About food trucks in East London
East London's listed trucks lean sweet. Fresh Pancakes and Pancake Passion sell pancakes, and Chicca Pizza bakes pizza on homemade bases from a trailer. Between them they trade at weekend markets, school events, a car show and the East London Show, and each posts its next stop on Facebook.
They cover a long stretch of coast. Fresh Pancakes works markets from Kidd's Beach in the west to Gonubie and Cintsa in the east, as well as Quigney and Beacon Bay in town. Pancake Passion is the easiest to find on a weekday, because it sells every day from The Batter and Bean Cafe at 4 Donald Road in Vincent.
For private events, the clearest option is Fresh Pancakes' bulk service, which supplies packed pancakes for school and church fundraisers. The other two trade mainly at public events, so ask them directly about yours.
Pancake trucks in East London
Fresh Pancakes is a family-run stall that makes traditional cinnamon and sugar pancakes fresh at its table. Its listing names Kim's Corner in Quigney, the Avalon Market at Kidd's Beach, Kings Mall in Gonubie and Cintsa Country Club, and its page adds Bunkers Market, Gardners Market, the Nahoon lifesaver shack and an afternoon at Spargs in Beacon Bay in March 2026. It traded at Avalon's Easter market on Saturday 4 April 2026.
Pancake Passion serves light, fluffy pancakes, including chocolate-dipped ones, and travels to markets, school events and shows across the Eastern Cape, such as the WAM Festival in Komani (Queenstown). It traded at the 2026 East London Show at the Gonubie showgrounds.
Waffles and chocolate-dipped pancakes in Vincent, East London
Pancake Passion now runs its own cafe, The Batter and Bean Cafe at 4 Donald Road in Vincent, and its chocolate-dipped waffles and pancakes are on sale there daily. That makes it the one East London listing you can visit without waiting for a market. In 2026 the cafe ran mid-week waffle deals and Friday pancake specials, with dine-in and take-out, and took bookings by phone.
Pizza food trucks in East London
Chicca Pizza is a pizza trailer serving East London and the surrounding areas. Its homemade bases are baked crisp on the outside and soft in the centre, then topped with fresh ingredients to order. You'll find it at local markets and events, including the Wizards On Wheels Car Show and Market in Stirling, and it posts where it's heading next on Facebook. It isn't marked for hire, so ask through its page if you want it at a function.
Bulk pancake orders for East London fundraisers
Fresh Pancakes sells individually packed cinnamon pancakes in bulk, ready to heat and serve, for fundraisers, schools, functions and resellers. You order on WhatsApp, pay in advance and collect, so allow time before a school market or church tea. It is a practical option for a school civvies day or sports day with no cook on site.
Where to find food trucks in East London
East London's trucks don't share one weekly spot, so follow the markets and annual shows below. Each has a 2026 date or is named by a listed truck as a regular trading spot.
Avalon Market at Kidd's Beach
A country market and events venue at the R72 and R347 junction near Kidd's Beach, with live music and pony rides. It held an Easter market on Saturday 4 April 2026 from 9am to 2pm, where Fresh Pancakes traded.
The Batter and Bean Cafe, Vincent
Pancake Passion's own cafe at 4 Donald Road in Vincent, open daily for its pancakes and waffles, with dine-in and take-out.
East London Show, Gonubie
The annual agricultural and industrial show at the Gonubie Farmers Hall Showgrounds, at the corner of the R102 and N2. The 2026 show ran from 30 April to 3 May, and Pancake Passion traded there.
Wizards On Wheels Car Show and Market
A yearly car show and market at Stirling Primary School, held on Saturday 25 July 2026 from 10am to 3pm. Chicca Pizza names it as one of its trading spots.

Hiring a food truck in East London
Fresh Pancakes is marked for hire on its listing, and its bulk orders need payment up front and collection, so plan a few days ahead for a fundraiser. Pancake Passion and Chicca Pizza mostly trade at public events; message them with the date, venue and expected crowd and they'll tell you if they can come.
Distances matter on this coast. Kidd's Beach, Gonubie and Cintsa are each a drive from the city centre, so say exactly where the event is. Expect trucks to be committed to the East London Show at the start of May and to summer holiday markets on the coast.
To make contact, open the truck's page and tap Request Booking. It sends your details straight to the truck by WhatsApp or email, and the truck sets its own price. Food Truck Finder doesn't take bookings or payments.
