Kate George

Kate George is the founder and CEO of The Food Room and its executive chef.

She has 25 years of fine dining experience across restaurants, catering, luxury lodges, product development, retail, and online and in-person training. The Food Room brings those strands together in one service for lodges far from the nearest supplier.

The business

The Food Room

The Food Room works with small, remote luxury lodges of 12 to 24 beds, where fresh produce is hard to source, skilled chefs move on and a consultant's advice fades once they leave. Its answer is the Anywhere model: seasonal menu planning, food preparation and delivery, on-site training and ongoing online support.

We cook: seasonal, rotating menus with tailored recipes and food prep options, so the food stays consistent wherever the lodge is.

We train: a team of chefs goes to the lodge and teaches the staff to cook the dishes themselves, so the change lasts after the visit.

You serve: consulting, training, prepared food and support through the Anywhere App leave the lodge free to look after its guests.

The Food Room is based in Woodstock, Cape Town, at Unit 3 Ravenscraig Mews, 6 Ravenscraig Road. To book a free consultation, fill in the form at foodroom.co.za or phone +27 83 700 5859.
