The legend Gerda Steyn and the “Big Dog” Rachel Beaton will be popping in for some fun and games.

We’ll also have medal engraving available on-site, giving you the chance to add your official finishing time to your medal and create a lasting reminder of your Comrades journey.

Keeping the celebrations rolling will be Matt Davies and Tim Lewis followed by Veranda Panda, bringing the perfect soundtracks to an unforgettable day filled with stories from the road, well-deserved refreshments, and plenty of post-race camaraderie.

🍔 WAXY WEDNESDAY IS HERE! 🍻

The word is out and the legend returns once again — it’s Burger Day at Waxy’s!

Messages are flying, plans are being made, and friends are gathering for one very good reason… R199 gets you two burgers, golden chips, crunchy onion rings, and two draughts. Now that’s the kind of deal worth talking about.

It’s the perfect excuse to round up the crew, settle into your favourite spot, and enjoy an evening filled with great food, cold beer, and plenty of laughs.

But be warned — tables disappear fast. Faster than a basket of onion rings when everyone says they’re “just having one.”

📍 Booking is highly recommended
📞 For lunch bookings, call 031 765 3665

So rally the troops, secure your table, and make your Wednesday one to remember.

The Irish have always had a special affection for their pubs, and while a perfectly poured pint certainly plays its part, it’s never really been about the drink alone.

An Irish pub is a place where stories are shared, friendships are forged, and laughter seems to come a little easier. It’s where familiar faces are always welcome, new faces never stay strangers for long, and a quick visit has a funny way of turning into an entire evening.

It’s the heart of a community, a meeting place for celebrations, catch-ups, and those unforgettable nights that weren’t supposed to happen. The conversations are lively, the atmosphere is warm, and there’s always room for one more at the table.

Because an Irish pub isn’t just somewhere you go for a drink — it’s somewhere you go to belong.

And yes, the pint does help.

Enjoy a Castle Tank, Double Malt or Lite draught weekdays from 4 to 6pm, for just R35.

FRIDAY NIGHT AT WAXY’S IRISH GASTRO PUB

There’s something special about a Friday evening at Waxy’s. The week is done and dusted, the pints are flowing, and the pub is ready to welcome friends old and new for a grand night of craic, laughter, and good company.

On 12 June, the mighty Ryan Mason returns by popular demand, bringing the kind of tunes that get toes tapping, glasses raised, and the whole pub singing along before the night is through. From heartfelt favourites to crowd-pleasing classics, he’ll have the place buzzing from the first note to the last.

Happy Hour runs from 16:00 – 18:00, with our After Graft Specials pouring at just R35 for Castle Double Malt and Castle Lite Draughts — the perfect way to toast the end of the working week.

Then from 18:30 – 21:30, Ryan takes the stage and the real Friday magic begins.

Expect fine pints, hearty food, roaring singalongs, and enough Irish charm to make you feel right at home. Pull up a chair, gather your crew, and settle in for a night that’s sure to be remembered long after the final round is called.

When the chill settles in and the soul’s calling out for something hearty, there’s nothing quite like a proper bowl of stew at Waxy’s Irish Gastro Pub.

Our famous Irish Stew arrives steaming hot and full of rich, comforting flavour for just R209. Tender lamb cubes are slow-cooked low and slow in a deep red wine broth, alongside hearty potatoes, sweet carrots, crisp green beans, and savoury onions, all coming together in a dish that feels like a warm Irish welcome from the very first spoonful.

It’s the sort of meal that settles the cold, fills the belly, and keeps folk lingering a little longer at the table.

So gather yourself in from the winter air and tuck into a true taste of Ireland — hearty, wholesome, and made to warm both hands and heart.

It’s Waxy Wednesday, and you know what that means — Burger Day has landed.

This week’s star is The Molly Malone: a juicy grilled chicken breast topped with avocado, crispy bacon and feta on a toasted sesame bun. Simple, fresh and downright delicious.

Round up the crew and tuck into our Waxy Wednesday Special — two burgers, chips, onion rings and two draughts for just R199. A deal this good should come with a warning.

Tables go fast, so get in early.
