Made for your occasion
Spitbraai catering in Pretoria
Whole A-grade lamb, slow-roasted in specialised gas-powered units, with sides planned for a relaxed outdoor gathering with family, friends or colleagues.
Catering across Pretoria, Midrand, Johannesburg & surrounding areas.
Start with the lamb, then build the table
We slow-roast whole A-grade lambs in specialised gas-powered units. Choose the rest of the meal around your guests, the setting and the way you want to serve. The braai and spit menu also includes tomahawk steaks, lamb shoulder chops, boerewors, chicken thighs and spicy chicken quarters. These are alternatives or additions to discuss, not a fixed package.
Sides that suit the gathering
Start with garlic tear-away bread and rolls, charred butter sweetcorn and sweet tomato relish. From the wider menu, consider samp or pap boules, chakalaka, roasted root vegetables and salads. Malva pudding with custard makes a warm finish; berry pavlovas are another option.
Browse starches and breads, vegetable sides, salads and desserts to suggest a combination. Vegetarian choices such as vegetable sosaties and tandoori cauliflower can be discussed alongside your guests’ other dietary needs.
Plan the space and serving time
- Location and access: send the venue and how the team can reach the serving area.
- Outdoor and covered space: describe the available space and any venue restrictions for cooking equipment.
- Timing: share the event start and intended serving time so preparation and setup can be discussed.
- Guests and menu: include expected numbers, sides, alternatives, allergies and dietary requirements.
- Service: tell us what the venue provides and discuss staffing, setup and cleanup for your event.
Enquire early, particularly for larger events and peak-season dates. Equipment placement, preparation time and weather arrangements need to be agreed for the actual venue. Halaal-friendly and other dietary requirements are discussed during planning; they are not a claim of certified halaal preparation.

Questions before you book
What should we tell you about the venue?
Send the location, details of the outdoor space, access and any covered area, together with your intended serving time. We discuss the site and equipment arrangements before agreeing the setup.
What happens if rain is forecast?
Tell us about any covered area or alternative space at the venue. Discuss weather arrangements with us during planning so that the agreed setup suits the site; do not assume every outdoor venue has a suitable backup.
How many guests does a whole lamb serve?
Share your expected headcount and the other food you would like served. We confirm quantities and the suitability of a whole-lamb menu for your gathering as part of the quotation.
