Set-up, serving & clearing included
What we cater
From an intimate family lunch to a full wedding reception, every menu is planned with you and cooked from scratch on the day.
Corporate functions
Meetings, launches, year-end lunches and staff appreciation days. Neat finger lunches, hot buffets and refreshments delivered on time, every time.
Private celebrations
Birthdays, baby showers, graduations, memorials and Sunday family gatherings — relaxed, generous spreads that let you sit down with your guests.
Signature platters
Our house platters — savoury, sweet and mixed — are the easiest way to feed a crowd. Order for collection or have them delivered to your venue.
Desserts & cakes
Koeksisters, milk tart, cheesecake cups and celebration cakes — made in our kitchen and finished on site so they arrive looking their best.
Set-up & serving
Tables dressed, food kept warm, guests looked after and everything cleared away afterwards. You host — we handle the rest.
A lounge built on good food and good company
Ivy's Catering Lounge opened its doors in 2023 in Welkom, with one simple idea: that catering should taste like it came from someone's home, but look like it belongs at the head table.
We're a small team, and we like it that way. Every booking starts with a conversation, what the occasion is, how many guests, what your family loves to eat and what your budget looks like. From there we build a menu that fits, source fresh ingredients locally, and cook it all on the day.
Whether it's a 30 person lunch or a 200 guest wedding, you get the same thing from us: honest portions, careful plating, and someone on site making sure the tables look right and the food never runs out.
"You bring the people. We'll bring the feast."

What our clients say
Families, event planners and local businesses who have trusted us with their tables.
Ivy's handled our wedding for 180 guests and not one plate went out cold. The dessert table was the first thing everyone photographed. Worth every rand.
Wedding, Welkom
We book them for our quarterly staff lunches. Always on time, always neat, and the team clears up so we can get straight back to work.
Welkom
My mother's 70th was small and personal, and they treated it like it was the biggest event of the year. The food tasted like home, only better presented.
