Bid farewell to 2017 with a lavish New Year’s Eve buffet. You will be spoilt for choice with an assortment of home baked estate breads served with lashings of flavour infused butter and delicious toppings, or the ultimate tuna tartare with harissa paste for starters. Salads include cured and fermented root vegetables, Caprese, Cajun roasted butternut, Niçoise, or the famous Grande Provence coronation chicken salad. 

For mains, the live action seafood station offers a selection of fresh sustainable seafood prepared with your choice of accompaniments. Meat eaters can look forward to Karoo Lamb Rogan Josh with traditional sambals, 24 hour Angus beef cheek, and slow confit duck on the bone to go with rich lamb fat roasted hassleback potatoes and rosemary infused king oyster mushrooms.

There’s plenty on offer for vegetarians, from charred corn with red cabbage, black rice pilaf with cranberries, leeks and coconut, to sweet potato and wild pumpkin dauphinoise. 

As a final indulgence to wrap up the year, the estate ice cream polar station will satisfy all your sweet cravings. Other desserts on offer include festive popcorn infused double cream mousse with lightly salted caramel or try the lemon Key lime curd pie with hazelnut meringue. If you prefer ending your food extravaganza on a more savoury note, the cheese trolley will be stacked high with French and local artisanal cheeses. The petit four selection served with coffee is pure delight with truffles of Grande Provence Shiraz,  red velvet and rose, hazelnut crusted chocolate nougat, strawberries and cream tartlets, and white chocolate ganache spheres.
