“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.

Quanita B. · Office launch
“A brilliant team, exceptional service and seriously good food.”

I have had the pleasure of working with The Velvet Effect for the past three years, and they have firmly become my preferred caterer for our events.

Questions

What people ask before they book.

How much does a year-end function cost per person?
A spit braai starts at R390 a head, food stalls at R175 a head per stall, a buffet at R590 and a plated dinner at R650, all including VAT and our chefs. Waiters, transport and hiring are quoted separately.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. November and December dates are the first to go every year. Send the date and we'll tell you straight away whether it's open.
Can we have it at the office?
Yes. We cater at offices, venues and outdoors. If there is no kitchen, we bring the equipment.
Are there kids meals for a family day?
Yes. The buffet, spit braai, harvest feast and plated menus each have a kids meal for under-16s, from R110.
Can you handle dietary requirements?
Yes. Every menu has vegetarian and vegan options, and gluten-free in most categories. Tell us about allergies 14 days before, or send staff our dietaries link so each person fills in their own.
Do you run the whole event?
If you want us to. Waitrons and supervisors, crockery and glassware, styling and floor plans, load-in and strike. One team, one invoice.
