Soute Studio

Salt River, Cape Town

Soute is an open-plan space for workshops, cooking classes, corporate events, parties, food jams, product launches, weddings and photoshoots. The name SOUTE was inspired by the location, Salt River, and the meaning of the word in Afrikaaps, "watch out! someone's coming".

The interiors are the result of the vision of a very special person, Doreen (Jade's mama!). From its inception, Soute's aim was to provide flexible and affordable rental options for private and corporate events & entrepreneurs. For 8 years, we jammed in the wonderful Gardens & Woodstock venues and set up mobile kitchens, until SOUTE STUDIO was realised as a home away from home in August 2018.
