Vetkoek Paleis is a South African television sitcom set in the small town of Nigel, where Frik Delport starts his own take-away business after being fired due to staff layoffs.

Before he can find him, he hires two unplanned members of staff, Worsie and Boeboe, who change his own ideas about his business.
