FESTIVE FORAGE AND FEAST CELEBRATIONS
ALL ABOARD!
Amidst the merry cheer and holiday spirit, Chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen and his team hosted two unforgettable events with Checkers that truly embodied celebration, luxury, and world-class cuisine. From the serene lavender fields of Franschhoek to the lively atmosphere of Johannesburg, both occasions highlighted the magic of the festive season.
JAN Franschhoek – 2 December
We were excited to present the limited-edition festive range from Forage and Feast. Guests were treated to a series of decadent culinary masterpieces, expertly paired with an exquisite setting at the Veepos on La Motte Wine Estate. Set amidst Franschhoek’s stunning lavender fields, the atmosphere was both serene and vibrant, making it a truly enchanting evening of indulgence and camaraderie.
The Houghton 1938 – 6 December
We welcomed our guests at The Houghton 1938 in Johannesburg, where the celebration continued with Forage and Feast. This exceptional event was a delightful journey of flavours, designed to spark joy and ignite the senses. Every detail, from the décor to the carefully curated menu, exuded holiday cheer and sophistication. Guests were immersed in an atmosphere of merriment and opulence, embracing the “All Aboard” theme inspired by the Forage and Feast festive campaign.
These events were resounding successes and showcased the exceptional quality and creativity that JAN and Forage and Feast are recognized for. Guests enjoyed an array of gourmet dishes featuring the limited-edition festive range, artfully prepared and beautifully presented, leaving a lasting impression. The vibrant atmosphere was enhanced by engaging discussions and the warmth of community among guests.
As we take time to reflect on these memorable gatherings, filled with laughter and unforgettable moments, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for the exceptional experiences that await us in the coming year and even more unforgettable occasions that celebrate the spirit of culinary excellence and connection.
