Food Trucks in the Wairarapa

The Wairarapa is over the Remutaka hill from Wellington, which is exactly why it is treated as its own region here — a Wellington business is a ninety-minute drive away, not a local one. Say the town and NovaPay asks the businesses that are.

Say the town in your request. NovaPay asks businesses working near it first rather than the whole region, so the quotes you get back are from people who will actually come.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do Wellington businesses come over the hill?
Some will for a big job and few will for a small one — the Remutaka road is the reason. NovaPay treats the Wairarapa as its own area rather than assuming a Wellington business covers it, so you are asking people who actually work there.
How is it priced?
Usually a minimum spend or a per head rate, sometimes with a travel charge. Ask which, because a minimum spend on a small guest list works out very differently from a per head price.
What do they need on site?
Access for the truck, level ground and often power, though many carry a generator. Say what the site is like in your request, since it is the thing most likely to rule a truck out.
What if it rains?
Trucks serve in the rain; your guests queue in it. Think about shelter for the queue rather than for the truck, and ask what they have done at similar sites.
Can they cover dietaries?
Most carry at least a vegetarian option and many do gluten free, but a single truck has a small menu by nature. Say the requirements up front so you are matched with one that can.
