At De Vette Mossel Harties, Mother’s Day is not limited to a single lunch.
This year, the celebration stretches across the weekend, giving families two distinct ways to mark the occasion, each with its own flavour and pace.
Kicking things off on Saturday, 9 May at 12:00, the Surf & Turf menu offers a slightly different take on the familiar De Vette Mossel experience.
- The format remains relaxed and generous, but the menu swaps out the usual seafood and meat pots for something more indulgent. Guests can expect prawns served with two sauces alongside lamb on the spit, creating a balance between coastal and hearty favourites. Classic elements still anchor the meal, from potbrood with farm butter and jam to mussels prepared with garlic and white wine, and West Coast snoek with sweet potato. Sides and finishes keep things comforting, with rice, salads, vegetables, fruit, coffee, and koeksisters rounding out the table.
On Sunday, 10 May at 12:30, the focus shifts back to the well-loved De Vette Mossel menu, elevated for the occasion.
- Each mom is welcomed with an oyster and a glass of bubbly on arrival, setting a celebratory tone from the start. The menu follows the signature rolling buffet style, with dishes like mussels, snoek, seafood potjie, and meat potjie arriving in a steady flow. It is a format designed for lingering, where the meal unfolds gradually and conversation fills the gaps between courses.
Across both days, the emphasis stays consistent. The setting is easy-going, the portions are generous, and the experience is built around giving moms the chance to truly relax. Pricing is set at R420 per adult, with reduced rates for pensioners and children, making it accessible for families looking to celebrate together without complication.
With limited seating across the weekend, booking ahead is essential. For those who prefer options, this is a Mother’s Day that delivers. Whether it is the surf and turf twist on Saturday or the classic seafood spread on Sunday, De Vette Mossel Harties offers a simple promise: arrive hungry, stay comfortable, and let the weekend do the rest.
