A little taste of Toyota Matsuri.

One of multiple food stations running throughout the day as guests explored, experienced and enjoyed everything Toyota had on show.

Fresh food, steady service and that full-event flow that keeps guests happily fuelled from start to finish.

Behind every beautifully plated main is a team working with focus, timing and serious attention to detail.
This is the part your guests don’t always see — the plating line, the final touches, the quiet coordination and the pace that keeps service running smoothly.
For this event, every plate had to leave the pass looking polished, consistent and ready for the table.
Because great catering isn’t only about what lands in front of your guests.
It’s about everything that happens before it gets there.

Lights. Camera. Flavour. 🎬✨🍽

When the brief is "make it unforgettable," we show up and show OUT. From herb-crusted lamb chops and marinated lamb & apricot skewers to velvety mashed potato, a stunning grazing table and an indulgent dessert spread every detail was crafted with intention and love.

This is what happens when passion meets a plate. 🌸🍽️
Proud to have been part of an incredible evening. Thank you to everyone who trusted Jem Catering to bring the magic to your event.

Behind every epic buffet is an even more epic team.

From the heat of the braai to the pace of back of house, every dish, every detail, and every service moment comes together to create a seamless catering experience.

Freshly prepared. Professionally served. Ready for the pace of the Cape Epic.

Breakfast built for endurance 🚴‍♂️🔥

A breakfast buffet built for the bold at the Absa Cape Epic — packed with fresh fruit, cereals, pastries, flapjacks, and a hot breakfast spread designed to keep riders going strong.

Big on variety, big on flavour, and made to cater for every dietary requirement, because when the challenge is this tough, breakfast needs to work just as hard.

Fresh, colourful and full of flavour 🐟🥢

These salmon donburi bowls are a crowd favourite – cured salmon on sticky sushi rice, finished with sesame wonton crisps, creamy avocado, and a zingy pickled ginger salsa.

Perfect for events where you want something light, vibrant and seriously satisfying.
