8. We love the festive season: Our Christmas and New Year’s menus are designed to bring people together over delicious food, great wine and, of course, that stunning view of the Franschhoek valley. These are always special days at La Petite Ferme, and we love sharing them with our guests.
9. We are a family, devoted to each person’s growth: Most of the staff stay for years on end – some were even born here! Take, for example, Avron Williams. His mother worked here, he was born here, and he started work here as a kitchen helper, growing in his career to become our accomplished assistant restaurant manager. People like Avron are why our guests trust that they will have a top-notch experience, with superb and sincere service.
10. The creative brilliance of Head Chef Lance Peters: With a background in jazz and gospel music, Lance brings artistic panache to his ‘fusion with flair’ style, blending South African and Western flavours into bold, imaginative dishes. Inspired by his late grandmother and enriched by international experience in Miami, Lance embodies resilience, passion and innovation. His philosophy of self-discovery and teamwork not only elevates the dining experience but also inspires his team to continually grow.
