Mpumalanga
Find the food trailers and market stalls trading at Mbombela's markets, festivals and school events, and book them for your own.
Mbombela, the capital of Mpumalanga and the main gateway to the Kruger National Park, has no food truck park. Its trucks and stalls follow the Lowveld's event calendar instead: the monthly farmers market at the botanical garden, the Mead and Honey Festival each August, school interhighs and Christmas markets.
The listings so far are both event traders. Samoosa Rani's sells homemade samoosas at festivals and markets, and The Rolling Eatery is a food trailer run by two sisters that works markets as well as weddings and year-end functions.
Summers here are hot, humid and wet and winters are dry, and many of the outdoor events these trucks work fall between July and November.
Samoosa Rani's folds its samoosas by hand in five fillings: lamb, chicken, cheese and corn, potato and peas, and mung bean. The stall also sells crispy samoosa pastry crisps with a choice of toppings.
It has traded at the Mead and Honey Festival at The Bardolino Artists Retreat in both 2025 and 2026, at the Lowveld Coffee Festival and at Christmas markets. Upcoming dates go up on its Facebook page.
The Rolling Eatery is a food trailer run by a sister duo who describe their cooking as crazy good food. There is no fixed menu: they build it around each event, and burgers and chips have featured in their posts. They catered their first wedding in October 2025 and take bookings for year-end functions, private parties and catering, by email or through Facebook.
School and sports fixtures are a big part of The Rolling Eatery's public trading. It traded at the Buco Lowveld Interhigh 2026, hosted by Lowveld High School, and at an equestrian show day in December 2025.
These events have run in the past year, and the listed businesses have traded at most of them.
A monthly market at the Lowveld National Botanical Garden with food, local brands and live music. The September 2026 Spring Fiesta ran on a Saturday from 10am to 7pm, and its Instagram lists a Shutdown edition on 5 December 2026.
An annual family day for World Mead Day at The Bardolino Artists Retreat, 8 Hermansburg Road off the R40, held on Saturday 1 August in 2026. Samoosa Rani's had a stall in 2025 and 2026.
Run by the Lowveld Coffee Festival team on 7 and 8 August 2026, with food vendors alongside the coffee. Samoosa Rani's traded at the 2025 Lowveld Coffee Festival.
An interschools sports meeting hosted by Lowveld High School. The Rolling Eatery traded at the 2026 edition.
The Rolling Eatery is the trailer you can book in Mbombela, for weddings, year-end functions, private parties and catering. Tell them your guest numbers and the food you have in mind, since the menu is built per event. Samoosa Rani's isn't listed for hire, so catch it at a festival.
Year-end bookings start early: The Rolling Eatery was advertising them at the start of November 2025. For a summer event, plan shade and cover for the heat and the rain.
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.
