Spit Braai in Kuilsriver
Book a spit braai in Kuilsriver from R150 a head for lamb — Kuils River spelled either way, same place and same rate. A short run from our Durbanville base, so there is no travel fee and the timings need less padding than up on the ridge. Gardens, halls and sports clubs, with two carving stations once the headcount runs past about 120.
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.
Spit braai catering in Kuilsriver
Kuilsriver — or Kuils River, which is the same place and the same rate however you spell it — is one of the short runs from our Durbanville base. R150 per person covers a chef on site for the full cook, the spit and the fire, your choice of whole lamb, pork or chicken carved to order, garlic potatoes, rolls and the clear-up afterwards — that is the whole-lamb rate; pork is R129 and chicken R116.
What it costs in Kuilsriver
| Guests | Total | Meat |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | R7 500 | One whole lamb at R150 a head, about 45 generous plates |
| 60 | R7 740 | Whole pork at R129 a head feeds 50 to 60 and gives you crackling |
| 100 | R15 000 | Two lamb spits and staggered carving |
Lower ground, and less wind than the ridge
Kuilsriver sits lower and more sheltered than Durbanville up on the Tygerberg ridge, and in practice that is the one thing that genuinely changes about a cook down here: the fire holds its heat more predictably through a summer afternoon, so the timings we quote need less padding. It also gets warmer. On a February booking the sides matter more than people expect — anything mayonnaise-based goes out last and in small batches rather than standing on a table for two hours.
Zevenwacht and the estate bookings
Zevenwacht sits on the Kuilsriver side and estate functions there run to the venue's conditions rather than ours, including when an open fire may be lit. As everywhere, we ask first: a whole lamb is a five to seven hour cook, so if the fire cannot be lit before a certain hour, that decides what time your guests eat. Better settled at quote stage.
Halls, clubs and the bigger headcounts
A fair number of bookings out this way are at halls, sports clubs and church grounds rather than private gardens, and those tend to run larger — 120, 150, sometimes more. The requirement does not change much: somewhere level for the spit, a carrying distance from where the trailer can stand, and a tap. What does change is the carving, which goes to two stations so a queue of 150 does not become a forty-minute wait.

Kuilsriver questions
Is it Kuilsriver or Kuils River?
Both — they are the same place and it makes no difference to us. Most people write it as one word; the official spelling is two. Same area, same coverage, same R150 a head.
Do you charge travel to Kuilsriver?
No. It is well inside 30km of our Durbanville base, where there is no travel fee.
Can you cater at a hall rather than a house?
Yes, and a good share of what we do here is exactly that. The spit stands outside and the carving station goes wherever the flow works — tell us the venue and we will plan it around the room.
Do you cover Sarepta, Highbury and Silver Oaks?
Yes, along with the rest of the list above. Send the address if yours is not on it.
