What Comes in a Wings Platter
Our wings platters are packed for sharing and can be ordered for small groups or larger event tables. Each platter is built around crispy chicken wings, seasoned after frying and served with dipping sauces, napkins and, where needed, disposable serving gear for clean handling at events. You can choose a mild option for mixed-age groups or go hotter for sports nights and late-evening gatherings.
The standard platter is arranged to suit finger food service, so guests can pick up pieces without waiting on a full seated meal. Wings are portioned by count, with most orders ranging from 20, 30, 50 or 100 pieces depending on the number of people and the style of event. For bigger groups we can split the order into mixed trays, so there is a fair spread across tables.
- Freshly fried wings with a crisp coating
- Mild, medium or hot seasoning options
- Dipping sauces included on request
- Napkins and disposable serving items available
- Portions suited to 5, 10, 15 or more guests
Best Uses for Shared Wing Orders
These platters work well where people are moving around, talking, or watching a match. They are a strong fit for birthdays, office socials, team meetings after hours and community events where quick service matters. In Braamfontein and central Johannesburg, wings platters are often used for rooftop events, student gatherings and staff lunches where seating is limited.
They also suit church functions, family braais, school fundraisers and informal business launches. Because the wings are easy to portion, they are a practical choice for venues that need controlled serving and less mess on the floor. If your venue has limited kitchen space or strict timing, a platter service keeps the food moving without slowing the whole event.
- Sports viewing and match day catering
- Birthday tables and family celebrations
- Office functions and corporate lunches
- School, church and community events
- Takeaway spreads for homes and informal gatherings
How We Prepare and Pack Wing Platters
Orders start with the number of guests and the serving style you need. Once the size is confirmed, the kitchen team prepares the wings in batches so the coating stays crisp and the meat stays juicy. We keep the process tight because wing platters are at their best when they are cooked close to collection or delivery time.
Plating is done in sturdy food trays that hold heat well during transport. For deliveries in Johannesburg, Soweto, Pretoria and Midrand, we package the trays to handle stop-start traffic and summer heat. If your event is in a coastal or humid indoor venue with aircon cycling on and off, we advise serving as soon as the order arrives so the crispness holds better.
- Batch frying for even texture
- Tray packing for transport stability
- Clear labelling for heat level and quantity
- Optional extra sauce cups for larger groups
- Delivery and setup available for selected events
Ordering Steps and Turnaround Times
To place an order, send through your event details on the contact page with the date, area, estimated guest count and the kind of platter you want. We then confirm the portion size and the best collection or delivery window. For a simple office order, turnaround can be same day if the kitchen load allows it. For larger functions, it is better to book ahead so the branch can plan stock and staff properly.
For weekday lunches and small gatherings, a few hours notice is often enough. For weekends, school events and church functions, give us more time because the fryer schedule fills quickly. If the order includes several platters, sauces and setup items, we will map out the production and delivery sequence so the food arrives in the right order.

Pricing Approach for Wing Platters
Pricing depends on wing count, flavour profile, packaging and whether you need delivery or on-site setup. Smaller platters are priced for quick personal sharing, while larger event trays are priced per piece or by group size. This keeps the cost fair for both casual orders and bigger catering jobs. If you need multiple platters for a corporate event or family function, we can quote across the full order so you have one clean total.
We do not use a one-size-fits-all price because every event is different. A watch party for 12 people will need a different mix from a school fundraiser for 80. The best way to price it is by guest count, heat level and serving style, then add any extras like sauce cups, disposable trays or delivery. For larger bookings, the branch team can suggest the most cost-effective split between wings and supporting sides.
- Price based on quantity ordered
- Adjustments for sauces and add-ons
- Delivery charged by area and timing
- Bulk orders can be quoted as one package
- Final price confirmed before preparation starts
Keeping the Platters in Good Serving Condition
Wing platters do not need complicated care, but timing matters. For best results, keep the trays closed until the last few minutes before serving. If the order must wait, keep it in a warm area away from steam and rain. In Johannesburg summer heat or during load-shedding when air movement drops, it helps to avoid sealing hot trays too tightly for too long, as trapped moisture can soften the coating.
If you are serving over an extended period, we recommend opening one tray at a time and replenishing the table as needed. For events lasting several hours, a maintenance interval of 30 to 45 minutes works well for checking temperature, topping up sauces and replacing used napkins. When the order includes delivery and setup, our team can help position the platters so traffic around the food table stays smooth and orderly.
- Keep trays closed until serving time
- Open one platter at a time for best crispness
- Check the table every 30 to 45 minutes
- Store leftovers in a cool, covered space
- Use clean serving tongs or gloves where possible
Where Wing Platters Fit Across Our Branch Areas
We supply wings platters from Braamfontein to surrounding service areas including Soweto, Pretoria Central, Midrand, Newtown, Sandton, Centurion and Randburg. That gives event organisers a practical option when they need food that travels well and serves quickly. The branches are used to handling mixed orders for office floors, community halls, homes and outdoor venues, so the packing is done with movement and timing in mind.
If your event is in a venue with strict access rules, limited parking or a set delivery slot, let us know in advance. We can plan around security counters, loading areas and municipal venue timing so the order lands where it should. For events with children or older guests, we can also recommend milder seasoning and smaller piece counts. It is a simple service, but the planning makes a big difference on the day.
- Braamfontein Branch for central Johannesburg orders
- Soweto Branch for local events and community functions
- Pretoria Central Branch for city and office catering
- Midrand Branch for business parks and residential areas
- Service areas include Newtown, Sandton, Centurion and Randburg
