Spit Braai Northern Suburbs

Compare any spit braai Northern Suburbs quote on three things: how far the caterer travels to reach you, whether your site is exposed to the south-easter, and whether a trailer can get near enough to where people eat. All three change by region, and across the Northern Suburbs they work out as follows.

Spit braai Northern Suburbs: travel, wind and access

Distance from our base	0-15 km — No travel charge - this is our home ground.
Wind exposure	Inland and largely sheltered. The south-easter loses most of its force by the time it reaches Durbanville, so the spit rarely needs a windbreak.
Typical venue	Private homes and garden functions, with a run of golf and sports clubs.
Access	Driveways are usually wide and the braai area is at the back, so the trailer gets close and the walk with hot trays is short.
Areas covered	Durbanville, Bellville, Brackenfell, Kraaifontein, Kuils River, Parow, Goodwood and Edgemead

How we work in the Northern Suburbs

We arrive about three hours before you plan to eat and site the spit with the wind in mind — in the Northern Suburbs that means inland and largely sheltered. A whole lamb goes on at 400 g a head and takes four to six hours, so the fire is lit well before anyone arrives. The chef stays with it for the whole cook, carves, serves, then packs down and takes everything away.
