At 1000 Hills Chef School, Sunday<\/a> lunch comes with a clear plan: gather around a table and share something worth talking about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The Classroom Caf\u00e9 platters have become a firm favourite, and it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Each board is a showcase of the skills being honed in the kitchen, from handcrafted breads to carefully prepared cured meats, house-made pickles, and flavourful preserves. It\u2019s less about a single dish and more about variety, texture, and a bit of discovery with every bite.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Guests can choose from four platter options, each with its own focus. The School Produce Platter leans into fresh, house-made elements, while the Cheese Platter offers a generous spread of cheeses paired with breads and condiments. The Kitchen Platter brings a mix of hearty, crowd-pleasing items, and the Vegan Platter ensures no one is left out, with thoughtful, plant-based selections that hold their own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Visually, the platters arrive full and inviting. Thick slices of rustic bread, golden fried bites, small bowls of chutneys and pickled vegetables, and neatly arranged cheeses and meats create a table that feels abundant without being overdone. It\u2019s the kind of spread that encourages passing plates, trying a bit of everything, and settling in for a long, easy meal.<\/p>\n

    The setting at the Classroom Caf\u00e9 adds to the experience. There\u2019s a sense that what\u2019s on the table has been made with care and intention, reflecting both learning and craftsmanship.\u00a0The caf\u00e9 is open until 4pm, making it an easy choice for a relaxed Sunday outing. Booking ahead is recommended on 031 7771566.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u21d2\u00a02 Wooton Avenue, Botha’s Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n
