A feast with a story

Good food, a little theatre, and room to make it yours.

Challas brings the flavour and generosity of a South African braai to Belfast and events across Northern Ireland. Choose a roast, add braai starters and sides, then finish with a South African sweet.

Menus can be shaped around the occasion, with cooking at your venue or food cooked off site and brought to you.
