What People are Saying
Capitec Bank end of Year Function
“Our last year end function for the region was catered for by Cape Food Services. We decided on spitbraai served in a buffet style with various other hot dishes and a cold table of salads at an up market venue in George, Western Cape. The overall service we received from this Caterer was excellent. The food was delicious and the price was tailor made to suit our budget. We would gladly recommend them as a professional service provider.”

Moquini Coastal Estate AGM
“Ons het van Cape Foods as spyseniers gebruik gemaak tydens die jaarlikse funksie van Moquini Coastal Estate. Die kos was uit die boonste rakke en die diens uitstekend. Niks was te veel moeite nie – selfs die feit dat die funksie in die buitelig plaasgevind het waar daar geen geriewe of kragpunte is nie, was nie ‘n probleem nie. Al die gaste was vol lof vir die professionele manier wat dit aangebied is en het net komplimente gehad vir die Sjef en sy personeel. Ieder en elk het ‘n heerlike aand gehad – danksy goeie kos en goeie wyn!

Dear Sirs,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your courteous staff for the wonderful luncheon you provided to our family and guests on the occasion of our Mother’s funeral.

Cape Food Services and Solutions have been our caterers for 14 months, serving meals to folk from 60 to 96, some with no special requests and some with lists of what they can and cannot eat! On site Catering Management is very patient in trying to accommodate the varied palates of our residents. Our Frailcare and Assisted Living residents eat all their meals from the kitchen, whereas cottage folk may choose when to eat in the dining room. The most popular day is Friday when hake and chips are on the menu! And Sunday roasts are also well attended by cottage residents. The menu is varied and runs in a five week cycle, offering well prepared substantial portions of wholesome food. Bruce Gates, the owner of Cape Food Services and Solutions, makes regular visits to make sure we are satisfied with the service and to iron out any small problems which may arise from time to time. We feel well looked after in the catering department and in general our residents are more than happy with the food provided at by Cape Food Services and Solutions to Strombolis Retirement Village.

Miss Del Silva - Wedding Catering
Dear Cape Food Services
The last problem you want on the big day is trouble with the caterers. They came highly recommended by friends of ours and the team from Cape Food truly excelled and exceeded our expectations when they deliver a great menu for our wedding on Wilderness beach, South Africa. Fresh, colourful Mediterranean dishes garnished with flare and prepared with passion.
Not your average wedding Caterer.
More than exceptional actually…
Thanks Guys

Annual General Meeting
Dear Bruce,
I was most impressed by the way your staff handled the catering for the Plettenberg bay U3A AGM. They laid out the dining room beautifully; the centre table with the sandwiches and cakes could not have looked more than just -most professional and extremely stylish. The cakes carefully cut and arranged, the sandwiches and flowers all contributing to a mouth-watering tea that tasted as good as it looked. Please compliment your management and staff. It was really an outstanding effort.
Very sincerely

Food and Beverage Consultancy
During The month of May 2009 Pinnacle Point decided to evaluate the cost structure of our current Food and Beverage Division at our Mossel bay operation. The decision was to benchmark our Food and Beverage service while considering the finical costs related in outsourcing the operation. On enquiry Cape Food Services came recommended and was referred to us by another leading Golf Estate in the Garden route. After a meeting with the senior management from Cape Food, we decided to engage their services.
The report presented to us after completion was accurate, informative and decisive in its recommendations. Equipped with the facts and figures from this independent food service consultancy, Pinnacle Point was able to make informed decisions about continuing to outsource the Food and Beverage service in the Platinum and Members lounges and Half way houses or to consider returning it to an “In house” operation.
It was clear from the detailed report and the level of information contained, that Cape Food are competent and knowledgeable and have a considerable level of operational and financial knowledge of the Food and Hospitality Industry. The project was dealt with in a confidential and professional manner. Their senior consultant communicated with us and kept us a breast of developments.
The net result of this project was that we as the management of Pinnacle Point were able to maximise our guest satisfaction while delivering a better and more palatable financial result to our shareholders and management.
We can without reservation recommend this company as consultants in any Food and Beverage Related projects.

Thanks for the photos from your cocktail function in Plettenberg bay. Did you take any photos of your plated food on Saturday night at Nina and Nicholas’ wedding? If you did, I would love to see a photo or two as I forgot to take any at that point in the evening.
It was great meeting you and we really loved what you did with the lamb/Puttanesca sauce – everything was perfect and it was great that many of the guests could come back for seconds.
I hope you also have a peaceful Christmas and that you are able to take some time off to relax with your loved ones.
Keep well and thanks again for your professional services on Saturday night (and for the yummy wine!)
Best Regards

A big thank you to Bruce Gates and his team for helping to make our special day truly memorable and for the adding that personalized touch to the pre-drinks!

Mary Ryan Pre-Wedding Rehearsa
Cape Food Services catered for the main course at our son and daughter-in-law’s pre-wedding rehearsal dinner in January 2010.
The meal was a huge success with many compliments to our chef, and no left-overs to speak of!
As we were organising the meal from out of town, we were a little uncertain of the facilities at the venue.
But Bruce was so competent and organised: coming well in time to heat and prepare the dishes, and all so tasty and beautifully arranged.
It was hugely reassuring to deal with such a foodie professional.
Thanks so much for making this task so much easier for us.
