If ever there were a place to glide gracefully (and deliciously) into a brand new year, it’s Silver Forest in Somerset West.
Known for its serene setting, elegant ambience, and knack for turning any occasion into an indulgent ritual, Silver Forest is pulling out all the stops for NYE 2025 — and the result is a feast worthy of fireworks.
What’s on the menu?
- This year’s celebration is a lavish multi-course affair that kicks off with artisanal breads and homemade spreads, because the best parties begin with carbs. From there, guests are whisked through a culinary journey that reads like a love letter to festive flavours: butternut ravioli in sage butter, grilled Vanmei prawns with hot honey glaze, and a gorgeously assembled beef carpaccio starter that’s practically begging for a photo op.
- To keep palates refreshed between all the decadence, a passion fruit sorbet palate cleanser steps in like a tropical breeze before the main event — a showstopping rooibos-glazed lamb shank served with creamy mash and blackened tenderstem broccoli. It’s hearty, nostalgic, beautifully modern, and perfectly celebratory.
- Of course, no New Year’s Eve is complete without something sweet, and Silver Forest doesn’t disappoint. The dessert finale — dark chocolate orange mousse, chocolate dome, caramel drizzle, and hazelnut crumble — is a full-blown hallelujah moment.
Add live music by Just B Bryan, plus bagpipes at midnight (because why not start the year with dramatic flair?), and you’ve got an evening that feels like a hug from the universe.
Elegant, delicious, and designed to delight — New Year’s Eve at Silver Forest is where 2025 ends on a high note and 2026 begins in style.
