Date Night at Normandie’s: Dinner, Drinks and a Bit of Biltong - 15 and 29 August

Couples in Potchefstroom looking for an excuse to ditch the couch and do something more memorable than ordering in will be pleased to hear that Normandie’s at Pecanwood Lodge is hosting two Date Night events this August. The evenings promise decent food, a solid atmosphere, and, most importantly, no dishes afterwards.

Dinner With a Side of Romance

Scheduled for 15 and 29 August, Date Night at Normandie’s kicks off at 6 PM and offers a three-course dinner for two at R480 per couple. That’s less than what you’d spend on takeaway sushi and a guilt-fuelled Woolies dessert.

There’s also a welcome drink included, no word yet on whether it’s bubbly or juice, but either way, it’ll take the edge off the usual who-forgot-to-book tension.

What’s on the Plate?

For starters, you’re looking at a Deep Fried Biltong Avo Stack. Bold move. It might just settle the “is biltong appropriate for date night?” debate once and for all.

Main course options include a Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Fillet or a proper Lamb Curry. The chicken’s for those playing it safe. The curry’s for those who’ve been dating long enough to risk garlic and spice.

Dessert is listed as “a dessert to share,” which could go either way depending on your relationship. Might be romantic. Might be war.
