Pot Luck Club's Prix Fixe is a winter treat without the wallet freeze

Pot Luck Club's Prix Fixe is a winter treat without the wallet freeze

Time Outa day ago

Cape Town is awash with swanky restaurants and fine dining options. This winter, however, The Pot Luck Club Cape Town - the one with the panoramic views and cult-like fan base, is serving up generous prix fixe menus, showing that fine food doesn't have to mean out of reach.
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).

These Are The Most Thoughtful Father's Day Gifts We've Seen This Year

Maybe your dad is easy to buy for. Maybe you always know what to get him, and he's really grateful to receive your gift. In my experience, this is not the case. I have struggled with birthdays, Christmases and most definitely Father's Day. After all, the latter is the day when you're supposed to show your care and (extreme) gratitude for the endless lifts he gave you and your friends for years on end (just me?). Just where does one find presents that feel personal and special but also remain affordable? I'll tell you: it's Bloom & Wild. You may be thinking that Bloom & Wild is the name you associate with beautiful flowers, both in letterbox and hand-tied form. While you're right, what you need to know is that the brand has expanded its gift offerings of late and now offers the most incredible array of unique ideas for every occasion. For Father's Day, this means utterly delicious hampers filled with all his favourite things, sweet treats that will fit through the letterbox and even a 'pub in a box', which involves a selection of great beers and yummy snacks. In short, there's a present fit for every dad, regardless of taste, from as little as £20. That's not all, though. Bloom & Wild is also offering a super-cute personalised present for your dad that won't cost you anything at all, to celebrate those everyday acts of care that makes every dad so special. The brand has developed a prompt for ChatGPT which asks for a photo of your dad and a little bit of text explaining what you're grateful for (from cups of tea to invaluable DIY skills), which it will then use to generate a personalised stamp which you can send. Instructions on exactly how to do this are below, and Bloom & Wild is even running a competition to let one lucky winner receive a glorious bouquet for themselves, as well as a bundle of Father's Day goodies. All you need to do is follow the brand on Instagram, then like its post going live on Tuesday 11th June. Then, simply create your stamp and share it, tagging @bloomandwild as you do so. The winner will be announced on Friday, 13th June. 1. Go go ChatGPT (or your AI image-creation tool of choice). Avoid Gemini, as it's not great at putting image on text! 2. Copy and paste the following prompt, filling in the blanks. 3. For a super personalised result, upload a photo of your father figure My [father figure] shows he cares by [insert act of care]. Turn this into a snappy headline suitable for a social media post, paired with a caring, thoughtful two-line rhyming poem that has a warm, witty tone. Use British English, and ensure the spelling is 100% accurate and the copy is grammatically correct. Then generate and place this into a grainy, vintage postage stamp-style image inspired by a 1920s poster ad, using a flat vector illustration style. Preserve the original character likeness and pose. Use vintage colours including the color palette: #447964 (green) #F9ECD7 (cream) #FDF888 (yellow). Design features must include: Perforated border edges, Bold visual highlights, Light noise texture throughout, Stamp must be rotated exactly 18 degrees and scaled to 70%, always centered in frame, Aspect ratio: 9:16, Style: v6 raw —ar 9:16. Overlay 1–2 distressed ink stamp marks. In the bottom right corner of the stamp, add the brand name: 'SENT WITH LOVE BY BLOOM & WILD' — in the same size font as surrounding text. Final image should evoke the nostalgic charm and emotional tone of a 1920s advertisement. Never again will I worry about what to buy for the man who has, until now, been impossible to buy for.

The Luxe Father's Day Hamper The perfect hamper, this one includes the following:One bottle of Malt Coast IPA (330ml, 5.3% ABV) and one bottle of Malt Coast Session IPA (330ml, 4.8%) from Malt Coast bag of everything but the bagel cookie bites by Cutter & pack of salami sticks from London Smoke & Cure (150g).One pouch of cheddar crackers from Miller's (45g)One jar of mixed nuts from Olives Et Al (150g).One jar of onion chutney from The Fine Cheese Co.

Boots knocks 50% off designer scent dads wear 'all the time'

'My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice' Boots shopper are snapping up a half price fragrance in time for Father's Day and it has rave reviews. Jimmy Choo Man Blue is usually £78 a bottle but has dropped down to £39 for a 100ml bottle. It opens up with notes of lavender, black pepper, clary sage and bergamot before settling into a heart of ambergris, leather, cypress, apple and pineapple. There's a warm base of vanilla, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli. It's a great option for fans of Eros by Versace (£39.99 for 30ml) who are looking for a slightly better value product. The scent has also proven popular with those who enjoy Explorer by Montblanc (£39 for 30ml). Man Blue has brought in an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over 100 reviews, with 98% of shoppers saying that they would recommend it. One wrote: "This is by far my favourite scent whether it be for everyday use or special occasion. This is gonna be my signature scent! This one was love at first sniff." Another swears it's a compliment magnet, writing: "This perfume is fantastic! It has the perfect combo of sweet and spicy scent. I've worn it several times now and I get at least 3 compliments every time! Highly recommend!" A disappointed shopper found the longevity lacking, penning: "I want to love it. It has a great scent. It's on par for what I like. My biggest gripe is that it fades fast. I out this on around 8am and by noon you can barely tell. Unlike the others I have that last all day. If it lasted longer I give it five stars." Jimmy Choo Man Blue £78.00 £39.00 Boots Buy Now on Boots Product Description It is worth noting that the application of a fragrance can impact the longevity of it. For those looking for a more impressive finish we would advise spraying each pulse point at least once. Another happy customer shared a bottle with their father, saying: "This smelled of delicious powder and lavender. Was great for day or night. My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice!"
