Set the scene with the décor

Serve up some snacks

Kickstart the event with some of our traditional South African snacks!

We have a range of beef biltong bites to suit every taste bud, why not try our chilli bites biltong for an extra kick of spice? 

The main event

If you’re going to throw a good South African party or put on a spread for dinner guests, then a braai is an absolute must. If you don’t already know, this is a traditional South African barbeque or roast. At Susmans Biltong, we sell a variety of equipment for your braai. Including our Beer Birds, Big Green Egg kamado-style ceramic barbeque cooker, and braai accessories. With a traditional braai barbeque, leave your dinner guests amazed with the most flavoursome meal of their lives!
