From Gammon Croquettes to Cognac Tiramisu—Christmas at Cattle Baron Constantia has it All

If the idea of spending Christmas elbow-deep in dishes gives you heart palpitations, don’t worry—Cattle Baron Constantia is here to save your festive season with a Christmas Day lunch that’s all flavour, no fuss.

For just R695 per person, guests can enjoy a thoughtfully curated set menu packed with seasonal cheer and classic comfort—served with the signature quality Cattle Baron is known for.

🎄 The Festive Line-Up

The celebration starts with a crisp, golden gammon croquette amuse-bouche, a bite-sized nod to tradition that sets the tone beautifully. Then it’s on to your starter of choice, with elegant options like:

  • Smoked Salmon

  • Venison Carpaccio

  • Stuffed Mushrooms

  • Or succulent Grilled Prawns

🍖 For the Main Event:

It’s a proper Christmas roast—plated and perfected. Choose:

  • Lamb Rack Cutlet with Jus

  • Honey Glazed Gammon

  • Apricot-Glazed Deboned Chicken Thigh

These are paired with family-style sides that deserve their own round of applause:

  • Golden Potatoes with Parmesan

  • Seasonal Roast Veggies

  • Green Beans with Almonds

  • Rainbow Carrots & Balsamic Beets with Whipped Feta

  • And Savoury Rice, because it wouldn’t be a South African Christmas without it.

🍰 Leave Room for Dessert:

Choose between the Cognac Tiramisu (yes, please) or a Peppermint Crisp Sundae—because festive calories don’t count. And just when you think you’re done, a chocolate bonbon appears like a sweet little Christmas miracle.
