Dewaal Venter

Director of Culinary Services

Chef Dewaal Venter, originally from Capetown, South Africa, has worked in the food and beverage industry for over 15 years. His passion for cooking began at a young age, but his journey began as a fine dining server where he worked for several 5-star restaurants. This is where he developed his love for the quality ingredients and the presentation of dishes.

In 2004, after moving to the U.S., he was hired as a prep cook at a country club where it didn’t take long for these talents to be discovered, and he quickly moved up in the ranks to a sous chef.

Since then, Chef Venter has worked for several golf and country clubs including The Polo Club of Boca Raton and Old Westbury Golf and Country Club. He also spent a season catering for the Miami Dolphins! He believes in the farm to fork and dock dish concepts, and likes to keep food simple, enhancing with the best ingredients.

We are pleased to have Chef Dewaal Venter as our Director of Culinary Services at The Veranda Club in Boca Raton, FL!
