Compare any spit braai Southern 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 Southern Suburbs they work out as follows.

How we work in the Southern Suburbs
We arrive about three hours before you plan to eat and site the spit with the wind in mind — in the Southern Suburbs that means sheltered on the table mountain side, but constantia and tokai catch the south-easter spilling over the neck in the afternoon. 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.
