New Woodend vegan food truck serves up healthy takeaways

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hey neighbours,

Is there such thing as a healthy Friday night takeaway?

Nolan and Julz McGaw are aiming to prove there is through their new vegan food truck called Planted, which launches on Friday evening in Woodend, North Canterbury.

The McGaws are passionate vegans, but that has not always been the case. Julz McGaw was a dairy farmer and Nolan McGaw was once a meat-fuelled bodybuilder.

Pies, cakes, hot dogs and burgers are all on the food truck menu, but with a healthier vegan twist.

The idea was to provide cheap and easy takeaway options, with less fat.

The food truck officially opens at 73 Main North Rd on Friday, from 4pm to 9pm. It opens at the same location every Thursday and Friday onwards from 4pm to 9pm.

Will you give it a try?
