Dare to be different when it comes to your Year-end function

Granny Mouse Country House & Spa invites you to experience a year-end celebration like no other. Say goodbye to the disappointments of past festive functions and elevate your Christmas experience in the enchanting Midlands.

Nestled in the heart of Balgowan on the Midlands Meander route, just 1 hour and 30 minutes from Durban and conveniently close to Pietermaritzburg, Granny Mouse Country House & Spa offers a culinary journey that promises to set the bar high this year.

Our talented culinary artists in the Mouse House kitchen have crafted a delectable three-course Christmas lunch that surpasses all expectations.

The menu options kick off with sizzling starters comprising of duck phyllo rolls (confit shredded duck, mixed with fresh coriander & peanuts, wrapped in phyllo pastry served with Asian slaw & nước chấm sauce); camembert (panko crumbed camembert served with caramelized red onion, honey roasted nuts & seeds, cinnamon & star anise syrup & toasted ciabatta) or the option of moules mariniere (classic French style mussels cooked with white wine & garlic finished with fresh cream & parsley & toasted ciabatta).

Mains are a difficult choice to choose from as all are so delicious. Butternut gnocchi (roast butternut cream, bacon, cherry tomatoes, toasted pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, caramelized red onion, red peppers, sundried tomato & Danish feta); 21-day aged 250g sirloin served with vegetables and mash; chicken schnitzel (panko crumbed chicken fillet served with vegetables & cheese sauce) or kingklip served with a choice of mash, chips or vegetables.

Ending off this feast is an alcoholic ice cream trio (homemade ice cream using festive alcohols); death by chocolate (trio chocolate mousse with espresso sorbet/granita and Brule banana) or strawberry and Pimms Eton mess (strawberry citrus Swiss roll, pavlova, Pimms whipped cream, strawberry couli & fresh strawberries).

This three-course culinary extravaganza is priced at only R460 per person, with one delightful dish per course, and includes a welcoming drink to set the festive mood.
