Corporate catering in Cape Town.
Launches, conferences, year-end functions and client evenings. One team handles the food, the floor and the timing, and you get one clean invoice.
Every kind of work event. One team.
We cook in our own kitchen in Epping, deliver in our own trucks and run the room on the day. You brief us once.
Product launches
Passed canapés and bowl food that keep a room moving while the brand does the talking.
Conferences

Date, guests, venue and budget. Within a working day you get a menu built around the event and an itemised quote.
Taste it first
Come to our tasting room in Epping and eat the actual menu before you sign off.
We build everything
Our kitchen preps, our warehouse packs and our crew loads. Staff, equipment and timing come from one team.
On the day
We arrive early, run the floor and strike the room afterwards. You get to be a guest at your own event.
2,000 events in. Still obsessive.
“They didn't just serve food… they served energy.”
We used Velvet Effect for our office launch and it was the best decision ever! And the food? 10/10. Fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented.
“Having a supplier you can genuinely rely on makes all the difference.”
The food was exceptional, the presentation was beautiful, and their team brought such a calm, positive and solution-focused attitude to the entire experience.
No surprises on the invoice.
