80 Pieces of 100% From-Scratch South African & Global Pastry Perfection
True hospitality is about abundance, and nothing says "welcome" quite like a table filled with golden, freshly baked pastries. The Handcrafted Heritage Gathering Platter is our ultimate collection of savory finger foods. We completely reject factory-made shortcut sheets or frozen shells—every single element, from our buttery flaky pastry to the delicate spring roll wrappers and yeast-risen vetkoek, is made entirely by hand with love.
Featuring an incredible selection of 8 distinct varieties (10 pieces of each), this platter beautifully bridges the gap between classic global bakery standards and beloved South African heritage flavors. Anchored by a centerpiece of our house-made Tangy Apricot Chutney, it is a magnificent feast designed to bring people together in Montana, Pretoria.

Baker's Hosting Tip: If you are transporting this platter or serving it later in the day, pop the baked pastries (Sausage rolls, Bobotie cups, Pizza swirls, and Spanakopita) into a warm oven at 160°C for 5 to 8 minutes just before your guests arrive. This revives that "straight-from-the-bakery" crispness and fills your room with an unforgettable, comforting aroma!
