The Pot Luck Club introduces the Sunday Brunch Winter Extravaganza, valid from Sunday 7th of July through to Sunday 29 September 2024, featuring a multi-course menu including West Coast oysters, a brioche with quail egg, an English muffin with lobster, a curry lamb shank taco, an open omelette redolent with smoked haddock, and many more options to choose from, as well as Bottomless Bubbles and their Bloody Mary cocktail.
“We’re thrilled to offer our loyal diners a comprehensive experience of our legendary Sunday brunch at The Pot Luck Club including all the trimmings!” says EC Jason Kosmas. “Our Sunday Brunch is always served as a set menu of 10 courses, designed to deliver a completely unique Pot Luck experience,” Kosmas elaborates. “We aim to make Sunday late mornings a delightful anticipation where guests can relax and let us take care of their culinary choices!”
Guests can simply settle in, decide between bubbles or a Bloody Mary, and indulge in Bottomless Bubbly for the winter season, featuring Boschendal’s elegant Brut and Rosé Cap Classiques. Prefer vodka? The Pot Luck Club’s Bloody Mary station is renowned in the Mother City. Featuring a secret tomato base recipe, guests are encouraged to personalise their drink with house-infused vodkas and a selection of spices and flavourings, including Worcestershire pearls, bacon swizel sticks, cucumber, and celery.
To kick off the Sunday Brunch Winter Extravaganza there is West Coast oysters, freshly shucked and dressed with Kosmas’ weekly creation. Oysters lead a succession of snack-sized courses to awaken the palate.
Following the oysters, there is buttery brioche with quail egg, porcini hollandaise, and mushroom duxelles, an English muffin with lobster, kohlrabi, peas, and cauliflower, and a curry lamb shank taco with parsnip cream and mint salsa.
Following the Snacks is Pot Luck makeover of a classic ‘Arnold Bennett’ open omelette redolent with smoked haddock. The ‘Salad’ course offers a palate-breather, with Kosmas tapping into whatever’s fresh in the markets that week.
Following the salad is a heartier main course, with Kosmas usually making duck the star of the meal. It’s another experience unique to Sunday Brunch, served family-style at the table and plated with an array of sides; from beetroot tarte tatin to roast vegetables.
“It’s about creating a homely atmosphere with a touch of something special,” Kosmas reflects. “By this stage, guests should feel like they’re enjoying a leisurely Sunday lunch – relaxing, chatting, helping themselves, and coming back for seconds. It’s laid-back.”
Brunch ends with a pre-dessert of baked goodies from the pastry kitchen before a light, often fruity dessert to cleanse the palate and draw a line under a decadent day.
“It’s a really unique way to discover and enjoy the food of The Pot Luck Club, and it’s proven hugely popular. We find this format works so well, and we put a lot of effort into creating new plates, and tweaking old favourites,” says Kosmas. “We take our time to create each dish. Some happen quite organically, others take a lot of development work. But it’s always worth it in the end.”
With fully booked tables throughout the past summer, it’s clear that locals in the know agree. Add in the tunes of a live jazz band, and you have a boisterously cheerful gathering of food enthusiasts, friends, and dedicated Pot Luck aficionados enjoying Sunday Brunch.
