Hiring a Food Truck for a Private Party: What to Know

Planning a big birthday, an engagement party, a backyard get-together or a school or club fundraiser? A food truck takes the cooking off your hands, so you can actually enjoy your own party. Here’s what to know before you book one.

Why hire a food truck for a party

  • No time stuck at the barbecue. We cook and serve, you spend time with your guests.
  • It’s a talking point. Guests love watching their food cooked over an open flame right in front of them.
  • It suits all ages. Kids and grandparents alike are happy with a sausage in a bun.
  • No mess in your kitchen. The truck brings its own kitchen and takes it away again.

Parties we cater

  • 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th and other milestone birthdays
  • Engagement parties
  • Backyard and street parties
  • Christmas and New Year parties
  • School, sporting club and community events
  • Farewells, reunions and family get-togethers

Five questions to answer before you book

  1. Where will the truck park? A driveway, a flat section of the yard, a park or a venue car park can all work. Measure gates and check for low branches or wires, and let us know about slopes or soft ground.
  2. How many guests? A rough number is fine for a quote.
  3. When should food be served? Most parties have one main serving window. Tell us when you want it.
  4. Any dietary needs? Our sausages are gluten free and made from 100% Australian free range pork. Let us know about any other requirements.
  5. Is it a weekday or the weekend? Our minimum spend is $1,200 Monday to Friday and $2,000 on Saturday and Sunday.

If the party is at a venue or park

Some venues, councils and parks have their own rules about food vendors. It’s worth checking with them early. Tell us where your party is and we’ll let you know what we need.
