Our story
ABOUT US
PREPARING FOOD WITH HEART SINCE 2011
From London Kitchens to Cape Town Catering
Lunchworks is a small, independently owned Cape Town catering company, led by Czech chef and owner Jakub Vanek. After eight years in London as head chef in various restaurants, Jakub made Cape Town home and, in 2011, opened the doors of Lunchworks with a simple idea: honest, freshly prepared food, made with heart and served with warmth.
What began as a café and catering service in the City Bowl has grown into a dedicated corporate and event catering business. Today we work from our kitchen in Woodstock, cooking for offices, meetings and celebrations across Cape Town, and you can still find us every week at the Oranjezicht City Farm Market.
Our Journey
Our Food Philosophy
Good catering starts long before the platters arrive. We believe food for a crowd should be cooked with the same care as a meal for one.
