Plan your visitAbout Cavan Steak Van
Cavan Steak Van turns out heavyweight steak sandwiches straight off the hotplate for long-haul drivers and hungry tradies. Park the rig on the gravel off Port Wakefield Road and step up to the window. No trendy swaps or health bowls here—just toasted white bread loaded with shredded steak, bacon, fried egg, and onions, wrapped in grease paper that works as hard as the kitchen. Grab a paper pack of hot chips, pull up a picnic bench, and unwrap lunch while the highway hums in the background.
- Steak Sandwich with the Lot: Toasted white bread stacked with steak, bacon, fried egg, lettuce, and onions wrapped in grease paper.
- Rig-Friendly Roadside Stop: Spacious gravel parking right on Port Wakefield Road built to accommodate semis, trailers, and oversized rigs.
- Old-School Canteen Fare: A no-frills tuck shop menu focused purely on classic hotplate cooking, burgers, hotdogs, and dim sims.
