When we first talked about food trucks back in 2013, they were novel, and barely any existed. But nowadays? Every State has so many amazing food trucks and food carts to cater your wedding. Today, thanks to a month of all things food for The Feast Issue? We’re talking Tasmanian food trucks. We’ve got caterers who honour local Tasmanian produce, coffee carts (just right for cold winter weddings if you ask us) and everything in between.
We’re a big fan of having a food truck complement more traditional catering too – think a midnight appearance by a van with sour cream-laden potatoes and ice cream, or a post-ceremony drink!
Wattlebanks Catering offers up restaurant-quality dishes, focused on locally sourced produce – from their food truck. Think local Tassie oysters, Tasmanian salmon blinis, Tasmania fish & chips and even Tasmanian braised lamb. See their wedding service here.
We love the idea of this next truck, Tangaroa Kai Strictly Seafood serves up fresh seafood delights – like amazing fish and chips!
Piping hot doughnuts is the name of the game for Little Devil Donuts. This travelling doughnut van serves up doughnut delights with flavoured (think salted caramel or chocolate) dipping sauces for your guests. Their machine can produce a whopping 1200 doughnuts an hour! Meet them here.
Tacos are my favourite so if I lived in Tassie, Taco Taco would be top of my list! This Mexican inspired food truck offers up three packages for weddings and events, including an all you can eat Mexican feast. Chat to them here.
Pork belly, tender beef, crispy chicken – the bao options from food truck Chan Bao Food Van are endless and delicious. This food truck focuses on Taiwanese style bao and it does it well (but they also serve buffalo wings and popcorn chicken so your guests get a rounded meal!)
I’ve got a craving for poutine and Big Henrys Food Truck is first on my list to help me out. On the menu is Philly Cheese, smashed cheeseburgers and of course that aforementioned poutine Delish! Meet them here.
Serve up Tasmania’s coffee by bringing Little Bean Coffee to your wedding. The little truck serves up delicious coffee, chai, hot chocolate and plenty of sweet treats.
Love the idea of Asian style pancakes? Korean fried chicken? Steamed bao? Meet Munchies Street Food. Their tasty Asian inspired menu, which, as they say, goes down a treat with beer is street food street-side style.
Shred Burgers & Shimmy Shakes is for the classics – there are burgers, there are shakes and of course, there are fries. But the gem of this beauty is its silver airstream vehicle. They’ll even serve up dessert- classic icecream sundaes of course!
For something different, Turkish Tukka dishes up delicious Turkish style cuisine. Kebabs, pide, chips, salads and plenty of treats for a delicious wedding menu and a fresh take on your standard burger fare.
I really cannot understand how a food truck serving cupcakes could ever be a bad thing, especially when it’s bright, AND hot pink like Liggabuff. This sweet van serves you delicious cupcake treats in plenty of wedding-worthy flavours.
Eat Me Happy is the most Kermit of green vans that will add a little brightness to your wedding. Serving up fan favourites like nachos, burgers and even salads. Oh, and they specialise in gluten-free catering, so if you want to serve your guests gluten-free brownies or pancakes? They can help you out!
A nautical inspired converted bus, Sailor Food Truck serves up delicious fish and chip and seafood style offerings. Think fish and chips, of course alongside salt and pepper calamari, tempura prawns, ginseng battered Tasmanian scallops and southern style buttermilk chicken burgers and sticky char-grilled ribs.
Burger Junkie isn’t really for the faint-hearted – it’s for the burger obsessed. Three patties are just the beginning for this food truck who is known for their insane burger offerings. Oh, and they also offer up gourmet hot dogs and incredible loaded fries. If a wedding day isn’t cheat day, when is?
If there were prizes for bright and beautiful food trucks, Haddo’s Hot Dogs would totally win, This smoked hotdog van offers up your old favourites in a new gourmet way. Think flavours like harissa, with black sesame and pomegranate molasses, cream cheese with dill and potato chips. Oh, and of course, their take on the classic! Chat to them here.

Burgers, chips and shakes are always a favourite and Mr Burger knows why, offering up gourmet versions of your favourites as well as time-honoured classics. Check out their function info here.
Serve up our drinks in sparkling style with Silver Bean Events. This silver airstream accompanies the catering team and is pretty enough to take centre stage. The team doesn’t just stop at drinks though, the team themselves can cater your entire feast with three courses or something more casual.
When you meet Tassie Sweet and Savoury Stix you need to keep one thing in mind – it’s all about the stix! From churros for dessert to potato twists for dinner – old favourites you know your guests will love.
Good old fish and chips are on the menu with Kerbside Chippy’s. This van offering up everything your love from your local fish and chip shop, along with dressings (chips with sour cream? Yes please!).
We love how Cool Tassie Rolls makes icecream even more fun! The team craft their icecream themselves and roll it right in front of you (how is that for a little theatre?). You can choose from 24 flavours. Packages start at $149. Chat to them here.
Serve up baked potatoes – all gluten-free with vegan options thanks to Little Mr Potato Head. The spuds are Tasmanian, of course, and can be dished up with anything from cream cheese, jalapenos and coleslaw to three-bean chilli.
