A Touch of Spice Catering & Events

A Touch of Spice Catering & Events is a full service caterer based in Sandton, serving the greater Johannesburg area. The team specialises in making any occasion that involves food feel special, with a strong focus on braai and spit braai catering for both private and corporate gatherings. From casual summer braais to formal dinners for hundreds of guests, they manage the culinary details with care and experience.

Their braai offering covers everything from classic grills to expertly managed spit braais. As Braai Masters with over 30 years of experience in cooking and serving tender, succulent meats, they bring the flavour and the know-how to deliver a standout feast. Options extend to DIY braai packs and engaging team building braai competitions, giving hosts flexible ys to entertain. They can provide the full setup, including plates, utensils and highly trained servers, and will take care of service and cleanup so hosts can relax and enjoy their event.

Beyond the flames, A Touch of Spice is known for an extensive range of themed menus drawn from global flavours. Choices include Arabian Nights, Indian curry, Moroccan, German Beer Fest, Mexican Fiesta and Mongolian Barbecue stir fry. The Mongolian format is a social crowd pleaser, where they bring the cooker and ingredients and guests can cook on the griddle, or the chefs can step in and do it for them. For more casual affairs there are continental buffet breakfasts, buffets and box lunches, as well as party platters and finger foods. For more elaborate occasions, clients can mix and match from a broad palette of appetisers, salads, soups, mains and desserts to create a tailored menu.

Corporate catering is a core strength. The company caters for boardroom breakfasts, directors’ lunches and light meals for teams, as well as VIP hospitality for product launches and promotional events. They can provide the whole package or supply only food and beverages, depending on the brief. Their client base spans corporate offices, private companies and private individuals, and the team understands the standards required for business functions where timing, presentation and consistency matter.

Event support goes well beyond the kitchen. A Touch of Spice offers event management and consulting, a complimentary venue finding service, and the hiring of equipment. Staffing solutions include iters and bar service, ensuring professional service throughout the function. If a theme is on the cards, they will help design a menu around it, and they handle logistics from setup to breakdown so the event runs smoothly from start to finish.

Experience underpins their reliability. Executive Chef and founder Paul brings over 40 years in hospitality, including running restaurants in London and owning several successful establishments in Johannesburg, and has led A Touch of Spice for 20 years. The kitchen and operations team add depth, with seasoned professionals handling everything from cooking for intimate groups to managing functions for large crowds, as well as coordinating staffing and logistics on site.

Scale and flexibility are part of the offer. Whether it is an intimate family gathering, a wedding or engagement, a milestone birthday, an office farewell or a large corporate celebration, the team adapts to the occasion. They are equipped to deliver four course sit down dinners for hundreds, seasonal menus like picnics and barbecues, or informal platters for networking events. They primarily serve the greater Johannesburg area from their Sandton base and will travel further for large functions.

Hosts can expect fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, thoughtful planning, and a team that looks after the details so guests can enjoy the occasion.
