Down the coast

Food truck catering across Wollongong and the Illawarra.

The Illawarra is a strip of coast with the escarpment at its back, and it packs a lot in: a university city, heavy industry around Port Kembla, beach suburbs from Thirroul down to Kiama, and plenty of properties up in the hills behind. We drive down from Sydney, park on the flat, and serve straight from the truck.

We carry our own power, gas and water, so a hall, a paddock or a coastal block with no kitchen is no problem. Pick your cuisine and we handle the rest.

Events we do here

Events in Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama.

Coastal and escarpment weddings

Private properties from Thirroul to Kiama and up into the hills behind Wollongong. We set up self contained, feed the room fast, then a late top up if you want one.

Industrial and workplace lunches

Depots, industrial yards and warehouses around Port Kembla, Unanderra and Dapto. We park on site, feed the shift and sort a simple invoice.

School and campus days

End of year days, sports carnivals and fundraisers at schools across the region, plus campus events. We park on the grounds and keep the line moving.

Big family gatherings

Birthdays, christenings and engagement parties in Illawarra backyards. The truck handles the food so you can enjoy your own party.

Menus

Menus for properties, workplaces and schools.

We run four trucks across six cuisines, so there is something for every kind of crowd. Birdman Korean fried chicken, low and slow American BBQ, Abu with all halal snack packs and kebabs cooked over the flame, Tex Mex tacos, Nillas Belgian frites and pizza. We also do breakfast as an added offering, which suits an early shift or a morning school event.

Everything on the snack pack truck is all halal, and we can do gluten free wraps on request. Our snack packs are gluten free, though our trucks handle gluten across the menu so we cannot guarantee zero cross contact. We usually get about three orders out every 60 seconds depending on the menu, so a lunch rush or a wedding queue clears fast.

Pricing

Pricing, minimums and a transparent travel component.

Pricing starts from $18 per head plus GST, all inclusive, with a minimum of 60 guests. Weekend bookings have a $2,500 plus GST minimum. Most events land between $18 and $35 per head plus GST for the catering depending on the menu and event style. The per head rate covers the staff, setup and pack down, with a clear GST tax invoice afterwards.

Travel is free for any event within about an hour and a half's drive of our base in Lakemba, which takes in Wollongong, Thirroul and Dapto on a normal run. Further south down the coast it can tip past that line, so we check the exact address and break out any travel component separately, so you can see the catering rate and travel cost side by side before you book.

On numbers, a single truck comfortably serves 60 to 600 guests. We add a truck only when you ask, or for events above about 500. Want a feel for the figures first? Our pricing guide walks through it.

Access

Access for coastal blocks, halls and industrial sites.

Our trucks are 2.5 metres wide and 3.5 metres tall, so we need a driveway or gate that clears that, ideally with 3.7 metres or more overhead, and a flat, safe spot to park. The landowner or venue needs to confirm the site can be used for the event. Send us a Google pin of the spot and we check access on the map before the day.

Public or council land, like a park, reserve, street or footpath, needs approval first, and beach and foreshore spots fall into the same category, so we cannot just pull up on public space and start serving. Our trucks are council approved with many NSW councils and we help with the paperwork, so a public event is still very doable. Tell us where you are thinking and we will check what your spot needs.

FAQ

Illawarra questions, answered.

Do you provide food truck catering in Wollongong and the Illawarra?

Yes. We bring our cuisine trucks down the coast to Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Thirroul, Dapto and Port Kembla for weddings, workplace lunches, school days and community events. It is a regular run for us.

Is there a travel fee for Wollongong events?

Often not. Travel is free for any event within about an hour and a half's drive of our base in Lakemba, which takes in Wollongong, Thirroul and Dapto on a normal run. Further south towards Shellharbour and Kiama it can tip past the line, so we check the exact address and itemise any travel component in the quote, so you see the catering rate and travel cost before you book.

Where can you set up around the Illawarra?

Private property can work well when there is safe access and a flat spot: backyards, acreage, business car parks, industrial yards and school grounds are all options. The landowner or venue needs to confirm the site can be used for the event. Public spaces like parks, reserves, streets, footpaths, beaches and foreshore spots need council approval first. Our trucks are council approved with many NSW councils and we help with the food truck paperwork.

How much does Illawarra catering cost?

From $18 per head plus GST, all inclusive, with a minimum of 60 guests, plus any travel component for the location. Weekend bookings have a $2,500 plus GST minimum. Most events land between $18 and $35 per head plus GST for the catering itself depending on the menu. The per head rate covers the staff, setup and pack down, with a clear GST tax invoice afterwards.

Can you cater a wedding on the coast or in the escarpment?

Yes. Our trucks are fully self contained with their own power, gas and water, so a coastal property, a hall with no kitchen or a block up in the escarpment is no problem. If a truck can fit and park safely, we can cater there.

Do you cater industrial and workplace sites around Port Kembla and Dapto?

We do. Big workforces at industrial sites, depots and warehouses across the Illawarra suit a food truck well: we park on site, serve the shift fast and leave a simple invoice. We can time service around a shift change so both crews get fed.

Can you provide halal and gluten free options?

Yes. Everything on our snack pack truck is all halal. We are not formally halal certified, and we are upfront about that. Our snack packs are gluten free and we can do gluten free wraps on request, though our trucks handle gluten across the menu so we cannot guarantee zero cross contact.
