It’s Braai Time With Woolies - Tips and Recipes for Burgers

A burger is only as good as its patty. That’s why Woolies only works with suppliers who follow strict hygiene, traceability, and animal welfare standards. Our meat is sourced from across South Africa through audited abattoirs and farms that uphold exceptional quality and care at every step.

Try our free range beef burger patties for that rich, juicy bite that stays moist over the flames. If you prefer chicken, go for the chicken burger patties. They’re pre-seasoned, freezer-ready and made from quality cuts that keep their shape on the grill. And for a veggie option, the plant based burger patties give a bold char without compromise.

Timing matters. Nobody enjoys an overcooked patty that needs a litre of sauce. Light your fire early, let the coals burn down, and keep your grid medium-hot. Use tongs, not forks, and flip once. That’s it. You don’t need to press it or poke it.

Pair your patty with fresh buns, and remember to toast them, cut side down, for a few seconds right at the end.

Burger nights bring people together, but everyone has their own go-to combo. One person wants gherkins and chilli, another just wants tomato and melted cheese. Keep the spread simple but fresh.

Woolworths’ burger mayonnaise hits all the right notes, and the sliced cheddar perfectly complements hot patties. Stack with crisp lettuce, red onion and a few slices of avocado if you're feeling fancy.

For a plant-based twist, pair your patty with a grilled pineapple ring and a spicy chutney. It’s casual, colourful, and crowd-approved.

You don’t need a big garden or a special occasion to fire up a burger braai. Even a weeknight dinner can turn into something memorable with the right ingredients. Whether it’s your teen’s exam celebration or your midweek catch-up with friends, burgers keep things easy and fuss-free.

And when the weather acts up? Bring it indoors. These patties cook just as well on a stove-top griddle or air fryer - either way, it’s still a braai!

Woolworths patties reflect our commitment to quality. Every cut we use is traceable. Every product is grade-specified. Our team checks pH levels, temperature and more to maintain the texture and flavour you expect from us.

The result? A range of patties that cook evenly, taste incredible and work hard behind the scenes so you don’t have to. From meat lovers to flexitarians, there’s a Woolies patty for every braai plan.
