If you had to ask us to describe a South African Christmas, we’d tell you it’s a big deal! And with big deals come big fuss and big planning. With this in mind, we’ve curated the ultimate Christmas menu, from starters to dessert – which may help ease the jitters of what to prepare for loved ones.
Although it may seem as if the whole day revolves around one meal, anyone who’s hosted a Christmas party can tell you that one or two festive starters come in handy.
For a quick and easy first option, try our Chicken and Pineapple Kebab platter! Perfect for warm days, when you need light and refreshing finger food.

Our Braai Snoek is another ideal starter option (or addition) for a busy day like Christmas. It’s an easy-to-prepare appetizer that will fill guests until the main dish is ready.

When it comes to the main dish of the day, we say Festive Beef Wellington is the perfect showstopper. Give your family a taste of old-school English cuisine and the ultimate comfort meal with a perfectly roasted fillet, wrapped in pastry and all the holiday flavours!
Pro Tip: Try pairing this dish with a light side like a green salad.
