Areas we cover around Newcastle
Newcastle · Lake Macquarie · Maitland · Charlestown · Kotara · Port Stephens
Newcastle is a working city with a beach on one side and a lake on the other: a port, big industrial sites, a university, and suburbs that stretch from Merewether round to Lake Macquarie and out to Maitland. We drive up from Sydney, park on the flat, and serve straight from the truck.
We carry our own power, gas and water, so a yard, a hall or a property with no kitchen is no problem. Pick your cuisine and we handle the rest.
Plants, depots, port operations and warehouses around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. We park on site, feed the shift fast and sort a simple invoice.
Private properties around Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the coast. We set up self contained, feed the room fast, then a late top up if you want one.
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.
Club days, community events with council approval sorted, and big family gatherings in backyards from Charlestown to Maitland.
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 shift changeover or a wedding queue clears fast.

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.
Newcastle sits past our free travel line, which runs about an hour and a half's drive from our base in Lakemba, so there is a travel component on top for the trip up and back. We break it out 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.
Our trucks are 2.5 metres wide and 3.5 metres tall, so we need a gate or driveway 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.
Yes. We bring our cuisine trucks up to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the surrounding areas for workplace lunches, weddings, school days and community events. Newcastle is one of the regional areas we cater.
Yes. Travel is free for any event within about an hour and a half's drive of our base in Lakemba, and Newcastle sits past that line, so events here carry a travel component on top of the catering rate. It covers crew time and fuel for the trip up and back. We itemise it separately, so you see the catering rate and travel cost before you book.
Private property can work well when there is safe access and a flat spot: business car parks, industrial yards, school grounds, backyards and acreage 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.
From $18 per head plus GST, all inclusive, with a minimum of 60 guests, plus the travel component for the trip. 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.
Yes. Newcastle and Lake Macquarie have plenty of big sites, depots and plants, and feeding a shift is a good fit for a food truck: we park on site, serve fast and can time service around a changeover so both crews eat. A single truck comfortably serves 60 to 600 guests and we add a truck for bigger crowds.
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 bush block is no problem. If a truck can fit and park safely, we can cater there.
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.
