Mother’s Day Lunch
Sunday, 11 May | 12h00 – 15h30
Wellington | Dunstone Country Estate

Celebrate the heart of the family with a lovingly prepared three-course feast, where Belgian refinement meets South African soul. Each dish is crafted with seasonal ingredients, including fresh produce from our very own estate — a tribute to the women who nurture us with grace and warmth.

Complimentary glass of Roots Shiraz for Mothers !
A celebratory sip of elegance, handcrafted for the queen of the day.

STARTERS
Butternut, Cinnamon & Orange Soup
A creamy and comforting soup made from homegrown butternut, delicately spiced with cinnamon and brightened with fresh orange zest — a warm embrace in every spoonful.

Or

Guava Carpaccio
Estate-grown guava, finely sliced and dressed with toasted pumpkin seeds, pickled red onion, capers, and local goat’s cheese — finished with a drizzle of golden honey. A vibrant starter with European flair and orchard freshness.

MAINS

Fillet Mignon on Sweet Patat Mash
Tender fillet of beef, perfectly seared and served atop silky sweet potato mash — made from our estate’s own sweet patats — drizzled with a rich rosemary jus and accompanied by a medley of seasonal vegetables.

Or

Grilled Salmon with White Wine Risotto
Succulent salmon grilled to perfection, served with a creamy white wine risotto and garden vegetables.

DESSERTS

Traditional Malva Pudding
A true South African classic — warm, sticky sponge pudding served with homemade custard and stewed guavas harvested from the estate. Nostalgic, rich, and irresistibly comforting.

Or

Guava Cheesecake
Smooth, tangy, and kissed with orchard sweetness — our cheesecake is layered with a guava glaze and a buttery biscuit base.
