Compare any spit braai Cape Winelands quote on three things: how far the caterer travels to reach you, whether your site is exposed to the south-easter, and whether a trailer can get near enough to where people eat. All three change by region, and across the Cape Winelands they work out as follows.
Spit braai Cape Winelands: travel, wind and access
| Distance from our base | 30-55 km — Outside the metro. Travel is quoted per kilometre and shown on the quote. |
|---|---|
| Wind exposure | The valleys are the most sheltered ground we work. Still evenings are normal, which is why the long slow cook suits a Winelands venue better than anywhere else. |
| Typical venue | Wine farms and working estates, most with a dedicated function lawn and a kitchen we can stage from. |
| Access | Farm gates and gravel approaches are the issue - we need to know the last 500 m before we commit a loaded trailer to it. |
| Areas covered | Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek, Wellington and Klapmuts |

How we work in the Cape Winelands
We arrive about three hours before you plan to eat and site the spit with the wind in mind — in the Cape Winelands that means the valleys are the most sheltered ground we work. A whole lamb goes on at 400 g a head and takes four to six hours, so the fire is lit well before anyone arrives. The chef stays with it for the whole cook, carves, serves, then packs down and takes everything away.
