From insomniacs to party-goers, doting couples, strung-out paramedics and Johannesburg's golden youth, the Pantry, a petrol station doubling as a gourmet deli, has become unmissable on the nightlife scene of South Africa's biggest city. Open 24 hours a day, the establishment which opened three years ago is a haven for revellers looking for a midnight snack to sober up after the bars and nightclubs close at 2 or 5am.
