Johannesburg, South Africa – Windhoek Beer is flipping the script on food rules. Kicking off from today, the Real Beer, Real Food Campaign is hitting the streets, the stoeps, the kitchen hatches and the market stalls to honour the unsung heroes of South Africa’s one-handed meals.
We’re talking about the real food made by more than one million street vendors and eaten by 81% of South Africans. The dripping bunny chows, the late-night kotas, the perfect pizza slices – the food that’s best eaten standing up, mid-convo, and with an ice-cold Windhoek beer in your other hand.
Now, Windhoek Beer is challenging South Africans to help crown the country’s best one-handed food spots – and rewarding them with an all-expenses-paid Round the World Food Tour featuring incredible one-handed food destinations.
There are also instant prizes in the form of Uber Eats and retail shopping vouchers.
How it works:
- Visit your favourite one-handed food outlet or restaurant, between today and 15 Dec 2025
- Buy a Windhoek beer.
- Enter via WhatsApp – scan the QR code in outlet, click link or WhatsApp 0713014813
- Submit the unique code under your Windhoek beer cap, complete a quick sign-up, nominate your favourite one-handed food spot, and provide a picture of you with your food in one hand and Windhoek Beer in the other.
- Share your nomination on social media using #RealBeerRealFood #100Real #WindhoekBeer before 15th Dec 2025 whether it’s a video, reel, or simple post, spread the word and rally support.
The more you vote, the better your chances of winning. And it’s not just you who wins – your nominated outlet could also be crowned one of South Africa’s best one-handed food spots.
“South Africans know real when they taste it – and we’re on the hunt for the best taste in the country,” said Windhoek Beer Marketing Manager, Keval Ramraj. “This is a win for the meals that hit hardest when you’re hungriest, that taste better straight from your hand, and that you remember because of who you shared them with. The realest food doesn’t need two hands to eat.”
“We want neighbourhoods, recipes and shared histories. We want the love letters to the food that raised us,” added Windhoek Beer Marketing Manager, Keval Ramraj. “Beer is for crunchy, messy, one-handed food – no pretentiousness, no forks, no plates. Just 100% real moments.”
To fuel the movement, Windhoek beer is teaming up with some of SA’s most loved foodie voices, including J’Something and Coco, Chef Benny Masekwameng, and Dali Danger to go out and taste the very best – and real is the only metric.
