How We Braai (Technique That Makes the Difference)

  • Slow roast on a spit — low, even heat renders fat and locks in flavour
  • Marinade & basting — garlic-herb marinade; frequent basting for a glossy finish
  • Rest & carve — we rest the roast, then carve at a carving station for tender slices
  • Food-safe service — hot-holding in chafing trays; service temps logged from roast to plate
