BP New Germany Service Centre (also referred to as BP Express New Germany / BP Shepstone Road) is a 24-hour BP petrol station with a Wild Bean Café and convenience store (including PnP Express elements) at 33 Shepstone Road, The Wolds, New Germany, Pinetown / eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal 3620, South Africa. Phone: +27 31 705 3930.
It offers standard forecourt services (fuel, car wash/jet wash options in the area, ATM/cash facilities, loyalty/rewards programs) plus hot food, coffee, pies, hotdogs, chicken items, snacks, and convenience groceries via the Wild Bean Café and shop. Delivery is available through platforms like Mr D under “BP Express New Germany, The Wolds.”
Bunny Chow Availability
Direct, current confirmation of bunny chow (the classic Durban hollowed-out bread loaf filled with curry—commonly mutton/lamb, chicken, beans, or other fillings) specifically on the menu at this exact BP New Germany site is limited in public online sources.
- General Wild Bean Café / BP Express menus in South Africa frequently list items such as mutton bunny (around R90 in sample pricing), chicken bunny (~R75), beef bunny (~R80), sugar beans bunny (~R49), plus related curry-and-rice or biryani options.
- The visible Mr D delivery menu for this New Germany location emphasizes pies (pepper steak, steak & kidney, etc.), hotdogs, sausage rolls, chicken portions/wings, muffins, donuts, coffee, and convenience items rather than explicitly highlighting bunny chow in the listed categories.
- Many BP sites in the greater Durban / KZN area (especially those with stronger Indian-influenced or local takeaway offerings) do serve bunny chow as a popular quick meal. The standout example is BP Express Chatsworth, which won the Coca-Cola Bunny Chow Challenge / Barometer in 2023 for its version prepared on-site.
Recommendation: Call the station directly on +27 31 705 3930 (or check their Instagram @new_germany_service_centre for recent posts/promotions) to confirm current availability, sizes (quarter/half/full), fillings, spice levels, pricing, and whether it’s prepared fresh or available as takeaway. Menus and stock can vary by site, day, and demand. Opening is effectively 24 hours for the station, though kitchen/hot food hours may be more limited.
