Here’s what clients who trust our taste to satisfy theirs have to say about Chefs Pantry.

Ariane Siodmiak

We chose Robert for a welcome dinner for our German clients in Cape Town, and it was a great decision. Leading up to the event, he provided excellent advice on what would work best for our specific group. His communication was always professional, and he was very patient with our requests. The food itself was delicious and the portions were generous. Overall, the service was good and contributed to a successful evening. Highly recommended!

Margaret O'Connor

Thanks to Robert & the Chef's Pantry team for light and tasty appetizers and wonderful braai meal during the December holidays. Very collaborative planning and execution. Recommend Chef's Pantry for your special event.

Merli Piers

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 Jongh

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 Sue

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 Kennedy

Highly reccoment Chef's Pantry. Robert and his team made my event effortless, and more than that, the food was freshly served and delicious. Having him and his team preparing in the kitchen made things interactive and fun.

Valencia Martin

They arrived on time, and left on time with my kitchen clean and the food was delicious and well presented. I shall use them again the next time I have a party at home.

Marizaan Beukes

We recently had the pleasure of working with Chef's Pantry for one of our weddings, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The canapés were a true highlight, with each bite bursting with flavor and expertly presented. The main dish showcased their culinary mastery and attention to detail. Their service was impeccable, with a professional and attentive staff who ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was flawless. We can't thank them enough for their outstanding food and exceptional service.
