Smash burgers searing on a hot flat-top grill with flames behind

Street food catering · South Africa

FIRE, FAT.
FLAVOUR.

“COZ YOU CAN'T TRUST A SKINNY CHEF.”

Braais, weddings, year-end functions and birthday parties — cooked live on a flat-top grill and twin fryers, with 40 years of heat behind every plate.

The man at the fire

FORTY YEARS
BEHIND THE FLAME

40 YEARS OF COOKING. NOT A SINGLE SHORTCUT.

Four decades of service, function halls, wedding marquees and back-yard coals have gone into this kitchen. Timing learned by feel, seasoning learned by taste, and a stubborn refusal to send out a plate that isn't worth the wait.

The chef will tell you he has exactly two passions in this life: cooking and making love — and both are done slow, generous and with the whole heart in it.

What we cater

BRING THE PEOPLE.
WE BRING THE HEAT.

Braais

BRAAIS

Coals, smoke and basting brushes. Chops, wors and flame-kissed sides done the way the fire wants it.

Weddings

WEDDINGS

Canapés that disappear and a main course the guests still talk about at the next wedding.

Year-End Functions

YEAR-END FUNCTIONS

Live flat-top grill and twin fryers, plated fast for a hungry room. Street food, boardroom polish.

Birthday Parties

BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Smash burgers, churro bites and loud, happy people. Bring the cake, we bring everything else.
