About food trucks in Gqeberha

Gqeberha's food trucks are small, owner-run trailers that move around Nelson Mandela Bay with the calendar: Sunday country markets, Friday night markets, school derby days, fun runs at Kings Beach and car shows. Only a couple keep a fixed spot. Spud Co. sells loaded potatoes from 172 Main Road in Walmer, and Grab A Chow parks in Linton Grange between the Spar and Pick n Pay on afternoons it announces on Facebook.

The food is mostly handheld. Expect burgers from several trucks, Lebanese-style shawarma, flatbreads filled with 12-hour brisket or pulled lamb, kotas and boerie rolls, baked potatoes with butter chicken or mince, rolled Thai ice cream and mobile coffee. Grab A Chow and Meraki Foods state that their food is strictly halaal.

Most trucks trade in public and take private bookings on the side. The exceptions are the spit braai caterers, Henry's Spitbraai and Werner's Spitbraais, who work to booking for weddings, birthdays and company functions.

Where to find food trucks in Gqeberha

Gqeberha has no permanent food truck park, so the trucks follow a handful of recurring markets and evenings. These all ran in 2026; check the organiser's page or the truck's Facebook before you drive out, because wind and rain cancel outdoor markets here.

Hiring a food truck in Gqeberha

For a wedding or big birthday, the spit braai caterers are built for numbers. Henry's Spitbraai sets a 30-guest minimum and can customise menus; Werner's Spitbraais adjusts its four menus and can host at Manas Venue in Theescombe. Many function venues sit on the city's western edge in Kragga Kamma, Theescombe and towards the Van Stadens River, so give the exact venue when you ask for a quote.

Book early for the Easter weekend, when the Splash Festival fills Kings Beach with more than 50 food trucks, and for Heritage Day on 24 September, when trucks such as Outstabulous Catering and Events and Miss Barista worked festivals in 2026. Ask about wind too: Gqeberha afternoons can blow hard, so agree where the truck parks and whether it needs shelter.

To book any truck, open its page and tap Request Booking. Your date, venue and guest numbers go straight to the truck by WhatsApp or email, and the truck quotes you directly; Food Truck Finder doesn't take bookings or payments.
