This Mother’s Day, De Vette Mossel Grootbrak is keeping things generous, relaxed, and full of flavour.
Set for Sunday, 10 May at 12pm, the celebration centres around what the venue does best: a rolling seafood feast that encourages guests to settle in, eat well, and let the afternoon unfold at its own pace.
The highlight is the well-loved “all you can eat” prawn offering, woven into a broader buffet that keeps dishes coming to the table.
- It starts simply, with pot bread served alongside farm butter and jam, before moving into rich, comforting plates like mussel meat with garlic and onions, and mussels steamed in white wine. From there, the menu leans into hearty coastal favourites. Guests can expect West Coast snoek with sweet potatoes, a seafood pot filled with a mix of fish, calamari, and prawn tails, and a traditional meat pot for those who want a little variety. Sides include flavoured rice, garden salad, and a creamy vegetable dish, rounding things out without overcomplicating the experience.
There are small touches that make the day feel considered. Each mom is welcomed with a mini cocktail on arrival, setting an easy, celebratory tone from the start. To finish, the table shifts to something sweeter with seasonal fruit, coffee or rooibos tea, and koeksisters.
At R440 per adult, the experience is designed to be both abundant and unhurried. It is less about a formal sitting and more about creating space for families to spend time together while the food keeps flowing.
Bookings are already filling up, which is not surprising given the mix of good food, coastal atmosphere, and a format that lets moms truly take a break. For those planning ahead, this is one lunch where the best gift might simply be arriving hungry and staying a while.
