Savour the Tradition: Chef Brent’s Gourmet Pickled fish
A beloved Easter tradition in South Africa, pickled fish is a dish rich in history, often enjoyed on Good Friday. This year, Chef Brent, Head Chef at The Dining Room at Leeu Estates, has crafted a special pickled fish recipe for guests to savour. Bursting with flavour, this dish celebrates both heritage and culinary artistry. Want to try it at home? Click here for the recipe.
A Reimagined Hot Cross Bun by Chef Gerald van Der Walt
Of course, no Easter is complete without hot cross buns, a time-honoured treat symbolising the season’s spirit. At The Bar & Conservatory at Linthwaite House, Head Chef Gerald van der Walt has given the classic a contemporary twist with his Miso & Pineapple Hot Cross Buns. This unique flavour combination offers a delightful balance of sweet and savoury. Get the recipe here and bake them at home this Easter.
From Folklore to Fun: The Joy of the Easter Egg Hunt
The Easter egg hunt is a cherished tradition with roots tracing back to medieval Europe. Symbolising new life and the arrival of spring, the hunt for beautifully decorated eggs has long been a favourite pastime for children and adults alike.
At the Leeu Collection, we bring this tradition to life with a curated Easter experience for our guests. Guests staying at Leeu Estates can enjoy an exclusive Easter egg hunt at their private cottage, ensuring a magical experience tailored to their stay. Over at Linthwaite House, the hotel team can arrange an Easter egg hunt, and there will be some delightful Easter-specific additions to the traditional Afternoon Tea served at The Bar & Conservatory.
