Cuisines in Gauteng
Gauteng's listings lean towards braai and smokehouse food, spit braai catering, burgers, mobile coffee, and boerewors rolls and hot dogs. You'll also find fried chicken and wings, charcuterie carts, paella, waffles, soft serve, tacos, wood-fired pizza, Nigerian food, sushi and a vegan trailer.
About food trucks in Gauteng
Gauteng's food trucks are centred on Johannesburg and Pretoria, with smaller groups in Centurion, Roodepoort, Sandton, Soweto and the East and West Rand. Most are booked for private events, but the province's weekend markets give you a chance to try them first: Prison Break Market in Midrand, the 4 Ways Farmers Market at Taroko Farm, Hazel Food Market in Lynnwood and the Horwoods Family Market in Edenvale among them.
Braai is the backbone. Spit braai caterers and braai or smokehouse trucks form the biggest group, followed by burgers, mobile coffee and boerewors rolls. Outside that there is Nigerian home cooking in Midrand, sushi in Soweto, paella in Randburg, Dutch poffertjes in Pretoria, a vegan trailer in Florida and wood-fired pizza from a Bedford truck in Krugersdorp.
Distances shape bookings. A caterer in Germiston and a wedding venue in Muldersdrift are on opposite sides of the province, so pick a town first and check each truck's service areas.
Food trucks in Johannesburg
Joburg's trucks lean to burgers, wings and braai food, with paella, kosher street food and grazing carts as specialists. Balkan Burger trades weekly at Prison Break Market, The Filthy Moustache also runs a burger joint on Walters Street in Rosebank, and The Wing Republic serves its wings from a restaurant on De Beer Street in Braamfontein as well as a branded truck for events.

Sandton's are event businesses, led by Hangry Chef Gourmet Food Truck with burgers, sliders and tacos for corporate functions. In Midrand, Naija Bites serves Nigerian home-style food from a trailer.
Food trucks on the West Rand
Roodepoort, Krugersdorp and Muldersdrift add some of the province's more unusual menus. The Flipside Cafe is a plant-based kitchen in a red trailer in Florida, Firecraft Pizza bakes 72-hour fermented dough in a restored red Bedford truck with its own oven, and Meat MyKitchen Food Truck serves breakfast, chimichangas, burgers and its own Simply Wild chilli sauces.
Food trucks on the East Rand
The East Rand trucks tend to have regular spots. Braaiery sells handcrafted boerewors rolls from a truck outside Alberton Hardware on Saturday mornings, in flavours such as chilli cheese, curry, green pepper and mango.

Hiring a food truck in Gauteng
Start with trucks in your own town or the next one over. Several caterers charge travel by distance, and a Pretoria truck booked for a Vereeniging venue will price the trip in.
Gauteng's summer rain comes as afternoon thunderstorms, so for outdoor functions between about November and March ask whether the truck brings a gazebo or needs cover. November and December are also year-end and matric farewell season, so book early for those months.
Spit braai minimums often sit around 30 guests, coffee trailers such as MobiMug Mobile Coffee Solutions work groups into the thousands, and soft-serve vans, ice cream vans and waffle bars suit kids' parties and complex fun days.
