My name is Leigh, and this picture says it all: I love bubbly, my fury friends and of course – FOOD.

Hoeked Catering is my covid baby. It all started off with taking over my parents kitchen, then forcing friends and family to keep me busy by buying my ready-made meals. During this time, frozen meals became very popular due to lock-down, and I saw that there was a gap in the market in creating delicious, healthy and ethically made vegetarian and vegan meals, finding veg based food usually being an after-thought in a lot of cooking. We soon added a limited range of meat based meals, only sourcing free-range, pasture-reared meat. I’ve always had a passion and interest in sustainable and conscious living & eating, pushing for using biodegradable and recyclable packaging wherever possible.

Slowly and organically, Hoeked gained traction and grew into what it is today (with a lot of change, failures, successes, redesigning and rethinking in- between) – A catering business that specialises in Harvest Tables and Ready-Made Meals.

Today, I jump around between a few different business ventures, all food related, which keeps the creativity going and definitely keeps me on my toes!
Hoeked Catering is what I do a lot of the time, when I’m not busy with Furny’s Fine Wines & Taste Room, or The Coffee Guy, both based in Noordhoek. I develop the recipes, design the food menu, and take charge of the social media pages. Both restaurants are full family ventures (boyfriend even brave enough to join in)! I stock my frozen ready-made meals the delis – so you can stock up on these easy to heat and eat meals, but while you’re at it, join us for a glass of wine, delicious meal, or a freshly brewed cappa.

Thank you to everyone for the support to keep us going! We can’t wait for further and future growth in the many years to come! I truly love what I do, and I hope you do to!
