5 Must-Have Sides for Your Spit Braai in the Northern Suburbs

5 Must-Have Sides for Your Spit Braai in the Northern Suburbs The lamb may be the star, but no spit braai is complete without the right supporting cast. Over the years of catering events in Brackenfell, Bellville, and Durbanville, we’ve noticed a few side dishes that always disappear first. Here are five local favourites that consistently get guests going back for seconds. 1. Garlic Bread Soft, buttery, and a little crispy on the edges — garlic bread is practically required. It’s a crowd-pleaser, no matter the occasion. 2. Potato Bake Cheesy, creamy, and oven-baked to perfection. We often get requests for second pans of this when serving large groups in Bellville. 3.

Whether it’s a family braai in Protea Heights or a school fundraiser in Durbanville Hills, coleslaw is always welcomed....
