Food truck catering for open days and orientation.

An open day is your school putting its best foot forward, and the little touches are the ones families remember. A food truck parked on the grounds does a lot of quiet work here. It smells great, it gives people a reason to slow down and stay a while, and it turns a walk-around into a proper visit. Picture a Saturday open day with a couple of hundred prospective families filing through. Instead of a trestle table and a cold sausage roll, there is a truck cooking fresh, and the whole place feels alive.

It works just as well for orientation days, transition mornings and information evenings. Pick from five cuisines, from Korean fried chicken to tacos to loaded frites, and we will shape it around your families and your budget.

Something for everyone

Menus for students, parents and staff.

Crowd-pleasers for all ages

Korean fried chicken, American BBQ, Tex-Mex tacos and Belgian frites go down a treat with kids and grown-ups alike. Easy to eat on the move while families wander the grounds.

All-halal snack packs

Everything on our snack pack truck is all halal, with kebabs cooked over the flame. A welcoming choice that lets every family eat together at your event.

Dietary needs covered

Vegetarian and vegan options across the fleet, plus gluten free snack packs and gluten free wraps on request. Our trucks handle gluten, so we cannot promise zero cross contact, and we say so plainly.

Tailored to your day

A lighter snack-style menu for a short morning, or something more substantial if families are staying for a while. Tell us the shape of the day and we will match the menu to it.

Built around your run sheet

Planning service around arrival times.

Open days have a rhythm. There is a rush at the gate as families arrive, a quieter stretch while tours are running, then another wave as people drift back to the main area. We plan around that. We arrive early, set up well before your first families turn up, and have the truck ready to go the moment the gates open. We usually serve in under 60 seconds an order, depending on the menu, so even a busy arrivals window keeps moving and nobody waits long for a first taste of the school.

A single truck comfortably serves 60 to 600 guests, which covers the vast majority of school open days with room to spare. We only add a truck when you ask, or for the really big days above about 500. Send us your running order and we will build the service window to fit it.

Clear, all inclusive pricing

School pricing, minimums and quote timing.

School catering starts from $15 per head, all inclusive, with a minimum of 60 guests. One price covers the truck, the cooking on site, the serving staff and the equipment, so there are no surprises for your finance team to chase down later. There is no metro travel fee. For regional NSW there is a transparent travel component, and anything interstate we quote case by case.

Send through your date, your expected numbers and the rough timing of the day, and we will usually have a clear quote back to you within the hour. Popular open day dates do book out, so the earlier you reach out, the easier it is to hold your spot.

Easy to approve

WWCC, insurance and school access.

Working With Children Check

Our team holds a Working With Children Check through Service NSW, and we can supply the details to your admin before the day so the paperwork is sorted early.

$20M public liability

We carry $20M public liability insurance and will hand over a certificate of currency, along with our food safety paperwork, for your records.

Straightforward grounds access

On school property we just need a level spot with safe access. Our trucks are council approved with many NSW councils, and if any approval is needed we will help with the paperwork.

No cleanup for staff

We are self-contained with our own power and water, and we pack down and leave the grounds as we found them. Your team has enough on for the day already.

FAQ

Open day questions, answered.

Can you cater a school open day?

Yes, open days are right in our wheelhouse. A food truck parked on the grounds gives prospective families a warm first impression the moment they arrive, and it gives current students and staff something to gather around between tours. We set up on site, serve fast, and pack down without leaving a mess for your team.

How much does school open day catering cost?

School catering starts from $15 per head, all inclusive, with a minimum of 60 guests. Where you land in that range depends on the menu and the day, and the price covers the truck, the staff, the equipment and the cooking on site. Send us your expected numbers and your timing, and we will usually have a clear quote back to you within the hour.

Can you serve families as they arrive?

Yes, and that is often the best way to run it. We usually serve in under 60 seconds an order, depending on the menu, so families can grab a bite as they come through the gate without a long queue forming. We plan service around your arrival flow so the truck is busiest when the crowd is, then eases off during the tours.

Can you cater orientation days?

Absolutely. Orientation days, information evenings and transition mornings all work the same way. We line up the service window with the part of the day when families are mingling, so the food adds to the friendly feel rather than holding anything up. Tell us the running order and we will build a run sheet to match it.

Do your staff have Working With Children Check?

Yes. Our team holds a Working With Children Check through Service NSW, and we can supply the details to your school admin ahead of the day. We also carry $20M public liability insurance and will hand over a certificate of currency along with our food safety paperwork.

What menus work best for school families?

Crowd-pleasers that suit all ages tend to work best on an open day. Korean fried chicken, American BBQ, Tex-Mex tacos, Belgian frites and all-halal snack packs and kebabs all go down well with kids and parents alike. We will help you pick a menu that fits your families and your budget.

Can you cater dietary requirements?

We can. Every truck carries vegetarian and vegan options, and our snack pack truck is all halal. Snack packs are gluten free, we can do gluten free wraps on request, and because our trucks handle gluten we cannot guarantee zero cross contact, so we are always upfront about that. Send us the requirements and we will plan the menu around them.

How quickly can we get a quote?

Quickly. Once you send through your date, your expected numbers and the rough timing of the day, we will usually have a clear, all inclusive quote back to you within the hour. Open day dates can book out, so the earlier you get in touch the easier it is to lock in your spot.
