Merli PiersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was so friendly and professional. Everything was beautifully done and made our event feel really special. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Robert. Arno De JonghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was excellent & the food devine. Since the first day of contact until before the wedding Chefs Pantry was in contact with me; assisting with menu selection to keep cost reasonable, renting of additional appliances etc. Even with a few hick-ups on our side, and onsite cooking time delayed, they managed to pull it off flawlessly. I would no doubt recommend Chefs Pantry as a service provider for any event. Windy SueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chefs Pantry was absolutely spectacular to work with! My husband and I planned our wedding from the United States and Robert was spectacular with communication. We didn’t have to worry about anything! Every single bite we tasted on our wedding day was absolute HEAVEN. During the wedding process I was getting a little overwhelmed with all the decisions I had to make and I asked Robert to pick his top 3 canapes for cocktail hour as I completely trusted his expertise and WOW did he deliver! It was absolutely delicious! His team was also phenomenal. He even assigned my husband and I a personal waiter so that we would be able to get some canapes while we were taking our photos! Everything was absolutely cooked to perfection. Hands down one of our top vendors for the day! Forever grateful we picked Chefs Pantry for our wedding caterer! We would recommend Robert and his team one-hundred times over! Sandy Lilliecrona KennedyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly reccoment Chef's Pantry.

Cape Town event Catering FAQs
What types of events do you cater for?
We handle a wide range of celebrations — from birthdays and anniversaries to private parties, garden gatherings, engagement celebrations, housewarmings, and milestone events. If it’s a moment worth celebrating, we can cater it.
Can we mix and match from your menus?
Absolutely! While we have thoughtfully curated event menus to make planning easy, you’re welcome to mix and match dishes to suit your tastes, dietary needs, or theme. It’s your celebration — we make sure the food fits perfectly.
How far in advance should we book?
For weekend events, we recommend securing your date at least 4–8 weeks in advance, as availability fills quickly — especially in season. However, if your event is coming up sooner, send us a message; we often accommodate last-minute bookings when our schedule allows.
Do you provide staff, equipment, and setup?
Yes — depending on your package, we can supply chefs, service staff, equipment, crockery, cutlery, and even buffet setups. We tailor the level of support to your event so you only pay for what you actually need.
Can you cater in any location?
Yes. We cater in homes, gardens, rooftops, wine estates, and a wide variety of venues across Cape Town and the Western Cape. If you’re unsure about your space, we’ll assess it and recommend the best setup to ensure smooth service.
