Kindled Catering is based in Pretoria, however we will gladly take our BBQ skills all across the country (and even compete internationally on a regular basis).

Why BBQ and not braai?

BBQ IS NOT BRAAI. We get that, and we couldn't agree more. In fact, BBQ IS NOT ANOTHER NAME FOR BRAAI either. BBQ is the art of low and slow smoking (on indirect heat) of generally larger and tougher cuts until it's soft and tender.

Why is BBQ so soft and tender?

The low and slow nature of the BBQ process allows naturally tough cuts of meat (pork shoulder, brisket etc) to slowly break down the connective tissue (collagen) in the meat into juicy gelatine. This intentional process results in melt-in-your-mouth tender meals.

Nobody says you have to pick BBQ over Braai though!

At Kindled Catering we specialise in all forms of open fire cooking and the bulk of our events cater for traditional braais, spitbraais and potjiekos etc. Between the 3 of us, we've participated in and won more braai competitions than we can count. If a traditional South African braai vibe is what you're looking for, then you're in the best fire-forged hands in South Africa. All we're saying is that if you haven't tried our BBQ meals yet, then you're missing out.
