The Fire Long Table is a fab new communal dining concept giving Joburgers a chance to explore authentic farm-to-table fare cooked with the magic of fire. This exclusive multi-course food and wine experience is set at Dikeme Farms which is surrounded by the Magaliesburg mountains and boasts breathtaking views. You can expect an afternoon filled with fine foods, music, gorgeous nature feels, and a chance to connect with new people.
What’s The Fire Long Table all about?
This dining experience is finely curated to build an understanding of the farm’s ethos while elevating your senses in a setting of natural wonder. At The Fire Long Table, diners feast on organic produce harvested right at the farm to bring out the best of each ingredient. The menu is mostly prepared on open fire which connects with the heritage roots of the Cradle of Humankind.
Guests are seated at long tables where there’s an opportunity to connect and chat with new people whilst enjoying a multi-course ‘farm to table’ meal. Wines are paired by Victor Okolo, an award-winning sommelier from Cape Town.
What’s on the menu at Dikeme Farm
The special menu for the day, crafted by Head Chef Franco Buys, features a multi-course menu, prepared over open flames. Dishes include a quintessential South African Meat Board, slow braised potjie oxtail, accompanied by freshly harvested fire-roasted vegetables and a vibrant seasonal salad. Finish the experience with a smoky cheese pan and other decadent dessert options.

Is there a non- alcoholic pairing?
That’s an awful lot of smoke – starter, main and desert. Which wines/estates are paired with these delicacies?
