About food trucks in Durban

Durban's food truck listings are not what most visitors expect. In the city that gave South Africa the bunny chow, the biggest group is spit braai caterers: businesses that bring a lamb on the spit, chafing dishes and a chef to your home, office or function venue. Several of them say their meat is halaal.

The second group is sweet: mini donuts on the North Beach promenade and at The Pearls of Umhlanga, frozen yoghurt and soft serve for hire. Wood-fired pizza, pizza cones, burgers, corndogs, South Indian dosas, Turkish doner kebab and a mobile barista make up the rest, along with a converted Bedford bus that serves bunny chow and bao.

Most Durban listings work private events rather than a public pitch. The ones you can walk up to trade at the Saturday markets in Musgrave and Shongweni, at The Westville Warehouse, on the North Beach promenade and at the Durban Street Food Festival in September.

Spit braai caterers in Durban

Set menus start at 25 guests, and smaller groups can order takeaway meals or hire a spit.

GMW Spitbraai also cooks on gas, and it is one Durban spit braai business you can taste before you book: its food truck sells cocktail lamb rolls and lamb burgers at the Shongweni Farmers & Craft Market on Saturdays. Fired Up Spit Braais is owner-run from the Durban North area and roasts lamb for weddings, sports events and prize-givings. Twilight Caterers and Spit Braai's in Pinetown adds buffets and platters, and publishes a festive spit braai menu for the year-end season.

Hiring a food truck in Durban

For a spit braai, start with the guest count. Durban Braai Company's packages start at about 25 guests and Le Oma Spitbraai Specialists' set menus at 25, so for a smaller family lunch look at Le Oma's takeaway meals, a hired spit from GMW Spitbraai or Le Oma, or braai delivery from Kennedy Spitbraai & Caterers. Ask whether the caterer cooks on charcoal or gas. Le Oma and GMW use gas spits, which matters if your venue or complex won't allow charcoal.

Durban's summer is also its rainy season, so for an outdoor function between October and March ask the truck what cover it brings. Fudart strEATERY carries its own plumbing, electricity and gas, which helps at a venue with no power near the parking. Year-end functions fill November and December, so book that season early.

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.
