    Questions people actually ask

    See all questions

    Is it really free?

    Yes. No ticket, no cover. You only pay the trucks.

    Do I need to bring a chair?

    No, we set out tables and chairs. Bring your own if you prefer it.

    Can I bring my dog?

    Service animals and dogs are welcome, but we ask that dogs are kept away from the trucks preparing food.

    What if it rains?

    We run in light rain. If the forecast turns genuinely nasty we call it by the prior day. We post updates on our social media, so make sure you are following us.

    Is there beer?

    Beer and wine from the licensed garden on the south side, 21 and over with ID.

    Card or cash?

    Most trucks accepts both, but we reccomend double checking before ordering.
