Women's Day Sip & Paint at The President

President Hotel

This Women's Day, Saturday, 9 August, The President Hotel is hosting an intimate afternoon of creativity, conversation and delicious treats. The afternoon begins with a welcome drink before settling into the hotel's warm, inviting Botany Café for a painting session.

The culinary experience centres around a beautifully curated high tea featuring locally sourced ingredients. Savoury highlights include delicate finger sandwiches with smoked egg mayo and truffle oil, alongside roasted chicken with tarragon aioli. The innovative potato nest topped with salmon mousse, spiced cucumber pickle and orange gel offers a contemporary twist on traditional high tea fare.

For those with a sweet tooth, the selection includes fresh buttermilk scones with Chantilly cream and strawberry jam, individual carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting, and milk tart choux puffs with cinnamon craquelin. The lime cheesecake with lime curd provides a refreshing finish to the meal.

The menu showcases the best of South African flavours while maintaining that special high tea elegance. Each item tells a story, from the locally-inspired panipuri with mebos chicken to the reimagined milk tart dessert.

At R495 per person, the experience includes the painting session, welcome drink and complete high tea service with herbal teas. The three-hour event allows plenty of time to enjoy both the food and the creative process.
