Questions
About this menu.
What does the buffet need from the venue?
A buffet table big enough for your guest count, and enough serving and clearing staff. We quote the staff and can bring the table with the hiring.
Are there kids meals?
Yes. A kids meal for under-16s is R125, with a choice of one dish such as mac and cheese, crumbed chicken schnitzel or cocktail pizza.
Can we mix the proteins?
Yes. Pick your proteins from the lamb, beef, chicken, fish and vegan sections. The number depends on the package.
