We cater across Kariega (Uitenhage), Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), and the surrounding Eastern Cape.
Do you still cater in Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage?
Yes. Gqeberha was formerly known as Port Elizabeth, and Kariega was formerly known as Uitenhage — we cater throughout both areas under their new and original names.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Yes. We focus on bigger gatherings and require a minimum of 40 guests to deliver the full on-site Asado experience.
What types of events do you cater?
Corporate and year-end functions, birthdays and milestone celebrations, family gatherings, and other large events. See our corporate & year-end function catering and birthday catering pages for more detail.
What’s on the menu and what does it cost?
Lamb on the spit with 2 side dishes of your choice is R180 per person. Lamb and grilled chicken with 2 sides is R225 per person. Home-made malva pudding, or ice cream with chocolate and salted caramel sauce, is R50 per person. See the full menu for all our side dish options.
Do you use budget ingredients to keep costs down?
No. We don’t cut corners to cut costs — we prioritise premium, local ingredients over budget alternatives because your event deserves the best. We compete on the plate, not on price.
What’s included in the price?
Our team brings the fire, the spit, and full on-site setup so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Message us with your guest count and venue for a detailed quote covering your specific event.
What makes an Asado different from a normal spitbraai or buffet?
The Asado method was brought to South Africa from Argentina by our grandparents, Pedro and Matilde. It’s a slow-roasting, open-fire technique that turns cooking into part of the entertainment — our family holds the record for the most lambs prepared at once, fifty, at the Montagu Wine Festival.
