Spit Braai Catering › Spit Braai in the Northern Suburbs
Spit Braai in the Northern Suburbs
Book a spit braai in the Northern Suburbs from R150 a head for lamb. We are based in the north, so Bellville, Kraaifontein, Parow, Table View and Milnerton are the shortest runs we do and the chef arrives with margin in hand rather than exactly on time. Chef-run whole lamb at R150 a head, pork R129 or chicken R116, no travel fee within 30km, with the coastal wind planned for rather than hoped away.
Suburbs we cover in detail
Three Northern Suburbs localities have their own page, because what changes about the day genuinely differs between them — whether it is a wine estate or a garden, what is behind a boom, and how much wind the ground catches.
- Spit braai Durbanville — wine-estate functions at Meerendal, Nitida and Altydgedacht, and the big mature gardens of the older suburbs.
- Spit braai Brackenfell — estate gate access arranged ahead of the date, and far enough inland that the cook is predictable year-round.
- Spit braai Kuilsriver — lower ground, steadier heat, and the halls take the bigger headcounts.
Spit braai catering across the Northern Suburbs
Spit Braai Pro is based in the Northern Suburbs, so Bellville, Kraaifontein, Parow, Table View, Milnerton and Century City are all short runs — which in practice means the chef arrives earlier and with more margin than on a Winelands booking. Lamb is R150 per person, and most of the Northern Suburbs sits inside the 30km of Durbanville where there is no travel fee.
What the Northern Suburbs actually throw at a spit
Wind, if you are anywhere near the coast
Table View, Blouberg, Milnerton and Sunningdale take the south-easter properly from October through to about March. A spit fire in an open garden there is genuinely difficult to hold at a steady temperature — it will run hot on one side and the meat cooks unevenly. On coastal bookings we plan for it: the spit goes on the lee side of the house or in a courtyard, and we bring a wind shelter rather than hoping for a calm evening.
Inland — Bellville, Kraaifontein, Parow, Brackenfell — it is markedly calmer and the cook is more predictable, though the high ground along the Tygerberg ridge still catches it.
Suburban gardens
Most Northern Suburbs private bookings are ordinary garden parties, which is the easiest version of this job — level ground, a gate wide enough to get equipment through, and a tap. If you have a paved patio and lawn, the spit goes on the lawn or paving, never on a wooden deck.
No travel fee within 30km of Durbanville. Pricing is the standard card — lamb R150, pork R129, chicken R116 per person — see spit braai prices, which also lists what actually gets served. For a firm figure, get a quote.
Hiring the spit instead
To cook it yourself, the equipment alone is R1 200–R1 500 for 24 hours plus a refundable R1 000–R1 500 deposit, with delivery from R450 — the shortest runs we do are in the Northern Suburbs — or collect it for free. See spit braai hire prices for what is and is not included.
Work out what your spit braai costs
R7 50050 guests × R150 a head for whole lamb — chef, equipment, gazebo, cooking, carving, set-up and clean-up included.
An estimate, not a quote. Minimum 25 guests. Salads (from R15 a head), extra service staff (R850 each) and cutlery and crockery (R15–R25 a head) go on top, and travel is free within 30km, then R500–R1 500 by distance. Nothing is sent until you tap through.
Every area we cook in
If your suburb, estate or complex is on this list, we cook there at the same per-head rate — R150 for lamb — and most of it sits inside the 30km of Durbanville where there is no travel fee. This is our home ground, so it is the longest list on the site.
Places people mix up
Durbanville, Bellville and Brackenfell are three separate towns, not one “Tygerberg” area. Kuils River is Northern Suburbs despite sitting on the Metro South-East boundary, and Goodwood and Parow sit between the Northern Suburbs and the Cape Flats — we list them here.
Nothing matches that. We may still cover it — send us the address and we will tell you straight away.
Suburbs and neighbourhoods
Level ground, a gate wide enough for the equipment and a tap. No travel fee within 30km, and being our home ground the chef usually arrives with the most time in hand.

Northern Suburbs questions
How much is a spit braai in Bellville?
R150 per person for a whole lamb — Bellville is a short run from our base, well inside 30km, so nothing is added for distance. Fifty guests is R7 500.
Do you cater in Kraaifontein and Parow?
Yes. Both are the same run as Bellville, inside 30km with no travel fee, and the rate is the same R150 a head for lamb. Goodwood, Monte Vista, Plattekloof and De Bron are all the same booking.
Can you cater in Table View when the wind is up?
Yes, but tell us the site is exposed when you book so we bring shelter and allow extra time. A south-easter does not stop the cook; it does change how we set up.
Do you cater wedding receptions in the Northern Suburbs?
Yes. Check with your venue about their supplier list and fire-season rules, then send us the date — see wedding catering.
How early does the chef arrive in the Northern Suburbs?
About five hours before service, same as anywhere. Being local just means less risk of a traffic problem eating into that.
