10 list after just 24 hours. However, fans were disappointed to discover that Lady Gaga does not star in the first part of the show, which was released on Wednesday August 6. The Poker Face hitmaker was listed as part of an exciting series of guest stars who were being added to the cast. Other names included Thandiwe Newton, Christopher Lloyd and Haley Joel Osment, all of whom appear in the first part of the season, with Gaga nowhere to be seen. Details of the singer's appearance have been kept under top secret over at Netflix HQ with no official show stills yet of her character. The Star is Born actress is confirmed to be playing Rosaline Rotwood, who's described as a 'legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday'. However, fans will have to patiently wait for her guest appearance in the second part of season two, which is set to drop in September. Wednesday viewers are also keen to hear Gaga's new song Dead Dance, which will feature in the show next month as fans have speculated that it could be a major element in trying to replicate season one's viral dance moment. Taking to X to share their theories, a Lady Gaga fan account suggested: "What if Enid dies and Wednesday search for how to make her alive and finds Gaga's character and she tells her she has to do a DEAD DANCE to make her not dead anymore. '"Gaga and Jenna do it together, works for viral moments." Another fan echoed this sentiment as they wrote: "Maybe another Bloody Mary like situation is going to happen with Dead Dance? I can imagine Gaga & Jenna's characters having a viral moment in the series while the song is being played." While Wednesday fans have already polished off the first four episodes, many were left frustrated that the season had been split in half and that they would need to wait even longer for Gaga's arrival. One questioned on X: "Is Gaga in the first half of Wednesday or not?" Another wrote :"Watching Wednesday… where is GAGA." A third fumed: "If Lady Gaga Is in Part 2, then I'll wait to resubscribe to Netflix in September". A fourth dramatically stated: "Just watched Wednesday and Lady Gaga is not in the first part and my entire life ruined in that moment now I have to wait till September." Gaga's feature in the show was confirmed back in May when she stepped out at a Netflix fan event in Los Angeles for a Wednesday-themed performance of Zombieboy from her album Mayhem. Wednesday co-creator Alfred Gough revealed that Gaga's guest appearance came about as a result of the first season's viral dance (with moves inspired by Siouxsie Sioux and Bob Fosse, among others), which TikTokers set to her deep cut track Bloody Mary and was credited with the show becoming a smash hit, the Metro reports. Gough told The Hollywood Reporter. she said: "She was interested, we were interested. 'But she's Lady Gaga, she's very busy. So we were able to work out a character for her to play, a time for her to come and do it. "We all know she's an amazing actress, so we were just thrilled that she could come and play in the sandbox." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Meanwhile, Ortega described Lady Gaga as 'unbelievably sweet and giving'. The 22-year-old also hinted that Gaga's screen appearance may just be a brief affair as she told E! News: "To be able to spend a day with her shooting was an absolute dream." In the same interview, Catherine Zeta-Jones said: "I think just having her presence on the isle of Ireland just lifted everybody up. She's a queen. She's on the level to be in her presence for any amount of time is very memorable." Wednesday season 2 is available to watch on Netflix now with the second part arriving on September 3.

Lady Gaga Has Not Appeared In Wednesday Season Two Yet – Here's Why
The long-awaited second season of Netflix's hit show, Wednesday, is finally here. Well, the first four episodes are anyway... And fans were quick to notice that Lady Gaga, the guest star of the series, was absent from part one. In May, it was announced that the iconic music artist Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, would appear in the second season during a live Netflix Tudum event. The singer emerged from a coffin – honouring the Wednesday aesthetic – marked 'Here Lies the Monster Queen' and sang 'Zombieboy' remixed with the Addams family theme tune, 'Bloody Mary' and 'Abracadabra' to celebrate the casting news. Of course the question on everyone's lips is: when will she appear? For those disappointed after watching the first few episodes, Lady Gaga was always due to appear in part two. 'Welcome to Nevermore, Mother Monster,' Netflix confirmed in May. 'Lady Gaga will guest star in Wednesday season 2 part 2 as Rosaline Rotwood – a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday.' Lead actress and gothic style icon Jenna Ortega has been tight lipped about Gaga's cameo, although she did say her Tudum performance was 'very exciting' and 'a surprise'. 'She's such a legend and such a powerhouse,' Jenna added. 'Just an incomparable force. So to be able to sit at a dinner table and do nothing and watch her close up – what a gift.' 'She seemed perfect,' Alfred said about casting the singer in Wednesday . 'We were excited to find her a small role in the show – which is all we can really say about that at this point.' Gaga joins Steve Buscemi and Joanna Lumley as new cast members and director Tim Burton was quick to sing all their praises during a recent interview with Variety . '[Gaga is] such an artist and so for me, working with an artist is inspirational. But I feel that way about Joanna and Steve, who I've worked with before. These people come on this set, you see the whole crew kind of light up. It's a beautiful thing to witness.' The next batch of episodes featuring Gaga drop on Wednesday 3 September.

'I played ITV's £250,000 gameshow - I didn't know life could be that stressful'
'Fancy playing ITV's new game show?' As someone who is fiercely competitive, loves reality TV and will rarely turn down the promise of a free meal, being offered the chance to play The Fortune Hotel, ITV's big budget returning game show with twists bigger than The Traitors, was a no-brainer. Of course I was in. When do you ever get to experience what it's really like to be pitted against a bunch of strangers for the chance to win a £5,000 cash prize for the charity of your choice? Little did I know, just hours after arriving at The Gallivant Hotel in Rye, which had been transformed into The Fortune Hotel especially for the occasion, I'd be bursting into tears. Hosted by acclaimed actor and Green Wing funnyman Stephen Mangan, The Fortune Hotel follows 10 couples after they've checked into the swanky $1500 (£1,197) per night Silversands resort in Granada hoping they'll be staying in the Caribbean for enough time to get a golden tan and be able to take home £250,000. But, obviously, it's not going to be easy. Each couple picks a suitcase at random that either contains the £250,000, wads of worthless bundles of paper, or the very unfortunate check-out card. At the end of each episode, the couples will open their cases and if they discover they're the owner of said check-out card, as the name suggests, their time in The Fortune Hotel is over. For everyone else, it's vital to keep your cards and the contents of your case close to your chest. Just one wrong look or the slightest slip up could give your game away. And due to opportunities to have your case stolen during the competition, you could wake up with £250,000 one day and go to bed with scraps of A4. We weren't flown over to the Caribbean to play the game for a day, and there wasn't a case filled with £250,000 for us to take home – but even without a life-changing amount of money at stake, stress levels were high. We were put into pairs, and one by one we picked our case, opening it in front of the rival teams and hoping not to give any signals that might reveal the contents inside. Ours had nothing – it was a case full of blank paper. Regardless, I was shaking like I'd just opened a chest of gold – or the card that would see me banished. Suspicions were on us. Shortly after we'd all got our cases, there was a few minutes to mingle and suss out the competition before the first challenge of the day. We'd worked out who had the check-out card and had a good idea of who had the money through other contestants' body language. Everything was about to change, though. We were all sent to our rooms, clinging onto our cases, where we found an iPad and two cocktails. By this point I needed a cocktail almost as much as the prize money, but with a quick sniff it became clear this wasn't the type of Porn Star martini that was going to get me through the afternoon. Instead, the cocktails were killer combinations of rogue ingredients that had been disguised as a Bloody Mary and a Sex on The Beach. Both tasted like vinegar-flavoured mouth wash. We had to decipher the five ingredients in each cocktail and write them down on a blackboard, which we left outside our room. We then had to wait for a producer to tell us if we'd won. Whichever team identified the most ingredients would get a knock on the door and the chance to steal a case of their choosing, without any other team knowing about the exchange. Sadly, the knock never came for us. We were still stuck with our case of blank paper – but at least we didn't have the check-out card. Once the exchange had been completed, we were all brought back together to find out what the second challenge would entail. We were all looking around to see who seemed to be behaving differently now that a secret swap had been made. But there wasn't much time before we were each given a map, a list of clues and were sent out of the hotel. Armed with a selfie stick, we had to work through the clues to reveal a series of local landmarks, then snap pictures there. Our correct answers would be tallied along with how quickly we got back at the hotel, and both would inform our score. We thought we'd taken all the right photos in less than 10 minutes and smugly dashed back to the hotel, handed over our photos and kicked back with a glass of wine. Turns out we were way off, taking just two correct photos out of four and ending up second to last. In the last round of the day, teams would be able to swap their case with any other team, starting with the team that came in last place on the treasure hunt. The winners would therefore have the benefit of having the final swap, choosing whichever case they wanted knowing no one could take it from them. For the first time all day it felt as though we were on the chopping block. Our chances of taking the prize money were doomed and now it was just a matter of survival. If we had the check-out card, we were told it was curtains – we'd be going home, no overnight stay in the luxury hotel and we'd be lucky to get a sandwich from a petrol station on the way home. My nerves were shot. After we'd swapped our case with a rival team (who we felt had become visibly more nervous after the cocktail challenge) we were pretty confident we were holding the prize money. But so did everyone else. The next team pinched our case from us immediately and we were stuck with theirs which, to my horror, felt noticeably lighter than the case we'd been clinging onto all day. Surely that could only mean one thing – we had the check-out card. One by one the teams swapped, tensions were high and the wait was unbearable. When it came to opening our case – convinced we were goners and about to do the walk of shame, escorted out of the hotel in front of the competition – I was trembling as we lifted the lid to reveal what was inside. Staring back at me was a case of paper, not the check-out card, and I was so overwhelmed with relief, I burst into tears. I've cried at Come Dine With Me, a particularly moving episode of Deal or No Deal, but for the first time in my life I burst into tears over blank pieces of paper. In the end, the pair we were convinced had the suitcase of money actually did have the cash – until it was taken from them after the cocktail challenge. We weren't even playing for life-changing money and the entire experience was wrapped up into a day. Contestants of the real The Fortune Hotel will have to endure the mental strain of playing for a six-figure cash prize and deceiving their rivals 24/7 for the entirety of filming. After being a faux reality TV contestant for a matter of hours, I have a newfound respect for anyone brave enough to play these games for real and not buckle. I would crumble at the first hurdle, come clean with the money and ruin my team's chances immediately. I didn't know life could be much more stressful than playing Articulate with your dad who thinks Kim Kardashian was in Game of Thrones, but it turns out I was wrong. More Trending Playing The Fortune Hotel was by far one of the most exhilarating stresses I've ever experienced. If you're watching along tonight, I can promise you it is 10 times harder to play than it looks. If the contestants appear to be gradually losing their minds, you would too. I am living proof without having any life-changing opportunities at stake. The Fortune Hotel airs Wednesday, August 6, at 9pm on ITV.
