Authentic Spitbraai

Traditional Cooking

Our Story

Giraffe & Spoon Catering was born from a passion for sharing authentic African culinary traditions with American celebrations. We believe food is the universal language that brings people together.

Our specialty lies in the ancient art of Spitbraai - a traditional South African cooking method that transforms meat into tender, flavorful masterpieces from a SpitBraai.

From gourmet platters and elegant canapés to lavish buffets, and braai-style BBQs, we craft menus to suit every occasion. Add indulgent dessert tables, and event equipment hire for a complete, stress-free experience.

Authentic Spitbraai

Spitbraai is a traditional South African method of cooking meat in a Spitbraai on a rotating spit. This ancient technique ensures even cooking while creating incredibly tender, flavorful results that modern cooking methods simply cannot match.

Selection & Preparation

We carefully select premium cuts of meat and prepare them with authentic South African spices and marinades.

SpitBraai Cooking

The meat is slowly roasted inside a SpitBraai, rotating continuously to ensure even cooking and that signature flavor.

Perfect Results

The result is incredibly tender, juicy meat with a beautiful caramelized exterior and rich, flavors throughout.
