The Filthy Moustache

The Filthy Moustache delivers a full mobile catering and entertainment experience across Johannesburg and Pretoria. Known for gourmet street food and creative event setups, the team offers food and coffee truck catering alongside a mobile bar, a mobile DJ van, a compact VW event van and a versatile pop up stall. Their mission is to grow a vibrant local street food culture, and they were voted Best Food Truck in South Africa in 2019 by the Restaurant Association of South Africa.

At the heart of the offering is a gourmet menu that celebrates bold flavour and generous portions. Signature burgers are built around juicy patties, with the site describing a medium to well 180 g patty topped with melted cheddar, caramelised onions infused with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, spicy jalapeños, guacamole with creamy feta, and a chillinaise kick. The same spirit runs through their gourmet hot dogs, featuring giant frankfurters nestled in fresh buns and piled high with the same craveable toppings. It is street food designed to be enjoyed with both hands, and it proudly lives up to the name, because a napkin may well be required.

Event formats are designed for flexibility. The flagship food truck brings the full street food theatre to larger gatherings and outdoor settings. Where space is tight or the truck is committed elsewhere, the pop up stall replicates the menu and service in a compact footprint that suits indoor venues, courtyards or shared event spaces. For intimate functions, their smaller VW van, described as a converted hippie van with unmistakable character, delivers gourmet goodness on a more modest scale while keeping the aesthetic and service energy that guests expect.

Beverage service is covered with equal attention. The Rolling Green mobile bar is positioned as an all in one party addition that elevates celebrations, while the dedicated coffee bar brings the aroma and buzz of a café to the event floor. From pre event espressos to post dinner cappuccinos, the coffee service complements the savoury menu, and artisan ice cream adds a sweet finish with indulgent flavours that echo the brand’s playful side. Together, these stations slot in alongside the food truck or operate as standalone features to suit the brief and venue layout.

For a single supplier solution that covers both taste and tunes, The Filthy Moustache also runs a mobile DJ van. It is set up to double the delight at a celebration by pairing their food service with built in entertainment, streamlining logistics and adding atmosphere without needing multiple providers. Whether the brief s for a lively festival vibe or a more relaxed background soundtrack, the DJ van integrates with the wider setup to keep guests engaged and the event flowing.

The team caters across Johannesburg and Pretoria, with the capacity to travel further by arrangement. From bustling public events to private celebrations and cosy gatherings, the mix of a full size truck, a smaller VW van and a compact pop up stall means they can match the footprint and pace of service to the crowd and venue. Their street food presence also extends beyond wheels, with branded outlets noted at Westown Square and Rosebank Quarter, reinforcing a reputation built on consistent flavour and service.

Food safety and professionalism underpin every service. The Filthy Moustache holds a certificate of compliance with the R638 Food Regulation and an Occupational Health and Safety certificate of compliance. All staff carry Food Handling Certification, the operation includes a designated Person in Charge Certification, and a Food Safety Management Certification is in place, with ISO 22000 noted as pending. These credentials reflect a commitment to rigorous standards alongside the fun and flair of their menus and mobile units.

Bringing together award winning street food, adaptable event formats and add ons that range from artisan ice cream to a full mobile bar and DJ, The Filthy Moustache offers a comprehensive, personality filled option for organisers in Gauteng. Their combination of flavour, flexibility and certified operations makes them a strong fit for events seeking a distinctive culinary anchor with the convenience of integrated beverage and entertainment services.

The Filthy Moustache is a gourmet food truck offering catering services across Johannesburg and Pretoria. Inspired by the movie 'Chef', they aim to establish a vibrant street food culture with their delicious gourmet burgers and hot dogs.
