Finger Snacks

Out 'n About Catering is a Western Cape catering specialist with more than 27 years of experience. Based in Table View, Cape Town, the team focuses on traditional wood burning spit braais, generous finger foods and hearty hot meals. Their approach is rooted in home-cooked quality, reliable delivery and a friendly, professional service ethos that supports clients across a wide range of functions.

Finger snacks and platters are a core part of what they do. The menu spans canapés and combo snack platters through to kebab and phyllo selections, mixed platters, breakfast platters and abundant cheese boards. Platters can be arranged and charged per person or per platter, allowing planners to match portions to guest numbers and budget. These flexible options suit everything from office teas and client meetings to birthdays, graduations, baby showers and memorial gatherings, with presentation that suits both casual and formal settings.

Their traditional spit braai service is a standout. The team has refined a method that delivers tender lamb with well-balanced sides, creating a focal point at outdoor and indoor events alike. Beyond the spit, they utilise gas grilling for steaks, kebabs, burgers and chickens, providing quick-turn, crowd-pleasing protein options for larger groups. A wood burning pizza oven adds further range, ideal for pastas, pizzas, roasts and seafood, and helps shape menus that move easily from canapé hour to mains without changing suppliers.

Hot meals complement the braai and finger food offering, with a focus on comforting, home-style cooking suited to corporate lunches, family celebrations and community functions. Delivery and collection options are available, and menus can be tailored, altered or re-arranged to suit dietary preferences, event timing and service style. This adaptability allows clients to create a cohesive flow across courses, or to select a single category such as finger snacks for shorter engagements.

Out 'n About Catering supports a broad spectrum of occasions. They cater for corporate catering and office lunches, year end functions and award evenings, as well as birthdays, gala events, graduations and general celebrations. Social milestones including baby showers, engagements and weddings are well covered, and the team also provides respectful catering for funerals and memorials. Whether the brief is intimate or large-scale, the emphasis is on consistent quality and smooth service.

Menu planning is collaborative. With decades in the restaurant and catering industry, the team brings practical insight into portioning, pacing and equipment, and can advise on combinations that balance flavour, texture and service times. Their gallery showcases examples such as combo snack platters, open canapés, cheese boards, breakfast platters and spit braai setups, giving a sense of both variety and presentation.

Beyond food, they can arrange a range of event essentials through trusted partners. This includes hiring and décor, glasses, wedding and event co-ordinators, sound engineers, photographers, bar service and staffing such as iters and bar staff. Having these elements coordinated through a single point of contact helps streamline planning and keeps service aligned on the day.

From finger snacks for a quick office gathering to full spit braai feasts with sides, hot meals and dessert-style platters, Out 'n About Catering offers a versatile, well-rounded service for events across Cape Town and the wider Western Cape. The combination of traditional techniques, modern equipment and a flexible, customer-focused approach has underpinned their long-standing reputation in the region.
