The rule of thumb
- Boneless meat (steak, wors, fillets): 250–350 g per adult.
- Bone-in meat (chops, chicken pieces, ribs): 400–500 g per adult.
- Children: about half an adult portion.
- Big eaters or a meat-only braai: add 20–30%.
Sample order for 10 adults
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Boerewors | 1.5 kg |
| Lamb chops | 1.5 kg |
| Chicken pieces | 2 kg |
| Steak | 1 kg |
