The President Hotel has released a dedicated programme for the Christmas and New Year period, beginning with a daily seasonal afternoon tea of sweet and savoury treats.
Christmas Eve is a tour of Cape flavours, with farm-to-table produce, West Coast seafood, a shisanyama braai, Cape Malay dishes, a taste of the Winelands, Bo-Kaap sweet treats and a gelato bar. Christmas Day centres on a feast served from 1pm, with a carvery trolley, whole salt-baked salmon, oysters, oxtail potjie, Cape Malay curry and a Christmas sweet table, plus an eggnog station, a jazz trio and a kids' party in a separate venue.
Boxing Day is a relaxed poolside gathering with lamb-filled ciabatta, cheese and charcuterie, a bagel bar, build-your-own salads and picnic selections, set to a DJ. New Year's Eve is built around coastal flavours, including tableside oyster service, a sushi display, seafood and West Coast braai selections, popsicle displays and a chocolate table.
New Year's Day is a laid-back lunch of prawn skewers, grilled line fish and a build-your-own salad. The headline act has not yet been announced.
