Pretoria East has never been short of places to eat, but Gerry & Co. offers more than the standard arrive-order-leave restaurant experience. Set inside Weiveld Village in Zwavelpoort, it combines relaxed family dining with children’s play areas, sport, coffee, live entertainment, and plenty of room to make an afternoon of it.
Meet Gerry & Co. at Weiveld Village
Gerry & Co. is located at 1 Boschkop Road, Zwavelpoort, close to the intersection with Graham Road. It is easily reached from Silver Lakes, Hazeldean, Olympus, and the surrounding eastern estates, but the open setting feels pleasantly removed from Pretoria’s busier shopping centres.
The restaurant forms part of Weiveld Village, a lively leisure precinct with padel and pickleball courts, children’s facilities, a pump track, and regular events. That wider setting is a big part of the appeal. You can arrive for lunch, let the children play, catch a match, book a court, or stay for live music when something is on.
Casual Food Without the Fuss
The menu follows the easy-going mood of the venue, with familiar favourites such as pizzas, burgers, ribs, fish, schnitzels, and other hearty meals. It is broad enough for family tables and groups with wildly different appetites, which is always useful when nobody can agree on what they want.
Gerry & Co. is not chasing fine-dining formality. The draw is good, uncomplicated food in a relaxed setting where a long lunch feels entirely appropriate. Early visitor feedback has also highlighted the friendly service, family atmosphere, and play facilities.
Plenty to Keep Children Busy
Families are particularly well catered for at Weiveld Village. The precinct includes indoor and outdoor play spaces, as well as a pump track for bicycles and skateboards. Parents can settle in over a meal while children have more than a token jungle gym to explore.
Padel and pickleball courts give older children and adults another reason to visit, although court bookings and equipment hire cost extra. If you are bringing bicycles or skateboards, contact the venue beforehand to confirm the latest pump-track rules and protective-equipment requirements.
Make a Day of Weiveld Village
Gerry & Co. is only one part of the precinct. Weiveld Sports Bar offers casual meals, drinks, and televised sport, while Elvis Brew covers the coffee stop. Weiveld Village also hosts occasional festivals, rugby screenings, live performances, and community events.
It is worth checking the venue’s social-media pages before visiting because the mood can shift considerably depending on what is happening. One weekend might bring a relaxed family lunch; the next could feature a busy music event with a much livelier crowd.

More Restaurants Around Zwavelpoort
Gerry & Co. sits within a growing dining corridor around Boschkop and Graham roads. Nearby Paralia offers Mediterranean-inspired food in a polished setting at the same intersection, while Die Vlakvark brings a relaxed bushveld atmosphere to Boschkop Road. Clay Café Silver Lakes combines breakfast and lunch with pottery painting and children’s activities, and La Vie Lente Bistro offers a quieter garden setting farther along Graham Road in Tierpoort. Together, these venues make this part of Pretoria East a useful destination for anything from a family outing to a slow Sunday lunch.
Exploring Pretoria’s Eastern Edge
Zwavelpoort and neighbouring Tierpoort have developed a restaurant scene that feels quite different from suburban Pretoria East. The venues tend to have larger grounds, gardens, outdoor seating, play areas, or activities that would be difficult to squeeze into a conventional shopping centre.
You will need a car, though. The venues are spread out along Boschkop and Graham roads, and walking between them is not practical. Their hours can also differ from standard mall trading, with several opening mainly from Wednesday to Sunday.
Spring is an especially good time to head east, when the weather suits outdoor lunches and the drive takes on a little more colour. The Pretoria jacaranda adventures guide has more ideas for turning lunch into a full seasonal outing.
What to Know Before Visiting
Gerry & Co. works best when you treat it as more than a meal stop. Check whether an event or live performance is scheduled, book sports activities separately, and confirm the restaurant’s trading hours before setting out.
Quieter visitors may prefer an earlier sitting or a day without a major event. Families looking for a livelier afternoon can time their visit around sport, music, or one of Weiveld Village’s special activations.
Gerry & Co. suits its surroundings beautifully: relaxed, social, family-friendly, and just far enough from the city rush to feel like a proper outing. Arrive hungry and leave enough time to enjoy everything else happening around the precinct.
