President Hotel’s Doggy High Tea returns for summer season

Tails are wagging as Cape Town’s most pampered pooches gather for an afternoon of canine cuisine.

Following the success of May’s sold-out event, the President Hotel will have a return of their Doggy High Tea on Saturday, 25 October 2025, from 2pm to 5pm.

The event features specially designed menus for both pups and parents. Canine guests will be treated to a selection including tail-wagging terrine with chicken liver and sautéed spinach and canine croquettes featuring salmon and sweet potato, while dessert promises strawberry banana bites, peanut butter pup cakes and more.

Meanwhile, human guests can indulge in an equally impressive spread featuring gourmet offerings such as vol-au-vent with roasted mebos chicken and fermented peach aioli, melanzane tartlets, and finger sandwiches with smoked trout and lemon cream cheese. The sweet selection includes citrus cheesecake, traditional buttermilk scones and decadent milk tart éclairs.

This event marks the beginning of the summer season and coincides with exciting developments at the hotel, including renovations to create a stunning new pool area that will further enhance the poolside experience for all guests.

The Doggy High Tea is priced at R300 per pooch and R350 per parent, with booking essential as spaces fill quickly.
