When it comes to conferences, every detail matters – and that includes what’s on the menu. At Hotel Verde, Africa’s greenest hotel, catering is more than functional – it’s designed to surprise, delight, and turn every break into an experience worth talking about.


Themed Tea Breaks – More Than Just Coffee

Forget standard coffee and biscuits. Our themed tea breaks refresh, inspire, and give delegates something to savour. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients, each theme combines flavour with flair.


Six delicious options:

  2. Citrus (seasonal) – orange, lime, and grapefruit in syrup cake, mousse, candied treats.

  3. Apple – cloudy apple juice, compote with yoghurt and honey, classic crumble.

  4. Mixed Fruit – tartlets, pavlova, vibrant fruit skewers.

  5. Banana – smoothies, nut muffins, banana bread, cinnamon-fried banana.

  6. Chocolate – mousse, brownies, indulgent sweets balanced with fruit.


All tea breaks include freshly brewed coffee, a selection of teas, and homemade biscuits – elevated with themed touches that leave a lasting impression.

For full-day or evening events, our three themed buffets bring global flavours, live stations, and decadent desserts:
