About us
A small, dedicated family with a passion for food and service excellence.
Simply the Best was started as a part-time business by Lisa Evans and in 1999 grew into a full-time passion. Fresh from school, Lesedi, Lesego and Thabiso joined the team. We started out doing small-scale functions, mainly spit braais, and have evolved into an upmarket catering team.
Justine is the newest full-time member. Having grown up in a catering family, she always said she would never join the business. After two years of working and studying Customer Relationship Management, her passion for food and functions would not subside. She is training to be a chef and food stylist, and brings a young, vibrant touch and an exceptional flair for event management and coordination.
We are big enough to offer a highly professional service, yet small enough to offer a unique personal touch.
Intimate dinners
From a dinner for 4 to a family gathering, we bring restaurant-quality food and a personal touch to your table.
Spit braais
Where we started. Slow-roasted over coals, done properly, for relaxed outdoor functions of any size.
Full event coordination
Each function is coordinated by one person to avoid confusion. Our décor, music, florist and hiring partners handle the rest.
Our charity
Footprints: P.L.A.Y
P.L.A.Y stands for Participating in the Lives of Africa's Youth. Footprints provides previously disadvantaged children of different ages and races with a place of love and care.
- To let them experience the love, care, morals and security of family life, while being educated and taught life skills.
- To give the children a victorious attitude rather than a victim mentality.
- To give them hope in their future, and grow them into secure, well-adjusted people who can become whatever they set their hearts, minds and talents to.
