Is there food and drink available at the show?

The Brisbane Truck Show features plenty of options for a coffee, a beer, a snack or a good hearty meal. 

There are cafes located at the back of each of the main halls. Merivales Café is situated on the Ground Floor behind the escalators. Olio’s is located at the Grey St entrance and there is a café serving kid friendly food in the family zone. There are baristas located strategically all around the venue (and on quite a number of exhibitors stands). 

Most importantly, the Plaza Terrace is located on the Plaza level. If you haven’t been there before it’s time you did. This must be one of the best known meeting places in Australia for the transport industry, even though it’s only open every two years. If you can’t find your mate in the exhibition halls, that’s because they’ve found a cosy corner to have a yarn on the Plaza Terrace. 

Please note the BCEC is a cashless venue.
