Old Edwardian Society is rich in history.

In my opinion, Old Edwardian Society has had a major influence, through its members, in all aspects of South African life.

At no time in South Africa's history did Old Edwardian members make a greater contribution than during the Great war and the Second World War.

Members gave their all to do what was right.

The School, rightly, always with due decorum, remembers those who fought for what was right and made the ultimate sacrifice.

After the solemn occassion at the School, the Society's caterers, Agdervanic Caterers, have devised a wonderful menu for all those who adjourn to the Society .

Prof. Rohan Quince to speak on vagabonding in America.

Agdervanic Caterers, the Old Edwardian caterers, continues to outperform and provide outstanding meals.

Meals are available at the talk.

However, please note that the 10% discount given on food and beverages does not apply to the specials.

Important notice apropos Monday, 17 June 2019.

It was just so jolly popular...

The prego roll with chilli sauce

Agdervanic Caterers, the caterers at The Old Edwardian Society, always listens to the will of the membership.

It is therefore not surprising that the Caterers have again listened to the members' request to repeat last week's special as the specilal for 3 to 7 December 2018.

The ever popular special is a Prego Roll with Chips and Salad. The 120 gram steak is complimented  by the chilli sauce which lovingly smothers the steak.

Added by a desert of ice-cream that follows the prego roll, the meal is well worth  the amount of

The ice-cream.

R70.00 as charged for such  meal.

Of course the special does not attract the 10% discount that is generously given by Agdervanic to all Old Edwardian Society members on meals and beverages.

All those attending the Society's AGM on 3 December 2018 (starting at 18H00) are welcome to indulge themselves.

Praying for a good meal?

The prego roll with chilli sauce.

Agdervanic Caterers have done it again.

This week's special is a Prego Roll with Chips and Salad. The 120 gram steak is complimented  by the chilli sauce which lovingly smothers the steak.

Added by a desert of ice-cream that follows the prego roll, the meal is well worth  the amount of R70.00 as charged for such  meal.

Of course the special does not attract the 10% discount that is generously given by Agdervanic to all Old Edwardian Society members on meals and beverages.

Having had this prego for lunch, I strongly recommend such special to one and all.

Have it, you'll also say, you're welcome.

BY ORDER

Executive Committee - Old Edwardian Society

If you go down to the club today...

Truly scrumptious.

Although the Old Edwardian Society is having a Special General Meeting (SGM) on 29 October 2018 at 18H00 in the King's Tavern, the Society's caterers (Agdervanic Caterers) continue to deliver in spite of everything that is going on around them.

The special for the week starting 29 October 2018 ending on 2 November 2018 is a (very) healthy chicken salad.

I can honestly say that I do not know how they are making any money on it. For only R60.00 it is a fantastic meal, and even I wondered how I was going to finish - there is just so much...

The special is truly scrumptious, and I cannot wait until I have another.

Please note that the 10% discount afforded to members of food and beverages do not apply to the weekly specials.

Friday, 26 October 2018 is your last chance.

Most desireable.

Agdervanic Caterers, the Old Edwardian caterers, continues to outperform.

The weekly specials are eagerly awaited, and then devoured by Society members and their guests.

This week's special certainly was popular - and for good reason.

After all, where else can you get a Sirloin Steak, Egg, Chips and Salad, along with one drink (Castle, Castle Lite, Hansa, Black Label, glass of wine, or cold drink) for only R100.00. The meal is served with one sauce. The choice of sauce is either cheese, mushroom, or pepper.

A good price, and a good meal...

However, the special ends on 26 October 2018, so if you do not rush over to the Society, you'll miss it. Then you'll be sorry!

Please note that the 10% discount given on food and beverages does not apply to the weekly specials.

Come along and support our boys!

How beautiful does that look?

Beef Kebab (sirloin) with chips and salad.

As usual Agdervanic Caterers, at the Old Edwardian Society, for the 17th and 21st September 2018 have produced a wonderful special.

The special is none other than a Beef Kebab (sirloin) served with chips and salad for only R70.00.

The meal itself is utterly delectable.

The caterers have always done the Old Edwardian Society proud, and produce really good food for its members.

The food is good solid fare, and is not wanting, no matter how you measure it.

Not only that, but all fully-paid-up members also get a 10% discount on all food and drinks - except specials.

A welcome return.

The special for 10th to 14th September 2018 - Chicken Curry and Rice, and Sambals.

Agdervanic Caterers, the caterers that service The Old Edwardian Society, have once again outdone themselves.

For only R60.00, members are able to tuck into this week's special being Chicken Curry and Rice,  and Sambals.

Having devoured the meal on both Tuesday and Wednesday, I found the meal to be quite satisfying on both days, and find myself to be salivating at just the thought of it.

Please note that the 10% discount on all food and drinks given to all fully-paid-up members does not apply to specials.
