Maitland City Council’s mobile food pilot program Street Eats will incorporate food vans offering a range of different culinary delights at parks in Maitland, Morpeth, East Maitland, Rutherford and Thornton.

The idea came from feedback to council’s Place Activation Strategy, which found that hundreds of locals said they wanted to see food trucks, pop up food and coffee vans bring the streets of Maitland to life.

Council’s place activation officer Amber Hermann said along with interest from the community the food truck operators were also excited by the idea.

“There will be such a broad range of different cuisines on offer there’s bound to be something for everyone,” she said.

“Some event dates will include a single truck, while others will operate as ‘get togethers’ and will feature up to five food operators at the same location."

“These ‘get togethers’ will be happening throughout the three month period and offer a wide range of food including tacos, pizzas, burgers, snags, ribs, vegetarian bowls and super smoothies.”

Dates and locations include:
