|---|---|---|
| Lamb spit with sides | R180 - R280 per person | Most functions, 30 - 50 guests |
| Mixed spit, lamb, chicken, beef | R230 - R360 per person | Larger, mixed crowds |

Pretoria Conditions Caterers Should Plan For
- Summer storms. Highveld afternoon thunderstorms, sometimes with hail, are common from October to March. Plan a gazebo or covered area for the spit and the buffet.
- Cold winters. Highveld winter evenings get very cold. Meat takes longer to cook and food cools fast on the buffet.
- Estates and complexes. Much of Pretoria East and Centurion is inside security estates and complexes. Check the HOA or body corporate rules on gas, open fires and noise, and register the caterer at the gate.
- Traffic. Weekday and Friday afternoon functions need extra travel time. Give the caterer a firm serving time.
- Venues out of town. Farm and wedding venues towards Cullinan, Bronkhorstspruit, Hartbeespoort and the smallholdings carry a travel charge per km.
- Peak season. November and December weekends, graduation weeks and spring wedding dates book out first.
Food Safety and Paperwork
Anyone preparing food for the public needs a Certificate of Acceptability for their food premises under the national food hygiene regulations (R638), issued by municipal environmental health. Ask each caterer for theirs. For company functions, ask for a VAT number and tax invoice, and for every booking get the deposit, balance and cancellation terms in writing.
Comparing Spit Braai Quotes
- Compare the same menu. Meat type and weight, number of sides, bread and dessert, side by side.
- Check what is included. Crockery, cutlery, buffet tables, warmers, staff and cleanup.
- Confirm staff numbers. How many braai masters, carvers and servers.
- Ask about timing. Arrival time, serving time and how long they can hold the meat.
- Check travel. Is your venue inside their free travel area?.
- Get the payment terms in writing. Deposit, balance and when each is due.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many spit braai quotes will I get?
Up to five, from caterers covering your area. You compare them yourself and appoint whoever you prefer, or nobody.
Does it cost anything to use this service?

How much does a spit braai cost in Pretoria?
Most catered spit braais cost R180 - R360 per person including sides. A lamb package for 30 guests is roughly R6,500 - R9,500.
What should I include in my request?
Your date, venue or suburb, guest numbers, the meat you prefer, any dietary needs, and if you need crockery and staff.
How many guests does one lamb feed?
An 18 - 22kg lamb feeds about 35 - 50 guests with sides.
