Granny Mouse provides a proper family Christmas lunch experience this year

As we start winding down towards the end of the year, it is time to plan what kind of Christmas you’d prefer – stay at home Christmas or a getaway Christmas.

This year, why not take that well deserved break and embrace the holiday season by choosing to enjoy a special Christmas lunch celebration at Granny Mouse Country House & Spa, located a mere 1 hour and 30 minutes from Durban and a friendly neighbour of Pietermaritzburg, right in the heart of Balgowan on the Midlands Meander route.

For those choosing the ‘home away from home’ option, Culinary Artist, Theo Mannie and his team in the kitchen, have created a scrumptious 5 course Christmas lunch to be served on Wednesday December 25th. So come and celebrate with old friends, new friends and of course those wonderful people we call family!

Welcome drinks will be served on arrival at 13h00. Thereafter, guests will be seated and the Christmas celebrations will begin promptly at 13h30.

The set menu kicks off with beetroot parfait (rosemary salt and goats cheese shortbread) complemented by Vrede & Lust The Jess Rose.

Following this scrumptious entrée is smoked salmon timbal (citrus cream cheese, marinated cucumber and champagne caviar) paired with Louisville unwooded Chardonnay.

Next up is seared duck breast (herbed polenta, glazed baby carrots and Asian with orange compote) accompanied by Newton Johnson Pinot Noir.

Then there is smoked lamb (caramelized peach puree, poached baby onions, mint jus and herbed ciabatta crisp) paired with Louisvale Dominique.

Both the meat dishes can be replaced by vegetarian options.

Ending off this feast is pumpkin spice panacotta (almond crumble, chocolate Chantilly cream and pumpkin seed bark) together with Kahlua liqueur.

Lunch costs R790 per person.

For those wanting something more exclusive, Granny Mouse also have available their award winning Cellar to one group of 10 people which includes a dedicated waiter or waitress, coffee and tea included with macaroons after the 5 course meal and a gift per person upon departure- all for only R1000 per person.
