Cinnamon, chilli, and a touch of sweetness, all on one plate. You’ll taste two iconic food staples, including a Samosa and Cape Malay Chicken, served alongside a flight of three w**es. 🍷

2 food samples, 3 w**es and a £20 voucher for just £30 per ticket?
Join us for Passport to South Africa, as we explore the famous flavours of Cape Malay cuisine.
What is Cape Malay Cooking? 🇿🇦
Traditional Cape Malay food customs, traditions and etiquettes evolved from the intermingling of slaves and exiles from Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa and the European colonists at the Cape of Good Hope.
Over the centuries the Cape Malay cuisine became the original fusion food incorporating the food habits of slave masters with the exotic dishes of the enslaved. Many of the tropical ingredients for Cape Malay recipes were substituted with what was available locally, resulting in milder and more fragrant dishes.
Join our events to learn (and taste!) more about Cape Malay cooking.
