🤎☕️

KDay Week has arrived, and we’ve got one very important job: keeping supporters properly caffeinated. ☕😎

Whether you’re cheering for the Girls in Green, the Boys in Blue, the Red & Black of Kingswood, or any of the fantastic schools taking part, we’ve got your coffee covered while you bring the gees.

Swing by one of our pop-ups for your caffeine fix:

☕ The Coat & Basher, DSG – Thursday to Saturday
☕ Belfor Terrace, St Andrew’s College – Thursday
☕ Upper Fields, St Andrew’s College – Friday & Saturday

Need something a little more substantial than coffee and adrenaline? Pop into The Barista for breakfast, lunch, and all the quick bites needed to power through a full day of sport, spirit, and sideline commentary.

To all the players: play hard.
To all the supporters: cheer loudly.
To all the referees and umpires: we’re rooting for you too.
And to everyone running on 5am starts and school spirit alone... coffee is waiting. 😉

Wishing all participating schools the very best for an unforgettable KDay Week. See you there!

Big News from the Major Fraser’s team, congratulations!!!

Major Fraser’s | Proudly Recognised Among South Africa’s Top 100 Restaurants

We are delighted to announce that we have been recognised among South Africa’s Top 100 Restaurants – a prestigious accolade that celebrates excellence, passion, and dedication within the hospitality industry.

In reflecting on this achievement, Wendy Alberts, founder of SA’s Top Restaurant Awards, shared these inspiring words:

“Your restaurants are more than just places to eat – they are gateways to connection. They are where first dates begin, anniversaries are celebrated, business deals are made, and families come together. They are places where memories are created and communities are built.”

Wendy reminded recipients that restaurants play a far greater role than simply serving food. They become gathering places, sources of comfort, centres of celebration, and pillars within their communities.

“Winning an award such as SA’s Top Restaurant Award is a testament to your hard work, passion, and dedication to excellence. It is recognition of the countless hours, challenges overcome, and experiences created for your guests.”

She encouraged award recipients to view the recognition not only as an achievement, but as a reflection of the lives they have touched, the teams they have built, and the communities they continue to nurture.

As Wendy so aptly concluded, “May this recognition be a reminder of your incredible achievement and inspire you to keep pushing boundaries, innovating, and sharing your passion with the world.”

We are honoured to be included among South Africa’s Top 100 Restaurants and extend our sincere thanks to our loyal customers, dedicated team, and supportive community who have made this recognition possible.
