No. The spit machine and the braai barrel are included, and our chefs run them. We need space outdoors or a well-ventilated area.
Is there a vegetarian option at a spit braai?
Yes. The salads and sides have vegetarian and vegan options, and the canapés include veg and vegan samoosas.
What is the difference between the two packages?
Spit only is the lamb and three sides, with no canapés or dessert. The full package adds three canapés, an extra protein, a fourth salad and two desserts.
