Whether you want a laid-back spit braai at your home in Kuils River or a stylish braai buffet for a rooftop party elsewhere in Cape Town, we’ve got the firepower and flavours to make it unforgettable.
What Is a Braai?
A braai (pronounced “bry”) is more than just a barbecue — it’s a cornerstone of South African culture. It refers to both the act of grilling food over open flames and the social gathering that surrounds it.
Unlike typical outdoor cooking, braais are about community. Friends and family gather around the fire to share stories, music, and laughter while enjoying flame-grilled meats, savoury sides, and local favourites like boerewors and braai broodjies.
At Fork and Nice, our braai catering menus honour this tradition while bringing a touch of gourmet flair. Whether you’re planning a formal event or a relaxed garden party, we make it easy to enjoy this authentic experience anywhere across Cape Town and the Western Cape.
Real Flames. Real Flavour. Real Hospitality.

Questions About Our Braai Catering
Q. What is the difference between braai and spit braai?
A braai refers to grilling a variety of meats (like lamb chops, boerewors, chicken sosaties) over open flames — typically cooked to order. A spit braai, on the other hand, involves slow-roasting a whole animal, usually lamb, on a rotating spit for several hours.
Braai menus are often more diverse with multiple proteins and sides, while spit braai setups focus on the show-stopping centrepiece of flame-roasted meat, served buffet-style with accompaniments.
Both are proudly South African, but each creates a slightly different experience depending on your event style and guest preferences.
Q. Is braai native to South Africa?
Yes, braai is a deeply rooted tradition in South Africa, cutting across cultures and regions. It’s considered a symbol of unity and heritage, celebrated on National Braai Day (also known as Heritage Day) each September.
From township streets to coastal vineyards, the braai fire is a shared space — one that represents warmth, community, and the South African spirit. At Fork and Nice, we aim to honour that legacy in every fire-grilled plate we serve.
Q. Can I customise the menu?
Yes. We work closely with you to adjust flavours, sides, and dietary options. Vegan, vegetarian, halal, and gluten-free alternatives available on request.
Q. Do you provide equipment and staff?
Yes. The service staff, setup and equipment required for your event are confirmed in your quotation, based on your chosen menu, guest numbers and venue, with additional charges where applicable. Optional extras like DJs, photographers and themed decor can be added.

We cater throughout the Western Cape, including:
