BaconFest is Back!

La Bottega Restaurant in Cape Town will be having it's second annual BaconFest this Saturday 5th December! Last year, from all accounts, was a roaring success, not like the F@#$ show that was the Wembly Tap

So please get down to La Bottega Restaurant in Buchanan Square. Support this sort of thing so we get more of it!

They'll be having 2 sittings. One in the afternoon and one in the evening. 150 tickets for each.
9 different dishes ranging from Pork sliders, Bacon wrapped miellies, candied Bacon, Bacon popcorn and many others!
They also have a number of craft beers on tap, so get down there. Settle in. And enjoy a day of Swine and beer!

This sounds like the sort of place I could enjoy!

Baconfest Cape Town

Baconfest Cape Town is being held on Saturday the 29th November 2014 at La Bottega Restaurant, Buchanan square 160 Sir Lowry Rd, Cape Town. The event is divided into two sittings, afternoon and evening, where you can pig out to your hearts content, on all dishes presented including 2 x 500ml Boston Lager Draught beer for the price of R250 a ticket from Webtickets.

Hopefully this will be better than the f*@k show organised in May at the Wembley Tap.

With the benefit of seeing how not to arrange a Bacon Fest I think this one could be the real deal!
Also the fact that they have limited numbers to 300 people over two seating sessions make a big difference. Sure it is limited, but it will make the experience that much better for the people who get a chance to go.

So if you are in Cape Town on the 29th November then make a plan and get to this place!
And let me know how it turns out!

Bacon Fest Cape Town - a web review

I wasn't at Bacon Fest Cape Town on Friday night, so everything I have to say below is based on what I've read in comments on the Wembley Taps Facebook page.

First, I was very upset I would not be able to attend the Cape Town Bacon Fest. It was help at The Wembley Tap in Cape Town. All the hype on their Facebook page leading up to the event looked awesome!
Tickets sold out but possibly some available at the door.
Bacon beers that would be available.
Pictures of chocolate Bacon being made.

And then the reviews afterwards.
I was first made aware of something not being quite right when I saw a comment posted on the previous Bacon Fest Cape Town post. Someone posted, basically saying what a disapointment it was.

"This was the most disappointing thing ever!! For R150 you get a paper plate with little pork on, and one small bacon bear tasting!! There is nobody who explains to you how it works!! This is a rip off!!! The advert says you get 5 taster tickets and a pork plate!! I did not get what was promised to me!! "

Cape Town Bacon Fest!

A celebration of everything Pork!
This has to be the first Bacon Fest I've heard of in this country!

So it'll be full of hipsters drinking craft beer ironically. So what...there will be Bacon and all sorts of other great goodies. And craft beer. Can't go wrong there.

It looks like it is on the 30th May 2014 at the Wembley Tap Public House in Gardens (where ever that may be - I don't know Cape Town).
So get there and be Porky!
