Wood fired braai catering inspired by global grilling traditions

We are a newly established, family-run food business built around a traditional South African braai, permanently installed in our catering van and fired with Namibian hardwood. Cooking over real wood allows the fire to do the work, transforming simple, high-quality ingredients into food with depth, character, and unmistakable flavour.

Our approach is rooted in time-honoured grilling cultures from around the world. Every dish is cooked over live fire, creating a natural smokiness that cannot be replicated by gas or electric grills. The result is food that feels authentic, generous, and perfectly suited to events where atmosphere matters as much as taste.

A small, flexible menu driven by flavour

Our current menu brings together bold, fire-led dishes from several grilling traditions. Expect steak served with classic Argentinian chimichurri, Moroccan-inspired spiced lamb, and buttermilk-marinated chicken infused with herbs and spices. We also serve traditional South African boerewors and a Japanese-inspired wagyu burger, all cooked directly over the braai.

While the menu is intentionally kept small, it evolves over time and can be tailored to suit your event. The versatility of the braai allows us to adapt dishes, flavours, and formats depending on the occasion, whether that’s a relaxed outdoor gathering or a larger organised event.

Fire-cooked vegetables and fresh accompaniments

Cooking over wood fire isn’t just for meat. We prepare vegetables directly over the flames, bringing out natural sweetness and depth of flavour, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy. Our dishes can be served with crusty bread, flatbreads, or wraps, alongside thoughtfully prepared sides such as salads, rice, and fries.

We prioritise fresh, carefully sourced produce and prepare many of our sauces and dressings ourselves, keeping ultra-processed ingredients to a minimum. This focus on quality and simplicity allows the flavour of the fire to remain at the centre of every plate.

Event catering with character

As a growing business, we are passionate about bringing honest, wood-fired food to events and sharing the experience of cooking over live fire with our customers. If you’re looking for catering that delivers both flavour and visual impact, our braai-based setup offers something distinctive and memorable.
