Food Truck Catering Carlton: Twisted Fisherman Comes to You

Food Truck Catering in Carlton
Carlton doesn't do ordinary, and neither do we. Between the university crowd debating philosophy over coffee, the heritage grandeur of the Royal Exhibition Building, and locals who've eaten their way down Lygon Street twice, this is a suburb that knows good food when it tastes it. That's exactly the market Twisted Fisherman was built for.
Every event gets Melbourne's original seafood food truck, wherever you're hosting in Carlton: a marquee wedding on a private estate, a corporate function down at the university precinct, or a birthday that deserves more than a catering tray. The seafood is strictly local, sourced from Australian and New Zealand waters. The meat runs through our Wood & Bone collaboration, and the condiments are house blends we've spent since 2016 getting right.
Carlton events aren't cut from the same cloth. An academic mixer plays out differently to a wedding at a private estate, so we shape the menu and service style around what's actually happening on the day.

Popular Venues and Locations in Carlton
Carlton's venues run from grand heritage buildings to leafy private gardens, and food truck catering slots into all of them without a fuss.
Common setup locations include: Royal Exhibition Building surrounds, Melbourne University events, Lygon Street precinct functions, and Carlton Gardens events.
There's no commercial kitchen required. Our truck runs self-contained, so all we need is a flat surface, clear access, and either mains power or space to run a generator. We scope the venue during booking and liaise with venue managers ourselves.
What's On The Menu
The Carlton menu leans on what's fresh from our local suppliers that week:
- WA Lobster Roll, our signature dish and always the first to disappear
- Crispy Fish Sliders with chilli mayo
- SA Calamari with house tartare
- Scallop Bruschetta with bacon mayonnaise
- Prawn Gyoza with dipping sauce
- Wagyu beef sliders and smoked meats, via Wood & Bone
- Seasoned chips
Dietary requirements are no trouble at all: gluten free, vegetarian, or allergen specific preparation, just flag it when you book.
