Catering for a house full of family members on Christmas Day is often too much effort for us South Africans, who would prefer to spend their holiday time on the beach. While many restaurants are closed on Christmas Day, the good news is that The Cape Milner Hotel will be cooking up a storm for those who prefer to leave the cooking to someone else.
A delectable combination of light and traditional, hot and cold, this Christmas buffet lunch is perfect for our balmy festive season days. Plus it’s great value at R 450 per person including a glass of Môreson Miss Molly Methodé Cap Classique and festive table décor.
