Our service includes delicious hot dogs for all your guests, either on a one-each basis or with the option to upgrade to all-you-can-eat. The price also covers travel to your venue and professional staffing to ensure everything runs smoothly.

  • Booking early is recommended, certainly if your event is planned for the spring and summer months. However, if we’re available and have stock, we’ll likely be able to make it happen. To ensure a smooth and hassle-free operation, we recommend booking at least a week in advance. Oh, and Christmas is also a busy period, so if you have something festive planned, be sure to enquire early!

  • Bad weather on the day of the event is no problem. We can provide delicious hot dogs come rain or shine!

  • Yes, we can provide a vegan hot dog but due to cross-contamination we’re not able to offer gluten-free options.

  • We serve our hot dogs without disposable trays, cutting down on unnecessary waste. Our small ingredient inventory helps minimise food waste, and our efficient logistics all help to reduce our overall environmental impact. Learn more about our eco policy.
