About Us
From a humble food truck to one of Christchurch’s favourite catering experiences, The Vagabond Chefs bring bold flavours, creative dishes, and unforgettable moments to every event.
From Our Truck To Your Table
Some stories begin in a kitchen. Ours began on the streets. Back in 2015, armed with a food truck, a passion for bold flavours, and a belief that great food brings people together, The Vagabond Chefs hit the road. Every market, festival, and late-night service taught us something new. Every queue that formed beside the truck reminded us why we started. What has never changed is our love for creating food that people remember. From fluffy bao and loaded fries to vibrant tacos and beautifully crafted event menus, every dish carries a little piece of our journey. Today, we’ve grown beyond the food truck, catering weddings, corporate events, backyard celebrations, and everything in between. But our heart is still the same: cooking fresh, serving with personality, and creating moments where strangers become friends over incredible food.
We’re not just feeding people. We’re helping celebrate milestones, bringing families together, and turning ordinary gatherings into unforgettable experiences. To everyone who’s stopped by the truck, booked us for an event, recommended us to a friend, or simply shared a meal with us—thank you. You’ve been part of this adventure from the very beginning. Here’s to the next chapter, more roads to travel, more stories to tell, and many more plates filled with bold flavours. The journey continues.
