The Waldorf Hilton London is opening its doors to one of Cape Town’s most influential restaurants as The Pot Luck Club takes over the hotel’s flagship dining room, Homage, for a three-month residency.

The Pot Luck Club is the brainchild of British-born chef Luke Dale Roberts. Perched at the top of Cape Town’s Old Biscuit Mill, the restaurant draws crowds for its eclectic, flavour-led menu and skyline views. Roberts and his Cape Town operations team will personally oversee the London launch, with Sous Chef Rachel Maroun staying on to lead the team during the residency.

Here, the menu is built around globally inspired small plates: smoked beef fillet with truffle café au lait sauce; springbok tataki with mandarin gastrique; and Cape Malay-spiced vegetarian dishes, all underpinned by a celebration of British produce and seasonal ingredients.

The cocktail programme is developed in collaboration with The Waldorf’s bar team and led by Head Bartender Abby Long. Served in The Wild Monkey bar, the drinks list features house-infused cordials, seasonal ingredients and flavours that echo the kitchen. For the first time, a dedicated bar snacks menu will also be introduced, curated by Roberts to complement the cocktails.

It’s not just the menu making the move. Service and setting have been carefully reworked too. The tone will echo the Cape Town original: relaxed but sharp, with a focus on precision. The dining room, meanwhile, will be reimagined to reflect The Pot Luck Club’s edge within The Waldorf’s character.

Alongside the à la carte menu, guests can choose a time-friendly Lite prix fixe or settle in for the full Loaded tasting menu.

“I’m thrilled to announce the exciting collaboration between The Pot Luck Club and The Waldorf, coming 13th August for 3 months” says Guy Hilton, Area General Manager. “This partnership is a perfect match, bringing together one of London’s landmark hotels and one of South Africa’s most celebrated restaurants. We eagerly look forward to welcoming Luke and his talented team to join forces with our food and drink heroes, as we present an innovative menu that promises to delight our guests.”

“We’ve talked about bringing The Pot Luck Club to London for years, and it was always the city that made sense,” concludes Roberts. “As a Brit, there’s something meaningful about returning in this way, partnering with one of London’s landmark hotels and sharing what we’ve built in Cape Town with a new audience. We’ve been fortunate to grow an international following at home, and this feels like the naturalxa next step.”
