Elevated hospitality, catering and culinary experiences crafted with warmth and style.

House of Grace is a Cape Town-based hospitality and culinary brand creating memorable food experiences with warmth, creativity and style.

Founded from a shared love of food, people and meaningful connection, House of Grace brings elevated hospitality to private celebrations, corporate events, launches, gatherings and curated culinary experiences.

Our approach combines beautiful food with thoughtful presentation, generous flavours and genuine hospitality. From elegant canapés and beautifully styled harvest tables to generous buffets, bowl-style meals, chef-led experiences and bespoke menus, every offering is thoughtfully created around the occasion and the people coming together.

House of Grace is led by co-founders and Executive Chefs Sasha Leigh Small and Laurin Abrahams, whose shared passion for food, creativity and hospitality is at the heart of the brand.

Together, Sasha and Laurin bring a collective culinary vision shaped by their individual experiences, creativity and love for the craft. Their approach is rooted in creating food that is both beautifully considered and genuinely delicious — combining contemporary techniques, thoughtful presentation and bold, comforting flavours with the warmth and generosity that make people feel at home around a table.

With a shared commitment to quality, creativity and exceptional hospitality, they are passionate about developing menus and experiences that feel personal, memorable and full of character. From the first idea through to the final plate, House of Grace is driven by a desire to create food that tells a story, brings people together and leaves a lasting impression.

Their combined experience across culinary, hospitality and professional kitchen environments allows House of Grace to approach every event with both creativity and expertise, whether creating an intimate private celebration, a large-scale corporate experience or a completely bespoke culinary concept.

Our food blends contemporary techniques with familiar, comforting flavours. We believe food should feel special without losing the warmth and generosity that makes gathering around a table so meaningful.

House of Grace is also home to Jaffled by House of Grace, our artisan sourdough Jaffle concept, bringing our love of generous, comforting food into a more casual and playful format.

At House of Grace, we don’t simply cater an event. We create food experiences designed to be remembered.
