Cape Dreams News from in and around the Cape
The Claremont Cricket Club, a Constantia landmark, is the perfect place for a family-style eatery, with its spectacular views of Table Mountain across the cricket fields in Cape Town’s most prestigious leafy suburb.
The recently opened Clubhouse is set to take full advantage of this beautiful and convenient location.
With its casual atmosphere and great service, The Clubhouse is the perfect venue for unwinding with friends and family. Sports fans will enjoy gathering around the TV screens when there’s a game on or taking in live cricket action on the outside fields.
Enjoy a delicious variety of great food and drinks with wholesome choices from the menu’s seasonal mix of ingredients and flavours. In the chilly winter months you can cosy up to the indoor fireplace while indulging in options like warming soups, hearty lamb shank, flavourful coq au vin or the signature Clubhouse burger.
Leg before cricket
To complement sunny days and the spectacular scenery, dine al fresco on the wooden deck with the lighter, fresh summer menu that will be available.
Children are more than welcome at this Southern Suburbs eatery and will be entertained while parents relax and enjoy the surroundings, food and wine. They can explore the exciting and supervised play area, run freely and play sport on the cricket fields or watch videos in the movie room on miserable rainy days.
The special kids’ menu includes favourites like fish and chips, a burger, pizzas and spaghetti & meatballs, finished off with Mini Magnum or King Cone treats.
The Clubhouse is an ideal venue for hosting special and varied functions with its stylish décor, indoor-outdoor flow and canapé and menu options.
