Chef Oliver Wing

Private Chef in Cape Town

Bringing global flavour back home to Cape Town.

After refining my craft in Portugal’s vibrant food scene, I’ve returned to the Mother City with a passion for creating unforgettable, restaurant-quality dining experiences in the comfort of your own space. My journey abroad exposed me to diverse culinary influences, techniques, and a deep appreciation for bold, balanced flavours — all of which now shape my approach to private catering.

I specialise in curated menus inspired by Asian, Indian, Mexican, and Thai cuisine — blending authenticity with a modern, elevated touch. From delicate, flavour-packed small plates to rich, aromatic mains and refined desserts, every dish is designed to take you on a journey.

Whether you’re visiting Cape Town and want a unique in-home dining experience, or hosting a special occasion, I focus on fresh ingredients, personalised menus, and seamless service — allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the moment.

Expect vibrant flavours, beautiful presentation, and a dining experience that reflects both international influence and local soul.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking for me is not only a way to express passion, joy and emotion, but an artform that allows everyone to participate.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook by have cooking in our blood, through mentors, restauranteurs and through qualification and a bit of hard work and long hours.

A cooking secret...

Keep it fresh, fun. forward thinking and most of all honest.

We booked Oliver and Laura for a friends reunion at a large house in Porto that we had rented for the weekend. We chose a Portuguese menu to be served family style for a diverse group including a vegetarian. Oliver, Laura and I agreed the menu well in advance and stayed in touch as the night grew closer. On the night itself, they arrived in good time, helped us set the table and then prepared the meal. They then served up an incredible feast of dishes, many with an individual twist, all well explained as we went along. The food was impressive and plentiful! All the while, Oliver and Laura were engaging and appropriately attentive. They cleared everything away brilliantly. We would certainly use them again and I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you Oliver and Laura!

My 9 friends and I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our 50th birthdays with a private culinary experience curated by Chef Oliver and Laura. From start to finish, it was nothing short of exceptional. The communication before we arrived in Portugal reassured me that we had chosen the right chef. Chef Oliver and Laura proposed the perfect menu and acknowledged the dietary restrictions within our party, ensuring everyone enjoyed delicious food. Every course was beautifully presented, bursting with flavour and perfectly tailored to our group of ten. Chef Oliver and Laura not only created a meal but also an unforgettable evening filled with laughter, connection, and exquisite food. The service was warm, professional, and seamless--allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. And they left the kitchen at our Airbnb spotless!!! This was more than just dinner; it was an experience we will always treasure. Highly recommend Chef Oliver and Laura for anyone looking to elevate a special occasion.

Merci à Olivier et Laura ! Grave à vous nous avons passé une excellente soirée. Le repas était bien présenter, bon et copieux. Ils ont été très professionnel de début jusqu’à la fin. Et on été d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle. Je recommande à 100% !!

Our chefs really went the extra mile to create our menu before the event and as soon as they arrived on the day they started making the place smell delicious. They were friendly and chatted to any guests who made their way to the kitchen. Once the service started the food was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. Our guests were amazed at the flavours and variety of dishes. Everyone at the table couldn't not decide on a favourite and cheered when each dish was brought out. When our dessert finally came, a special request from us our chefs had spent time perfecting, it was perfect. Our chefs left our guests and kitchen in top condition and bid us all goodnight to a round of applause. Make no mistake, Oliver and Laura are the best option out there, they made our evening perfect, even including the children in the cake decoration. I would hire them again and hope I get to.

Oliver & Laura were absolutely great. We used them for a private chef one night as part of a stag party. They were very accommodating of a few dietary requirements in the group and went above and beyond to ensure those people had plenty of options. We opted for a Portuguese Tapas menu. The food was brilliant and there was so much variety. Everyone was full to the brim. Really nice people. I’d highly recommend

Wow, what can we say?! Oliver and Laura were incredible! From their communication from before we booked to their communication after the booking - they were so attentive. We were a group of 8 who Oliver and Laura fed DELICIOUS food. We had a Portuguese feast on the first night which was fantastic and then a Seafood BBQ Bonanza on the second night which may have been the star of the show! Everyone had different favourite dishes which shows how good everything truly was! The catered really well to some of our dietary requirements and flavour was never compromised. I'd recommend them a million times over!

Highly recommend Oliver and Laura. They can work within the any personal or kitchen limits that you throw their way to create an amazing meal. They were great company as well!

Wonderful and engaging chefs, delicious dinner, and incredible clean up. They went out of their way to ensure I loved the menu and were very accommodating for one of the eight guests who is a vegan. The absolutely delicious vegan chocolate cake with sparklers for my birthday took it over the top! Don't hesitate to book this incredible duo!

Oliver and Laura were incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work with in planning our menu for a dinner at our vacation villa in Ericeira. On the day of, they were extremely prompt and cooking commenced right away. The food was amazing / fresh seafood… mussels, calamari, fish, shrimp… all accompanied by incredibly thoughtful and fresh side dishes and salads. The meal was a 10/10 and our group loved the whole experience! I definitely recommend Oliver and Laura for your private event or meal!

Oliver and Laura were brilliant from start to finish. They were engaging in the lead up to the event, ensuring they were well prepared. When they arrived, they got to work in the kitchen and we barely noticed they were there. They encouraged us to enjoy our appetisers by the pool where we were still enjoying the sun, and then waited until we said we were ready to move inside for the rest of the dishes. They explained each dish, and ensured there was plenty to go around. After the meal - they cleaned up promptly and without a fuss. They took pictures and videos of the group throughout, to share with us, which was also really special as it can be hard to capture the full group when there are so many. We would recommend them to absolutely anyone <3 thank you!

Oliver and Laura were amazing chefs. They were right on time, with all the equipment needed. They setup the tables, served the food in a nice manner. They even explained the story behind each dish , which all tasted very good. Cleaning after wards was super fast and professional, the kitchen was as new! I would definitely recommend to work with them, as it was a truly exceptional experience

Ótima experiência. Recomendo
