Mother’s Day has a way of sneaking up, but The Homestead is making it easy to be prepared.
On Sunday, 10 May 2026, the table is set for a lunch that leans into comfort, generosity, and a sense of togetherness that feels just right for the occasion.
The experience is built around a simple idea: let someone else handle the work while families focus on what matters. From the kitchen to the table, the menu is designed to feel like a shared moment rather than a formal affair.
- It starts gently, with a cauliflower and roast garlic soup paired with baked brie crostini. Warm, familiar, and just indulgent enough to set the tone.
- Then comes the main event. A family-style feast served to the table, encouraging guests to pass plates, compare favourites, and go back for seconds without hesitation. Think rich lamb knuckle pie wrapped in soda batter, crisp roast pork belly, and vibrant sides that balance the plate. Hasselback beetroot with amazi and fynbos salsa verde adds a local touch, while pampoenkoekkies with caramel bring a nostalgic sweetness. Seasonal greens with lemon and chive butter round things out with ease.
- Dessert keeps things classic and comforting. A tipsy tart layered with Medjool dates, a splash of KWV brandy, and custard to finish on a warm, satisfying note.
At R550 per adult and R250 per child under 10, it’s a considered offering that feels generous without being overcomplicated. The setting does the rest. Relaxed, welcoming, and built for lingering a little longer.

At The Homestead, Mother’s Day isn’t rushed or overly formal. It’s a table filled with good food, shared plates, and the kind of moments that tend to last longer than the meal itself.
