You invited twenty-five people to watch the game, and somewhere in the second half you realise you have spent the afternoon turning sausages. A food truck fixes exactly that.

Why a truck suits a footy party
The truck parks in the driveway or on the street and does all the cooking outside. Guests duck out, order and are back on the couch before the next set of six.
Everything is handheld, so nobody needs a plate on their knee, and there is no pile of dishes waiting on Sunday night.
Timing
01
Start service well before the game and run through the first half, so the queue clears before things get tight.
02
Children eat first and fastest. Small tots keep them happy.
03
That is the base, with sides across about half the group.
04
Position the truck so the queue does not block the view.
