Winter at Millhouse is about to get very delicious…
We’ve been firing up the grill and testing some bold new dishes — think slow‑braised lamb shank puttanesca, beef cheek & shin lasagna, and a chef’s shepherd’s pie that might just steal the season.
And yes… the legends stay. Your Millhouse favourites aren’t going anywhere.
But we’re not stopping there.
Say hello to venison boboti samoosas, line fish tacos, and desserts that are basically winter hugs — crêpe suzette, banoffee pizza, and a dangerously good tiramisu.
Pair it all with Chef Gustaaf’s Collaborative Wines — the Red Blend for depth and warmth, the White Blend for brightness and balance.
New season. New flavours. Same Millhouse magic.
🔥 Launching soon…

🥩 From Shoulder to Shank — The Story of Our Confit Lamb
Slow‑braised, 24‑hour cured, and finished with patience — this is meat candy in its purest form.
Rich, glossy, and tender, the lamb shoulder transforms under time and aromatics into something unforgettable.
Paired with caponata vegetables and a bold puttanesca sauce — anchovies, capers, olives, garlic, and tomatoes — it’s rustic food elevated by intention. Every element brings balance: salty, sweet, bright, and deep.
🔥 Chef’s Note — Behind the Dish
“This lamb dish is a story that starts long before it reaches the plate. We cure the shoulder for 24 hours, then slow‑braise it until it becomes what I call meat candy. The caponata and puttanesca bring it to life — honest, slow, generous cooking built on respect for the ingredient.”
— Chef Gustaaf Boshoff
From shoulder to shank — where patience meets flavour.
