Food truck and street-food catering can bring a casual, high-energy feel to outdoor events, office gatherings and late-night wedding food. Ottawa Catering helps hosts share site access, timing and guest count so mobile caterers can assess what is realistic.

Food truck catering suits outdoor weddings, festivals, workplace events, school functions, backyard parties, community events and late-night snacks where guests can order or pick up food casually.
Mobile catering may involve parking lots, parks, brewery patios, rural venues, private driveways, campuses or event sites where permits, power, water, generators and parking permissions must be confirmed.
Options can include food trucks, BBQ trailers, mobile pizza ovens, taco carts, poutine, burgers, coffee carts, dessert trucks, ice cream, late-night snacks or street-food stations set up without a full truck.
Costs depend on minimum spend, travel, service time, menu type, staffing, permits, generator needs and whether food is sold individually or prepaid for guests.
Ask about minimums, service speed, parking footprint, power needs, permits, rain plans, waste handling, menu limits and whether guests order at the truck or receive a planned menu.
Confirm that your venue or municipality allows mobile food service before booking. Share a site photo, parking plan and expected serving window so caterers can flag access issues early.
A food truck can be well suited to an outdoor Ottawa gathering, but the serving window matters as much as the guest count. Ask how long your selected menu would take to serve the whole group. A small event with one short break may be harder to accommodate than a larger event with staggered arrivals.
A limited event menu can make ordering easier. Discuss whether guests choose at the window, use meal tickets or submit selections in advance, and how additional portions are charged.
Send photographs or a site plan showing the parking spot, entry route and guest queue. Have the venue confirm that the truck can operate in that location.

Requirements vary by site and event type. Ask the caterer and venue what permits, permissions or insurance documents are needed for the exact location.
Capacity depends on menu speed, truck setup and serving window. Share the guest count and timeline so the caterer can estimate whether one truck is enough.
