Royal Palm Hotel is hosting a Mother’s Day buffet at their signature restaurant Thyme @ Royal Palm, at only R220 per person on Sunday, May 13th.

Start off with a Dutch cheese soup with croutons and herbs accompanied by a variety of home baked breads.

Then take your pick of salads and starters – from roasted beetroot salad marinated in apricot chutney; coleslaw salad with crispy bacon bits; sweet corn, chilli & coriander salad; a Greek salad station as well as sweet chilli marinated mussels.

For the mains – the carvery will provide Roasted leg of lamb with garlic gravy & mint sauce and Sage and onion stuffed grilled chicken.

Other options include ginger & lemon crusted fish baked on baby marrows; beef & vegetable stir fry with noodles; baked spinach & mushroom filled pancakes topped with mozzarella cheese; a selection of seasonal vegetables in herb butter; glazed carrots with cinnamon as well as potato and leek gratin and pilaf rice.

To wrap up your lunch or dinner, try something sweet for dessert from apple strudel with vanilla sauce to chocolate and Amarula mousse; or perhaps something fruity such as a Cape fruit salad with custard or a proudly South African hot and steamy malva pudding.
