Where This Is Going

We started Let's "Meat" with one simple belief: every braai starts a conversation.

Now we're taking that fire further. The first "Meat" Up is not the finish line — it's the starting point. We're building a community, building the gees and getting South Africa ready for The Big Save to bring thousands of people together around the fire and take on a world-record braai.

THE WORLD'S
BIGGEST BRAAI.

South Africa, let's bring the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title home.

On 24 September 2026, thousands of South Africans will gather at Loftus Versfeld for another official attempt at the record for the most people grilling/barbecuing simultaneously — although here at home, we call it a braai.

Date 24 Sep 2026
Time 09:00 – 20:00
Venue Loftus Versfeld
Location Pretoria
3,000 people. One fire. One record attempt.

In 2025, 2,412 people were officially counted in the braai area — more than the standing record of 2,220 — but the attempt was not certified because participants were required to remain at their allocated braai stations for the full official braai period. In 2026, the process is tighter, clearer and built around getting the record officially over the line.

How The Braai Works

The official braai runs from 09:00 – 12:00, with all 3,000 participants braaiing together at 10:00 sharp. All you need to bring is yourself.

  • A portion of wors to braai
  • A fresh roll or portion of pap
  • A branded apron to keep
  • A pair of tongs to keep
  • Access to a pre-lit braai station ready for cooking
  • Participants must remain at their allocated braai station for the full official record-attempt period

The Festival Experience

Once the record attempt is complete, the festival runs from 12:00 – 20:00 with live entertainment, food, family zones and plenty of South African gees.

  • Live performances and entertainment
  • Beer garden for guests aged 18+
  • Food trucks and drink vendors
  • Family-friendly chill and entertainment zones
  • Brand activations, games, prizes and fun
