It is for a 90th birthday and since it is in June and getting colder, the food should be appropriate to the season. If a spit braai option will be less expensive, I would like to be quoted on that as well. We are not yet sure of the venue - either Vereeniging or Meyerton, however if cutlery, plates and tables and chairs can be included in the quote, I would appreciate it.

Hi, we're having a wedding later this year on a private farm. Therefore, we'll need catering and assistance with the function. We're having a lamb spit and would also need assistance with the spit mechanics (We'll provide the meat). Then we were thinking of approximately 4-5 side dishes and, of course, a harvest table for the guests to serve as a starter. And for Tables and chairs, I'm not too concerned with the table as long as it's a rectangle like in the image. But I would prefer a wood, natural finish for the chairs. I look forward to hearing from you! Kindest regards
