ABOUT GUYALL’S

GOOD FOOD. GOOD PEOPLE. GOOD TIMES.

Guy and Lyall are qualified chefs with a shared love for food, travel and their fur babies. Inspired by the places they visit, the people they meet and the food they experience along the way, they bring these influences into their kitchen and the food they create.

Since 2017, Guyall’s Kitchen has grown into a business that reflects both their passions and their individual strengths, bringing together food, hospitality and a love for creating memorable experiences.

MEET GUY

Guy’s enthusiasm for good food began at an early age, sitting at the kitchen table baking cakes with his mother. Before long, he was working in restaurants, turning that early passion into a career.

After studying at Silwood Kitchen, one of South Africa’s leading cookery schools, Guy went on to work alongside some of the industry’s most respected chefs. His experience includes La Colombe under Luke Dale-Roberts and Scot Kirton, Terroir under Michael Broughton, and Maze under Gordon Ramsay. He also worked as a private chef to hotel mogul Sol Kerzner before becoming Head Chef at Cape Town’s iconic Café Caprice.

With a wealth of experience behind him and a desire to build something of his own, Guy ventured into entrepreneurship, catering for a variety of functions and events.

Meeting Lyall brought a new chapter, and together they built Guyall’s Kitchen into the business it is today.

MEET LYALL

After completing her culinary diploma, Lyall began her career with an internship at a leading Cape Town restaurant before heading to London to broaden her experience. There, she worked at a popular deli in Notting Hill and gained valuable insight into running a high-volume restaurant in Covent Garden.

After returning to South Africa, Lyall joined Cape Town’s iconic Café Caprice as Kitchen Manager. Over the next 10 years, she grew with the business, eventually becoming Operations Manager of Café Caprice.

During this time, she also worked as Group Manager for the Hudsons burger joint group, helping to open new stores and gaining valuable experience in restaurant operations, team management and business growth.

Her entrepreneurial journey followed, consulting to leading food establishments across Cape Town and combining her culinary background with strong operational and business skills.

As her partnership with Guy developed and their business grew, Lyall decided to bring her experience and passion together under one roof. Guyall’s Kitchen became the natural next step.

MORE THAN JUST A KITCHEN

Today, Guyall’s brings together everything Guy and Lyall love about food and hospitality. From weddings and special events to interactive dining experiences, gourmet ready meals and creative studio spaces, each part of the business offers a different way to share their passion.

At the heart of it all is a simple idea: good food brings people together.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO FEEDING YOU SOON.
