Chuck Wagon Food Village

Chuck Wagon Food Village is an outdoor food-truck hub at 7 Station Street in Pakenham, a two-minute walk from the train station. With communal picnic tables in an open courtyard, dogs are welcome to come along for a casual dinner.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard and must stay on a lead. Seating is communal picnic tables, so there is plenty of room to bring a dog along. The whole venue is open-air and casual, which suits dogs well. Staff are accommodating; bring your own water bowl.

Good to know. A rotating line-up of food trucks covers BBQ, burgers and bao buns, with popular picks including the butter chicken burger, pulled pork burger and ribs. It is a lively, relaxed spot, typically open Thursday to Sunday evenings from around 5pm to 9pm.

Getting there. It is right across from Pakenham Train Station, a two-minute walk, with free parking nearby, so it is one of the easier Pakenham spots to reach without a car.

Nearby with the dogs. The railway reserve and nearby suburban paths suit a quick leashed walk before or after dinner.
