Pop-supping

WORDS Lisa Johnston

Joburg’s monthly Collective market has spawned a sibling in the form of a Supper Club, the second edition of which takes place on Saturday 2 November 2013 from 5pm.

As the weather heats up to summer’s dizzy sizzle, the Supper Club is a relaxed way to celebrate the weekend, interact and meet new people, and enjoy the best weather the city has to offer. It’s a great option for Joburgers who are hungry for the new forms of entertainment, far from the mall culture, that are popping up around the city.

Held on the rooftop of the now well-known 3 Desmond Street in Kramerville (read our guide to Kramerville here), expect to toast the setting sun with craft beers and bubbly before sitting down at the long rows of benches and tables, and making some new friends. What the food stalls lack in quantity, they make up for in quality and there is an excellent range from organic pulled chicken and pork paninis to cheese platters, muscles steamed in white wine and pan-fried prawns. Cupcakes and poffertjes (Dutch crumpets) are available for those with a sweet tooth.

This will be the second Supper Club, with the first pop-up dinner held in August. Happening more regularly is the Collective design pop-up, like clockwork, on the first Sunday every month. So after enjoying dinner on Saturday, make sure to come back on Sunday 3 November from 10am to 4pm to shop the latest design, decor, jewellery and fashion trends (read our interview with Collective’s project manager Catherine Corry here).
