Our public workshops go ahead, rain or shine unless notified. The Glasshouse is fully sheltered from the elements. For private event, waterproof stretch tents can be hired to increase outdoor space and extend the cover of The Glasshouse.

You are welcome to book a private experience for 1 – 40 people; group numbers depend on the experience chosen. We offer a selection of different events like sit-down wild-flavour meals, full foraging experiences and seasonal cooking classes.

We are based in Cape Point, Cape Town. We are not situated in the Cape Point Nature Reserve (no entry fee required!) but on one of the smallholdings opposite the reserve just a 5 min drive from Scarborough, 20 mins away from Simonstown and 1 hour from Cape Town city centre.

We can cater for most dietary requirements including dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarians & vegans if we are informed well in advance so that we can cater accordingly (a minimum of 5 working days notice) as we cannot make menu changes on the day of event.

If you have a specific allergy, we kindly ask that you bring inhalers/epi-pens or emergency equipment that you may require as although we will avoid particular allergens during preparation, we cannot always guarantee cross-contamination where food is prepared in a kitchen which may contain said allergens.

By us:

We reserve the right to postpone your booking; this includes amongst others, dangerous weather, safety issues and unforeseen circumstances. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel, we aim to give customers as much notice as possible and will offer a refund in full or the opportunity to reschedule and rebook a future event at the same price within the next 12 months.

Private Events or Corporate Bookings

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance payable three weeks before the date of your event.

If you wish to cancel your event, the deposit is non-refundable once paid. The final balance is also non-refundable if cancellation occurs within three weeks of your event date.

If you wish to reschedule your booking to a later date, you may do so provided you give at least three weeks’ notice prior to your original event date, and the rescheduled event takes place within four months of the original date. You may reschedule your booking once only; any further changes will result in the forfeiture of your deposit.

We require five working days’ notice if you wish to increase the number of guests attending, and we will accommodate this where possible.

If you wish to reduce the number of guests attending, you must notify us at least one week in advance. If guest numbers are reduced within one week of the event, you will still be required to pay for the full number of spaces originally booked. We are unable to offer refunds for reductions in guest numbers notified within one week of the event date.

Unfortunately, we have a no pets policy as we have territorial farm dogs and farm animals free ranging on the property.

Some of our events cater for children to join their parents/guardians, but please bare in mind that these experiences are specifically tailored for adults. If you are interested in a child-focused foraging experience, we can recommend some wonderful local experiences.

To protect the natural beauty of the surroundings, we have a limited amount of parking on-site. We urge large groups to lift share, bus in or for big events when our parking is full to please park along the road, facing the correct driving direction.

Unfortunately, there is no public transport in the area. If you do Uber here, we suggest arranging a pickup time with your driver, as they are scarce in Cape Point and can take up to 40 minutes to arrive.

We handle off-site events if we have calendar availability and dependent on location logistics.

If you have an enquiry, please do send through the following details:

• Number of guests
• Location
• Proposed date
• Budget

We will respond with availability and all information.

Although Veld and Sea does not offer off-site catering services, you are welcome to get in touch with our chef, Rochelle, who will create a wild flavour inspired menu to suit your occasion.
