Set against sweeping views of the Groot Drakenstein Mountains, the Olive Press is a beautiful setting for a long summer evening of good food, live music and dancing.
Family style plating
The whole family is welcome. Every booking will have its own table, so if you’re coming with family or friends and would like to sit together, we recommend purchasing your tickets in one booking. This allows us to group you together at the same table.
We’ll start the evening with oysters and Boschendal bubbles on arrival, alongside farm biltong, marinated olives and sea salt potato crisps.
Then settle in for a feast, with tables filled with:
- Farm-baked ciabatta, baguettes, focaccia and garlic bread, with whipped salted butter, farm hummus and spiced pumpkin dip
- Werf garden salad with shaved baby vegetables, seeds and Rozendal vinaigrette
- Baby potato salad with spring onions, boiled eggs, gherkins and mayonnaise
- Cherry tomato, feta and rocket salad with basil pesto and balsamic
- Heritage beetroot with goat’s curd, candied pecans, rocket and vinaigrette
From the fire, enjoy:
- Spit roast lamb with lemon, garlic and rosemary
- Tikka-spiced chicken kebabs with mint yoghurt
- Fire-roast miso maple cauliflower with ponzu dressing
- Seasonal linefish with lemon and soft herb butter
And for something sweet, pastéis de nata, red velvet canapé cakes, mini brownie squares, peppermint tarts, lemon meringue tartlets and Hertzoggies.
Live music by Hannah Ray will get the evening going, bringing plenty of energy as we eat, drink and celebrate together. Later, a DJ will take over and keep the party going all the way into the new year.
The cost is R1,200 per person and R600 for kids under 12.
