Year-end function catering in Cape Town runs from R116 to R272 per person for a full spit braai. October and November are the two busiest months in the Cape Town catering year by a wide margin, so the practical advice is simple: if your function is in November, book it in September.
Year-end function catering: why September is the deadline
Demand for spit braai catering in Cape Town roughly doubles between May and November. Every caterer in the city is working the same six weeks, and the Fridays in the second half of November go first. A September booking gets you the date you actually want; a late-October enquiry gets you whatever is left.
