Spit Braai in Brackenfell
Book a spit braai in Brackenfell from R150 a head for lamb. Ten minutes from where the equipment is kept, so there is no travel fee and the schedule has room in it. Whole lamb, pork or chicken, carved to order by the chef who cooked it. Estate gate access is arranged ahead of the date so a trailer never arrives at an unexpecting boom.
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.

Brackenfell is ten minutes from where the equipment is kept, so it runs as a home fixture: no travel fee, no surcharge, and enough margin in the schedule that a late change to the headcount does not become your problem. R150 per person for lamb covers the chef, the spit, the meat, garlic potatoes, rolls, the carving and the clear-up.

Estate gate access is the thing to arrange early
A good share of Brackenfell sits behind a boom or a gate — Vredekloof and its extensions, Protea Heights, Protea Valley, Morgenster Heights. That matters more for a spit braai than for most catering, because we are not arriving with a car and some trays: there is a trailer, and it needs to get in, get to within carrying distance of where the fire will stand, and get back out at the end of the night. Estate access gets arranged ahead of the date, with the vehicle details sent through in advance, rather than being discovered at the boom at seven in the morning.
Bigger plots, which is the easy part
Brackenfell gardens are generally larger than the Southern Suburbs equivalent and rarely have the mature oak canopy that complicates siting a fire down that side. Three metres of level ground on grass or paving, reasonable shelter from the south-easter, and a tap within reach is the whole requirement. Most properties here have all three without anyone having to think about it.
Company functions off Brackenfell Industria
The industrial side runs a different kind of booking: a staff year-end at the premises rather than a birthday in a garden. Those need firm per-head pricing on an invoice a finance team can process and a dietary list settled in advance — both of which are on corporate and year-end function catering. The cooking is identical; the paperwork is not.

Brackenfell questions
How much is a spit braai in Brackenfell?
R150 per person for a whole lamb, from 25 guests. That is R7 500 for fifty and R15 000 for a hundred, with no travel fee. Pork is R129 a head and chicken R116.
Can you get a trailer into a security estate?
Yes, with notice. Send the estate name when you enquire and we will send the vehicle and driver details through for the gate register ahead of the date.
Do you cover Vredekloof and Protea Heights?
Yes, and Northpine, Morgenster, De Bron, Everglen, Peerless Park and the rest of the list above — all at the same rate.
How far ahead should a Brackenfell booking go in?
For a whole lamb in December, several weeks. For a normal weekend outside the festive run, a fortnight is usually comfortable. The constraint is the animal, not the diary.
