Spit Braai in the Helderberg — Local Know-How
The Helderberg basin — Somerset West, Strand and Gordon’s Bay — is wedding-and-estate country for us: wine-farm venues against the mountains, beachfront family homes along the Strand, and complex and guesthouse functions between. It is also our farthest regular run, about an hour from Parklands, so the travel line is quoted upfront and the chef builds the drive into the roast schedule.
Typical venues: wine-estate function venues in and above Somerset West, family homes and complexes along the Strand beachfront, and guesthouses toward Gordon’s Bay. Vendor sign-off at estates is arranged directly with the venue.
