Event catering
Most food truck bookings that go wrong were going to go wrong from the first phone call. These are the questions that surface problems early, with our own answers so you can see what a straight one looks like.
Menu and pricing
Ask for a per-head figure and what it covers. Ours: from $23 per head for a single main, about $28 with sides, and $30 to $35 for the full menu, food only.
Travel should be a separate, visible line. We quote it from our Hebersham base to your venue address.
Get the item list, not adjectives. We serve seven items and confirm fillings and toppings when the booking is finalised.
Listen for honesty. We can make several items vegetarian, and we make no certified halal, vegan or gluten-free claims.
Guest counts move. Ask how changes are handled and get it written into the confirmation.
There should be, before any money changes hands.
Setup and service
A real operator can answer in specifics: level hardstand, clear width and height on the way in, and one fixed position.
We confirm both at booking. With a suitable 15A outlet we plug in; otherwise the truck runs independently.
Ask for a number. Ours is under 90 seconds a ticket, and 120 guests over 2 hours runs smoothly.
We recommend 90 to 120 minutes so nobody queues for long.
We bring the kitchen, crew, food and compostable serving ware. Tables, chairs, shade and drinks are yours.
The caterer should. We pack down and leave the site clean.

What exactly is included. Staff, serving ware, setup, pack down and rubbish removal should all be named in the quote.
As early as you can for popular dates. Spring Saturdays and the weeks before Christmas go first; midweek and daytime bookings are easier to lock in.
On private property the booking is between you, the property owner and us. For parks, reserves and other council land, check with the council or venue about permits before you confirm.
Tables, chairs, shade, decorations, entertainment and alcohol are the host's to arrange. Soft drinks are available from the truck.
