Hawke’s Bay Food Truck Catering That Comes to You, in Style

Gina’s Truck brings made-from-scratch street food to weddings, staff parties, birthdays and outdoor events across Hawke’s Bay. Named after Tom’s grandmother Gina, who could talk to anyone and always left them smiling, the truck carries the same easy warmth and fun personality.

The 1973 Ford Transit was one Tom drove past every day, dreaming of turning it into a food truck. A note in the owner’s mailbox got the build started in 2021, two sons arrived and slowed the timeline a little, and Gina’s finally hit the road in August 2022.

Everything is still made from scratch, including the sauces and flatbreads. Bring Gina’s to your next event for big flavours, flexible menus and a food truck your guests will remember.

Food Truck Menu

Ordering from the truck at your Hawke's Bay event works just like ordering from us any other day. Pick 4 to 5 mains and 2 to 3 sides, mostly sitting around $20 a dish, think Nashville-style wings, birria tacos and Korean beef flatbread, with an invoice to follow after the event.

Walk 'n Fork

Our Walk & Fork option turns Gina’s favourites into smaller, easy-to-eat roaming bites. We generally suggest three to four pieces per person when serving them as a main meal.

It's perfect for cocktail-style weddings, parties and functions in Hawke's Bay where guests will be mingling rather than sitting for a full meal.
