Food trucks in Ballito

The Ballito listing so far is Local Coffee Ballito, a coffee trailer on the beachfront at the Clarke Bay Surf Life Saving Club. It is a sit-down spot, with tables beside the trailer that look out over the sea.

There is more mobile food on this stretch of the Dolphin Coast than the listing count suggests. Smaquè Stack, the uMhlanga smash burger brand, has a branch at Sugar Rush Park, and The Italian Corner takes its gelato trailer to markets, mostly on the Ballito and Salt Rock side. You'll find both on the uMhlanga page.

Most food here is sold from fixed spots and weekend markets rather than from trucks that move around town. For catered events, Ballito relies on Durban businesses that travel up the N2.

Local Coffee Ballito isn't listed for hire. For an event on the North Coast, The Italian Corner's gelato trailer already works the Ballito and Salt Rock side and can be booked for weddings, birthday parties and private functions.

For a braai or a full meal, look at the Durban caterers. Le Oma Spitbraai Specialists travels to venues anywhere in South Africa, Durban Braai Company covers Durban and surrounding areas, and Fudart strEATERY works events around KwaZulu-Natal. Ballito is roughly 40 km up the N2 from central Durban, so ask about travel costs when you request a quote, and book well ahead for December weddings and holiday functions.

Food Truck Finder doesn't take bookings or payments and doesn't quote prices. When you've picked a truck, open its page and use Request Booking to send your date, guest numbers and venue straight to the truck by WhatsApp or email.
