40th Birthday Pop-Up.
A Night of Laughter, Tapas & Golden Sunsets
Last Saturday, we had the absolute honour of hosting a 40th birthday pop-up dinner, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, joyful and beautifully intentional. Our welcome drinks consisted of a refreshing lemon & thyme mix. It set the tone for an evening filled with laughter, games, and effortless conversation. Guests were greeted by our elegant grazing table before settling in for a tapas-style dining experience. We designed the menu around small plates to encourage sharing, exploring, and enjoying a little bit of everything. On the main table, we served:
- Aromatic rice
- Butter chicken
- Fish curry
- Roasted seasonal carrots
- Tzatziki
- Rosemary focaccia
- Pineapple salsa
- Pesto sauce
- And for dessert: a delicate pavlova topped with granadilla cream, and ofcourse everybody had a slice of the birthday cake.
The venue itself added to the magic. As the sun set, painting the sky in soft golds and pinks, the studio transformed into the perfect backdrop for celebration. The theme was silky black, elegant pyjamas that the guest of honour provided. The 90’s music sealed the vibe. The evening felt nostalgic, familiar, and exactly right for the moment.
It was a stunning evening in a stunning space, shared with wonderful people celebrating a beautiful milestone. Nights like these remind us why we love what we do. A special thank you to our chef assistant, Cerina, for making our evening super efficient and easy. Thank you to Petronella for allowing us and trusting us to host her party. Thank you to Tebo for always capturing thee most incredible moments during a busy service. And thank God that we get to do what we love always.
