Potjie cook-off a roaring success at Westbrook Ski Boat Club

The potjie competition had not been held for the past two years and serves as a fundraiser for the Westbrook Ski Boat Club.

A potjie cook-off at Westbrook in support of the local ski boat club was a simmering success on Saturday.

The Flintstones team of Melt Brink, Clarice van Rooyen, Pauline van Rooyen and Aristo Nolan were strong runners with their short rib potjie.

The annual event had not been held for the past two years owing to Covid-19 restrictions.

The winning Beach Boys team – Poobal Govender and Denver Maistry impressed the judges with their Hawaiian mutton curry potjie.

It serves as a much-needed fundraiser for the club, which also raised funds this year for the Westbrook Security Initiative.

The Noisy Neighbours teammates, Craig Bergset and Lance Knoler, with their leg of lamb potjie.

Heavenly smells from oxtail to curry pots filled the air, with camaraderie to match as teams battled it out for first prize.

Making a butter chicken potjie were team Street Food’s Brad Jones, Tracey Jones, Basil Harrison and Linda Smit.

Claiming the honours were the Beach Boys, followed by Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Flintstones.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Vince Aingworth and Jan Theunissen ran a close second with their beef curry pot.

“We want to thank all the teams for supporting the initiative. The food was truly amazing at every single stand. Everyone had such an enjoyable day, especially after our two years of Covid lockdowns,” said organiser, Shaun Cothill.
