If Christmas were a flavor, London Road Bistro has captured it perfectly.
This year, their Christmas Buffet Menu (R650 pp) is the kind of spread that makes you want to wear stretchy pants and arrive hungry.
From classic holiday roasts to South African favourites with a festive twist, the bistro is serving up a celebration that’s all about indulgence, joy, and second helpings.
- The feast begins with starters that set the tone for a merry afternoon. Imagine a Cheese & Charcuterie Board brimming with artisan cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal fruits; a sweet-meets-tangy Grilled Beetroot & Goat’s Cheese Salad; and even silky Chicken Liver Pâté with fresh bread to mop up every last bit. Add in their rustic Bread & Whipped Butter Selection, and you’ll be wondering if you’ve peaked too soon (spoiler: you haven’t).
- Then come the mains—the kind that make Christmas feel like, well, Christmas. Honey-Glazed Roast Chicken Thighs with cranberry sauce, Traditional Glazed Gammon Ham topped with caramelised pineapple, and the fragrant, comforting Cape Malay Bobotie all make their grand appearance. If lamb is your love language, the Herb-Crusted Leg of Lamb promises to deliver pure festive joy.
- And let’s not forget the sides. Golden Rosemary & Sea Salt Baby Potatoes, caramelised Oven-Roasted Butternut, creamy Spinach, and a decadent Cauliflower & Broccoli Cheese Bake make sure your plate is as colourful as a Christmas tree.
- Dessert, of course, is the final encore—and London Road Bistro knows how to end on a sweet note. Guests can indulge in a nostalgic Peppermint Crisp Tart, a Decadent Chocolate Trifle, or a warm, boozy Cape Brandy Pudding (because what’s Christmas without a splash of brandy?).
✨ Whether you’re there for the roasts, the classics, or just the desserts, Christmas Lunch at London Road Bistro is a festive feast that feels like home—only with way fewer dishes to wash afterward.
