Cape Town chef Leroy Halford, 34, started in the food and beverage industry as a commis chef, but now he is the head chef of a restaurant owned by a Saudi royal family.

CAPE TOWN – A South African chef is making waves as the head chef of a restaurant owned by the Saudi royal family.

He then went on to seek international experience and broaden his culinary horizons and joined Celebrity Cruises, a cruise line with its headquarters in Miami, Florida, where he worked for a year. At one point, Halford managed a staff complement of about 55 as an executive head chef, where he remained for a couple of years.

“I worked my way up the ladder. I know the industry. I know the ins and outs,” said Halford. “I’ve led big kitchen brigades and moulded countless chefs during my career so far. Halford recounted how his mom would take humble and ordinary ingredients and make big meals for her family.“I became a chef because I wanted to put smiles on other people’s faces.”Halford, who said he went to Square Hill Primary School, as well as Steenberg High School, finished his schooling career at Grassdale, because they offered travel and tourism, as well as hospitality, and that was when he knew that this was what he wanted to do for a living for the rest of his life.

“I work this hard far away from home to instil into other young people from Steenberg and the Cape Flats that it is possible to make something out of your life when you work hard, but also to inspire them as well.
