What Is Spit Braai Catering?
Spit braai catering is a caterer cooking a whole animal or a large roast on a turning steel rod over a bed of coals at the venue, then carving it and serving it with sides. A spit braai is the South African name for a spit roast. Spit Braai Feast cooks on charcoal, not gas, and a chef stays with the spit from the first coals to the last plate.
Every menu is priced per person and covers the meat, roast potatoes in garlic, fresh bread rolls, the spit machine and charcoal, a gazebo over the serving area, chafing trays, setup, clean-up and the chef. Salads, pap, dessert and crockery are priced per guest, and extra serving staff cost R850 each per event. The full card is on spit braai prices, and the spit braai calculator works out a total for your guest count.
Halaal is available on the lamb, chicken and mixed menus, with halaal meat and dedicated equipment. Spit Braai Feast is not halaal certified; halaal spit braai sets out what that covers.

How a Spit Braai Booking Works
Spit Braai Feast runs every booking in-house, from the first quote to the clean-up, in four steps:
Ask for a quote
Send the date, the area and the guest count through the form or WhatsApp 067 945 5331. The written quote shows the per-head rate and the total.
Confirm the menu
Pick the meat, add salads or dessert by the head and confirm the date. The quote lists every extra.
The chef arrives early
The chef arrives four to seven hours before you eat, depending on the meat, sets up the machine and lights the coals on site.
Carve, serve, clean up
The meat is carved at the buffet and served with the sides. The chef packs up the machine and the serving area afterwards.
A spit needs a level, open spot on lawn, paving or gravel, clear of thatch and overhanging branches. Venues and estates set their own fire rules, so the venue confirms that a charcoal fire is allowed before the date.
