THE POT LUCK CLUB POP-UP AT THE WALDORF HILTON, LONDON EXTENDS LONDON STAY
Cape Town’s Coolest Restaurant Extends London Residency Until June
South Africa, Cape Town, 11 November 2025; Following an exceptionally popular run, The Waldorf Hilton, London has extended its residency with The Pot Luck Club until 30th June 2026. The celebrated South African restaurant, widely praised for its bold flavours and creative cooking, first took over the hotel’s flagship restaurant, Homage, in August 2025 for a three-month pop-up. Now, Londoners can continue to enjoy a taste of one of South Africa’s most sought-after dining experiences until next summer.
The Pot Luck Club is the brainchild of British-born chef Luke Dale Roberts, one of South Africa’s most celebrated culinary talents. Perched atop Cape Town’s Old Biscuit Mill, the restaurant draws nightly crowds with its eclectic, flavour-driven menu and sweeping skyline views. Centred around Luke’s globally inspired small plates, the menu continues to evolve, offering guests a fresh taste of the season with new winter and festive creations. On the London pop-up menu, highlights include duck samosas subtly spiced with five spice, fallow deer served with a rich mole jus, and guinea fowl complemented by cranberry. To finish, a rooibos-poached quince dessert provides a fragrant and elegant finale. Each dish celebrates the depth of the season and the abundance of fine British produce.
The cocktail programme is just as bold, developed in collaboration with The Waldorf Hilton, London’s very own mixologist. Served in The Wild Monkey bar, the drinks list features house-infused cordials, seasonal ingredients and flavours that echo the energy of the kitchen. Signature cocktails go from the bold Thai Green Curry Martini to sharp but sweet Passion Fruit Sake, or the balanced Raspberry Fig Cooler. The dedicated snacks bar menu, first introduced in August, has been curated by Luke Dale Roberts to complement the cocktails. The bar runs Wednesday – Saturday from 4pm until late.
“We’re delighted to extend The Pot Luck Club’s residency at The Waldorf Hilton, London until June 2026,” says Guy Hilton, General Manager. “The response has been phenomenal, and it’s been exciting to see the restaurant bring such fresh energy to the hotel. This extension means even more guests will have the chance to experience it.”
“We’ve talked about bringing The Pot Luck Club to London for years, and it was always the city that made sense,” says chef Luke Dale Roberts. “As a Brit, it’s so meaningful to have been welcomed back in such a positive way, and it’s been a real pleasure doing this with a London landmark hotel, such as The Waldorf Hilton, London. I feel so lucky to share what we’ve built in Cape Town with a new audience.”
Dinner is served daily from 5pm, with the final sitting at 10pm. Alongside the à la carte offering, guests may choose the convenient Lite prix fixe, ideal for those dining before a performance in the neighbouring Theatreland, or indulge in the full Loaded tasting menu. Whether visiting ahead of a show or staying for the evening, this is one residency not to be missed.
Reservations are essential.
