Planning a Wedding Spit Braai in the Northern Suburbs? Read This First

Weddings in the Northern Suburbs are unique. They blend Cape Town elegance with small-town warmth, and increasingly, couples are turning to spit braais as their reception meal of choice. But planning a wedding spit braai involves more than choosing a lamb and firing it up. Here’s what you need to consider before booking.

📍 Venue Coordination

Venues in places like Durbanville Hills or Brackenfell South may have restrictions on open flame or setup times. Always check if your caterer can deliver, roast, and serve within the venue’s rules. Our team is familiar with most local spots and can guide you through the setup flow.

🍽️ Menu Simplicity = Guest Happiness

Weddings are not the time to experiment. Stick to proven hits: lamb, garlic bread, potato bake, and maybe one or two fresh sides. Add dessert separately. Let the roast do the talking.

🎉 Add Some Flair

We’ve seen couples personalize their spit braai setups with signage, lighting, and even live music. For inspiration, check the Durbanville blog — it’s full of wedding case studies and visuals.

Why Spit Braai Catering Is So Popular in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs

Why Spit Braai Catering Is So Popular in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs The Northern Suburbs of Cape Town — from Brackenfell and Durbanville to Bellville and surrounds — are known for their open spaces, strong community culture, and an unmistakable love for good food. Among the many catering options out there, spit braais continue to dominate weekend events, corporate functions, and milestone celebrations.

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. Greek Salad With all that richness on the plate, a crunchy, fresh salad helps balance the meal. Cucumber, feta, olives, and tangy dressing go a long way. 4. Coleslaw Simple and reliable. Whether it’s a family braai in Protea Heights or a school fundraiser in Durbanville Hills, coleslaw is always welcomed....
