First time doing the picnic at Groot Constantia (Simons Restaurant). Beautiful place and the weather was stunning. Room for improvement: We initially received the incorrect box but had a short wait whilst it was repacked. Dessert was disappointing, 4 tartlets of which the base had softened and become stale. The kids box looked poorly. A yoghurt cup, a cheese bun, a paper bag of chicken strips, packet of NikNaks, packet of sweets and a golden delicious apple that was brown and soft. Please take more care with presentation and contents of the kiddies box. In the cutlery box at our setting, there were dirty forks, likely used by the last guests and left back in the box. Our picnic was prepaid. We received a service fee of R84 on our drinks bill of R100. The pro's: The setting is beautiful and there are ample blankets as well as tables. Well behaved doggos are welcome. The Double box for the adults contained some great offerings (charcuterie selection on top, delicious coronation chicken and salads at the base. The price for the picnic is fantastic. Drinks are sold separately and are reasonably priced. The waitstaff are fantastic.
