A celebration of South African design, heritage and flavour. 🇿🇦

For the launch of the Thebe Magugu x Woolworths clothing collaboration at Mall of Africa, we catered for 70 guests, including influencers and media, with a menu of heritage-inspired canapés and portable dining.

A beautiful afternoon bringing fashion and food together, with a proudly South African thread running through it all.

A beautifully curated harvest station, created for a corporate event at The Polo Room. 🌿✨

A celebration of fresh, seasonal flavours presented with thoughtful styling and effortless elegance, proving that corporate catering can be just as memorable as the occasion itself.

From the carefully selected ingredients to the final presentation, every detail was designed to create an inviting experience for guests.

Forty, in the garden, with a table full of good things.

Catherine’s 40th was the kind of celebration we love - a gorgeous garden setting, beautiful florals, canapés making their way around the party and a harvest table made for everyone to gather around.

A very lovely way to celebrate 40. 🥂

An intimate gathering celebrating Rosh Hashanah, hosted in the warmth of a private home. ✨

From hot-smoked salmon and pomegranate-studded salads to warm spanakopita, silky hummus and the dreamiest panna cotta to finish — every dish was thoughtfully crafted to bring flavour, beauty and a little bit of magic to the table.

Styled with fresh spring florals and served with plenty of love, it was a celebration where every detail was made to feel personal.

Spring in every arrangement 🌸

Tablescapes come alive this season with the most gorgeous spring florals — ranunculus, garden roses, hydrangea, delphinium, and tulips in every shade of pink, coral, and gold. Created for a beautiful private client's home, each centerpiece brought warmth and color to every corner of the table.

Canapés to start, breads and fresh salads shared around the table, followed by fillet tagliata and herb-crusted kingklip.

For dessert, a gelato bar with sugar cones and gelato balls nestled into the prettiest floral ice bowls.🍦🌸

Such a beautiful day, in the most beautiful setting.

A VIP rugby lunch hosted at Sir James van der Merwe for one of our corporate clients. Great food, a great crowd and a very cool moment for our chefs, who got to meet Springbok legend Bryan Habana.

A little pre-match lunch before the rugby on Saturday. 🇿🇦🏉

Green, gold and yellow across the table, rugby balls tucked into the details and a menu to get everyone well fed before kick-off.

Safe to say, we were catering for some very big Springbok fans. 💚💛
