It's Braai Time With Woolies - Sweets, Biltong, Snacks, Platters and Tips You’ll Love
Braai season has its own unique rhythm. Someone brings the firelighters, someone grabs the tongs, and there’s always that friend who shows up just for the snacks. You might be braaing in your garden, on a beach in Gqeberha, or on a stoep in Bloem. One thing stays the same: the build-up matters just as much as the meat or veg. That’s where Woolworths comes in with exceptional-quality ingredients.
With punchy bites, easy sweets, no-fuss platters and tender biltong, Woolies helps you turn a good braai into a full-flavoured gathering to remember.
Snacks That Buy You Time
Every host knows the coals take their own time. While the fire gets ready, put out a few bowls of Woolworths’ sour glow worms or gums galore. You’ll keep the kids busy, the adults talking, and no one will ask you how long the wors will still take.
Pair your sweets with something savoury like the Woolworths sweet chilli crispy rice crackers or our crunchy nibbles nuts. These keep hands moving and taste buds ticking over. If you want more variety, the prawn cocktail chips and cheese puffs add colour and crunch. These are perfect for on-the-go snacking or last-minute hosting.
Biltong That Speaks for Itself
There’s no South African get-together without biltong. Woolies biltong is cut from specified grades of beef, venison or ostrich, then spiced and dried using traditional methods. That means each bite packs flavour and chew without stringiness or surprises.
Try the Woolworths sliced beef biltong or opt for something stronger like the chilli beef snapsticks. For something leaner, the ostrich snapsticks deliver a gamey hit that still tastes smooth. Every bag is traceable, every batch tested for quality. So when you need something satisfying between the salads and the steaks, biltong wins.
Platters That Bring It All Together
You don’t always need to go the full DIY route. Woolies has platters that make hosting simple. Our party food selection platter is a braai crowd-pleaser and includes BBQ chicken pancakes, bacon and cheese pancakes, chicken meatballs, pork chipolatas and mini beef curry vetkoek. For something more indulgent, our sushi platters offer something unexpected around the fire.
If you’re packing for a road trip, braai, or heading to a friend’s place, the BBQ chicken kebabs or the tasting cheese selection saves you from kitchen prep. Each platter is made fresh with ingredients that meet Woolworths’ traceability and hygiene standards. So when you put them down on the table, they’re ready to impress.
Sweet Endings You Don’t Have to Bake
Just because the braai’s done doesn’t mean the eating is. Woolworths desserts take the pressure off and bring a final flourish to the meal. Try the vanilla flavoured mini marshie pies for a playful marshmallow treat, or try our lamington cake slices and serve with a side of fresh berries. If the kids are still running around, a bag of strawberry and cream jellies or jelly beans keeps the fun going without the mess.
Every sweet treat comes packed with flavour, made to Woolies’ standards of quality and freshness. And with most items available in-store or online, stocking up is as easy as lighting the fire.
