WRITE YOUR OWN STORY...
The story of The Book Club Restaurant came from a holiday visit to the heart of Pringle Bay where a young couple and their two small daughters fell inlove with a small town and all the opportunity that would unfold for them.
​
You might ask why its called The Book Club, and the name came from sharing stories, sharing wine and sharing good times just as a Book Club would...

A love from food, and all things flavour...
Calvin is a chef that does not fit into a cuisine, but fits into a category of producing flavourful dishes.
​
After finishing his training at IHS school, he embarked on a journey to explore London and finding the best restaurants to fulfil his talents.
​
Working in Michelin restaurants is where he explored fine dining and food of every form. Returning from London he established himself by working as head chef in restaurants such as La Motte, Leeu Estate and Asara in Western Cape.
​
Soon after this , covid hits and a plan is made to retreat back to Durban. A light bulb moment creates and develops Pasture the restaurant. A pop up space on a beautiful farm, which sets the tone and sparks the flame to creating The Book Club Restaurant as we know and love it.

Following her heart and not her head...
​
Kelby who you will know when you meet her is the Chefs wife, and she is pretty proud of it.
​
Heading to London at a young age with very little experience, she worked in some incredible restaurants in London with some well named chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Tom Aikens who taught her most about hospitality and the feeling of always being welcomed. After a few years in London and working from the ground up she trained in all things front of house.
​
Returning from London with a small child she dived deep into travel and now uses all her knowledge to bring you the sensational feeling of a home away from home as you enter The Book Club Restaurant...
