About food trucks in Paarl

Paarl's listings are mostly of two kinds: spit braai caterers who cook at your venue, and small coffee businesses that set up at events, yards and the odd roadside spot. There is no food truck strip in town, so most of the food here is booked rather than found.

The spit braai side serves weddings, corporate functions and birthdays across the Boland. Boland Spitbraai and Red Bird Catering & Spit Braai both arrive three to four hours before serving and cook lamb or pork on gas spits on site. The coffee side is a black espresso cart with a chalk menu, a wooden coffee bar under a gazebo, and an artisan coffee business that works weddings and gigs.

To eat from a truck rather than hire one, look just outside town. Windmeul Cellar north of Paarl holds a farmers' market on the first Saturday of each month, and the Boschendal Friday Night Market, on the road to Franschhoek, draws Cape Town trucks from September to April.

Spit braai caterers in Paarl

Boland Spitbraai sends a chef with a gas spit machine to your home or venue. The chef cooks lamb, pork, chicken or beef on site and serves it with pasta, potato and leaf salads, with extras such as Greek salad and steamed vegetables. The website promises no mess and no smoke, and it publishes its price list by season, so ask for the current one.

Red Bird Catering & Spit Braai works the same way, arriving three to four hours before serving time. Its spit menu comes in three lamb and three pork options, it says it uses A-grade lamb, and it lists vegetarian, vegan and halaal-friendly options. It can also bring tables, chairs, servers and décor.

Coffee trucks and carts in Paarl

Feit Coffee Paarl is a small black espresso cart with a fold-out awning and a chalk menu. It pours espresso, Americano, cappuccino, flat white, latte, cortado, mocha, chai latte and a red cappuccino, plus coffee and chocolate freezos. The cart sets up at yards, venues and events around Paarl rather than running from a shop.

Where to find food trucks in Paarl

Paarl's trucks don't share a regular spot. These are the places worth knowing, in town and a short drive out.

Paarl Main Road

Roasted has set up its coffee along Paarl Main Road between event bookings. Check its Facebook page to see when it is out.

Windmeul Farmers' Market

At Windmeul Cellar on the R44 north of Paarl, on the first Saturday of every month from 08:00 to around midday, with produce, deli stalls and breakfast served until 11:00. There is no January market.

Hiring a food truck in Paarl

Paarl's spit braai caterers list weddings on wine farms, birthdays, school events and corporate days among their bookings. Both arrive three to four hours before serving, so your venue has to let them set up a gas spit and work on site through the afternoon. Agree who supplies tables, crockery and staff: Red Bird Catering & Spit Braai can bring tables, chairs, servers and décor.

Both caterers travel. Red Bird lists Wellington, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Worcester and Cape Town's northern suburbs, and Boland Spitbraai covers the Winelands, the Helderberg and Cape Town's northern and southern suburbs. Packages are priced per person, so send your guest numbers when you ask for a quote.

Use Request Booking on the truck's page to send your date, venue and numbers straight to the caterer by WhatsApp or email.
