Spit braais, coffee trailers, tacos from a kombi, waffles on a stick and Dutch poffertjes: find Pretoria's food trucks and caterers.
Based elsewhere, but they come to Pretoria for weddings, parties and work functions.
4 listed
Pretoria's trucks split into two groups. Spit braai caterers and coffee trailers mostly come to you, for weddings, school sports days and year-end functions. The rest you can find on a Saturday: tacos from a VW kombi and Belgian waffles on a stick at Hazel Food Market in Lynnwood, boerewors and kaaswors rolls at the Moot Hub market, and a coffee and breakfast trailer on Frates Road in Villieria.
The food leans South African: spit-roasted lamb, pap and kaiings, sosatie rolls and mieliebroodjies. Around that sit a Dutch snack trailer with kroketten and poffertjes, toasted Italian paninis, old-school burgers with slap chips and a soft-serve van from Pretoria East. Several spit braai businesses also hire out the spit itself, so you can run the fire at home.
Trucks here are based in places as far apart as Mamelodi, Rayton, Wonderboom and Faerie Glen, so check each listing's service areas, especially if your venue is in Centurion or on a farm outside the city.
Magalies Spit Braai & Catering roasts full lamb, crispy pork belly, sirloin and chicken on the spit at your venue, with starters, salads, desserts and sides such as baby potatoes and pap with homemade tomato and onion gravy. It also does traditional braai, potjiekos, buffets and breakfasts, can add waterproof tents, and travels into North West and Limpopo.
Nyama Catering cooks lamb, pork and beef spit braais on site, with braai and potjie menus as alternatives, and says it caters anything from 15 to 15,000 guests. It can add spit rental, a mobile bar, a photo booth and a DJ.

Hokaai Meat Market Spitbraai Hire & Catering is a family butchery in Faerie Glen that hires out a big spit for about 80 to 100 people and a mini spit for about 30 to 40. You buy the meat, marinades and spices at the same counter and get set-up guidance, and it also caters spit braais in Pretoria and Centurion.
Mr Spit-Braai Hire, in Mamelodi, hires out rotisserie spit-braai units for private functions. It doesn't publish a menu, so phone to ask about dates and whether they will do the cooking for you.

Oupa Mike se Kos Wa is the trailer for boerewors rolls, smoked kaaswors rolls, sosatie rolls and pap with kaiings. It trades at markets around Pretoria, including the Moot Hub market at Lockhouse Park, and at seasonal events such as Christmas markets. WhatsApp an order for pick-up, or book the trailer for an event. Its trading days are given as Monday to Saturday.

TacoKombi serves Mexican street food from a restored VW kombi: beef or chicken tacos with fresh salsa, avocado, lettuce, jalapeños and cheddar, a vegetarian taco, nachos and jalapeño poppers. Its website says the idea came from a trip to California in 2009. Find it at Hazel Food Market on Saturdays. For venues short on space there is a compact Taco Bar, and the kombi caters school, sports and church events as well as private and corporate functions.

De Kroketten Man and Poffertje Queen sells Dutch snacks from a trailer: croquettes, poffertjes (mini pancakes), stroopwafels, chips with sauce and Dutch pea soup. It works festivals and events rather than a fixed spot, so contact the owners to ask where the trailer will be next, or to book it.

Panini Bistro is a family business that toasts hot Italian paninis to order. Fillings include bacon and egg, biltong and avo, smoked beef with onions and jalapeños, Italian salami and a vegetarian option, all with cheese. It has had stands at Innibos and Aardklop as well as Pretoria markets.
Elite Eatz is a family-run trailer serving old-school burgers with 150g beef patties, traditional slap chips and loaded fries such as cheesy bacon and Russian, plus omelette sandwiches for breakfast. It works flea markets, rallies and charity events, including Montana Crossing and Welbekend.

Pink Waffle Cabin's bubblegum-pink trailers sell Belgian waffles on a stick, topped with ice cream, cream or chocolate bars such as Bar One and Crunchie. They trade on Saturdays at Hazel Food Market and do waffle and gelato bars for events.
