Description
The Kalk Bay Theatre is a 72-seater theatre/restaurant located on at 52 Main Road, Kalk Bay in the old Kalk Bay DR church, built in 1876 and is a heritage protected building. The building has been lovingly converted into an intimate theatre with the restaurant on the upper floor. KBT offers a unique night of entertainment with dinner, theatre and quality time with friends all under the same roof. Patrons arrive at 7pm and are directed upstairs to the restaurant. The open-plan restaurant has been designed to give the customer a feel of eating in a warm, family kitchen. The wooden tables and chairs are set around a gallery, allowing customers to look down onto the stage below. The dinner consists of a three-course meal. The starter and the main course are served before the show and the desert and coffee is served after the performance. Patrons make their way down to the theatre after their main meal and return to the restaurant for their desert and coffee. The menu changes with each production and is loosely linked to the theme of the show. The starter is suitable for vegetarians and there is a choice of three or four dishes the main meal which includes a vegetarian meal. Other specific dietary requirements will, wherever possible, be catered for provided advance warning is given. KBT is not licensed at present so please bring your wine – no corkage is charged.
