Food and Drinks menu

While HUT DOGS are our most famous dish, we also offer a variety of other items such as slow-cooked Brisket, Pulled Pork, Schnitzels, pretzels, and various salads, sides, and dessert options. We can also design custom menus (see below).

Furthermore, we are a full-service one-stop shop event service provider, offering mobile bar catering, event planning and management, hire equipment, decorations, entertainment, and more.

Yes, we offer customised menu options. We’ll work with you to create a menu that suits your taste, budget and event theme.

Yes, we can provide both non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages (NSW only) drinks. Ask us about our beverage options, e.g., lemonade stands, craft beer offerings, and great-looking mobile pop-up bars.

Absolutely. All our HUT DOG packages always include vegan/ vegetarian options. We also offer gluten-free bread rolls. Just let us know how many PAXs you would like us to cater, and we will include gluten-free options in our quote.

Most of our packages are “all you can eat” meaning you pay a set price for your guest count and don’t need to worry about anything else.

We ensure we have enough food – even for starving crowds. We have the skills and experience and know how much to bring and prepare!

We understand that the “all you can eat” option doesn’t work for some events. If that applies to your event, please email us at info@hutdogs.com.au to discuss a custom offer.

We prioritise using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to ensure the highest quality and support local suppliers. All our sausages are free-range, premium quality and free from gluten, artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives.

We certainly do! Please note that a minimum order value applies.

HUT DOG stand, bump-in and requirements

We offer two options:

  1. Drop off packages
  2. Serviced catering with staff and stand.

The “drop off packages” are an option if everyone eats at the same time (like a noon staff lunch). We drop off a DIY (build your own) HUT DOG package with all ingredients (hot + cold) and your staff can make their own Gourmet HUT DOGS.

If not, everyone eats simultaneously (and also recommended for larger events above 60 pax). We recommend booking one of our HUT DOG stands – with hot holding equipment included.

For a flat fee of $250, we provide a great-looking HUT DOG stand (suitable for inside and outside) with sufficient staff for up to 2h service. Our staff then makes each HUT DOG freshly for your guests.

We are fast and can serve 350-400 guests/hour (more if required). We have done lunch service for 1,000 but can do more if needed.

We usually need approximately 2.5 x 2.5m of space, depending on the services you booked with us, but we have a variety of setups and can fit into smaller spaces.

No. We cook the food in our commercial kitchen and bring it hot. We can set up inside your office or indoor venues without triggering smoke alarms or sprinkler systems. We do not generate any smoke or excessive heat.

Yes, we have a variety of HUT DOG stands/pop-up stations and virtually work anywhere, including complex access sites. A surcharge may apply for additional logistics required.

We need access to two separate 10A (standard plug) power outlets for indoor events. As for outdoor events, we prefer electricity, but we can work around it if there is no access to it. We carry sufficient extension leads in our vans. Water is nice to have but not a necessity.

No, you don’t need to worry about a thing. We will always bring napkins, plates, and cutlery (all premium biodegradable).

Yes, we do. We offer many branding options for our HUT DOG stands, pop-up stations and bars. This option is ideal for trade shows, product promotions, open days and other corporate events but is also an excellent idea for private events such as Bar Mitzvahs or weddings.

Logistics and Booking
