Welcome to The Saucy Saffa

Savour The Flavour

Tired of tasting food that felt like it needed a personality transplant, we packed our bags and hightailed it to South Africa — only to return to Otago armed with flavours loud enough to wake the neighbours.


From saucy little show-offs and swagger-filled spice rubs to sweet treats and other dangerously snackable goodies, we’ve curated a collection of groceries that’s as quirky as it is downright delicious.

We were in the Saucy Saffa on Friday and bought some pork sausage and biltong, as well as some chilly sticks. They were fantastic l recommend them all. Absolutely delicious. We definitely will be back

The best Drywors, Biltong and Chillibites I have ever tasted! Will definitely be coming here more often, I am so glad I found this shop! And the owner is just the most lovely guy ever, thank you so much 😁

Going down to Mosgiel for the first time to see where my partner is from and finding a SA Shop on our walk through town made my day! I was so excited to take the kids in and let them choose some snacks, bought some biltong too my partner said it was the best he’d tried so far, and I agreed that it was the best I’d had in NZ! Look forward to our next trip south

Rob Clarke

Top South African store with a great range of products. This store will appeal to anyone, not just South Africans. Go and at least try the biltong!

Grace Curwood

Very friendly owner and was great at helping my boys try new food.

Amazing thickshakes too

Delivery

To whisk your favourite goodies to your doorstep, we’ve teamed up with NZ Couriers — the speed demons of delivery — so your order gets to you super fast. Fresh and frozen meats? Those beauties can zoom around the South Island only. Dried meats? They’re free to roam all across NZ like the tasty little nomads they are.

And the best part? Most of our grocery treats are ready and waiting for you to order online. Click, drool, repeat.

Fresh Baking

We whip up fresh goodies for you every single week — Milk Tarts, Peppermint Crisp Tarts, and those legendary, highly-sought-after Koeksisters that tend to disappear faster than we can blink.

And when Christmas rolls around? We go full festive frenzy and cram the fridge with even more delicious baked treats. Basically, it’s dessert season… all the time.
