Who says Christmas lunch has to be all about the roast? Swop the marathon of meats for roots and go big on flavour with a plant-based spread that’s every bit as indulgent, flavourful, colourful and festive.

Wayne Blake, Group Food & Beverage Manager at ANEW Hotels & Resorts teamed up with vegan colleague Jed Barendse, Junior Content Creator, to create a show-stopping Christmas menu that serves six and is every bit as festive.

Another year is winding down, and most teams are running on fumes while juggling final targets, client handovers, and the mental marathon ahead of December. In the middle of all that noise, one question quietly lingers: What will your people remember about 2025? Chances are, that it won’t be a spreadsheet or a target made, but it will be the moment they felt appreciated and when someone raised a glass and said, “We did it.”

Year-end celebrations often get squeezed, or missed entirely, when budgets are tight and the pressure to make them perfect can feel overwhelming. But these moments and celebrations are significant, offering a chance to acknowledge the effort, determination, and teamwork that carried the year. You do not need extravagance to make it meaningful. However, what counts is a space that feels right, an atmosphere that creates camaraderie, and the genuine feeling of truly being valued.
