Burgers, shwarmas, vetkoek and home-cooked specials from a Hout Bay food trailer.
Based elsewhere, but they come to Hout Bay for weddings, parties and work functions.
Hout Bay is a harbour village on the Atlantic side of the Peninsula, between Chapman's Peak Drive and the road over to Llandudno. The Voetsek Kitchen, a trailer serving home-style food, is the Hout Bay truck listed here. Most other street food here comes from stalls at the harbour market and the Sunday village market.
The Voetsek Kitchen traded from the corner of Main Road and The Promenade and, before that, from the Oudekraal viewpoint on the coast road towards Camps Bay. On 1 May 2026 its owners posted on Instagram that the Hout Bay trailer had closed while it is refitted, with a plan to return to the Oudekraal spot. Check its Facebook or Instagram page before you drive over.
The Voetsek Kitchen cooks home-style South African food: boerewors rolls, vetkoek and soup, with home-cooked specials such as lasagne. Juices and coffee round out the menu. The specials change, so the trailer's Facebook page is the place to see what it is serving.
Burgers and shwarmas are the main hot items on the menu, and The Voetsek Kitchen has posted a shish kebab served in a shwarma on its Facebook page.
The Voetsek Kitchen makes toasties and falafel wraps, the meat-free choice on its menu, alongside its boerewors rolls. The owners ask customers to WhatsApp or call ahead to order, using the number on the trailer's Facebook page.
Hout Bay has no regular food truck market, so street food here means market stalls. Both markets below have food traders.
A market in an old fish factory at 31 Harbour Road, open Fridays from 9:30am to 9pm and on weekends and public holidays from 9:30am to 5pm, with food stalls, craft and live music on its own stage. Pets are not allowed inside.
An outdoor community market at Mainstream Park every Sunday from 10am to 3pm between September and May, and on selected dates once a month in winter, with hand-picked food traders among the craft stalls.
The Voetsek Kitchen isn't listed for hire here, though its owner posted in May 2026 that he takes catering and meal orders while the trailer is being refitted. Contact the trailer through the social links on its page.
For a function in Hout Bay, look at the Cape Town listings. Earthfire Pizza and Holy Macaroni list the Atlantic Seaboard in their service areas, and spit braai caterers cook at your house or venue, usually for at least 25 to 35 guests. Many caterers are based in the northern suburbs or on the Cape Flats, so ask about a travel fee to Hout Bay and confirm there is space to park the truck or trailer.
Use Request Booking on a truck's page to send your date, venue and guest numbers straight to the truck by WhatsApp or email.
