Eat, watch, talk at Freeworld Design Centre
In November 2011, renowned foodies will be introducing the screening of their all-time favourite food movie, accompanied by a meal designed to fit the movie by food artist Jacques Erasmus of Hemelhuijs at the Freeworld Design Centre in Cape Town.
This fresh concept starts at 6pm with sundowners at the roof bar, which has panoramic views of the City Bowl and is the perfect spot to wind down after work. The themed meal follows at 6.45pm and then the personalised foodie introduction and film at 8pm in the 98-seat auditorium. Guests can choose between sundowners, movie-and-meal combo, or just the movie.
