Event Catering Services in Melbourne

Twisted Fisherman is Melbourne's original seafood food truck — established in 2016 by Chef Mirko, now operating across every inner suburb and well into the outer ring. The truck is a full commercial kitchen on wheels: premium Australian and New Zealand seafood cooked to order, Wagyu burgers and smoked meats sourced from Blackmore, Sher and Borrowdale farms, and a condiment range — bacon mayonnaise, saffron kewpie, house tartare — formulated specifically for the menu.

We've catered the Formula 1, Moomba, the St Kilda Festival, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. We do intimate backyard birthdays just as well. The format scales; the quality doesn't move.

What catering services does Twisted Fisherman offer?

We offer three core services across Melbourne and the outer suburbs: food truck catering where guests order hot food straight from the window, cocktail-style finger food served roaming, and set menus or shared feasts for seated events. All three run on the same kitchen, the same chefs and the same premium Australian produce.

Mix them if you like. Canapes on arrival, truck service for mains, late-night fish and chips when the dance floor needs fuel. Your event, your call.

Wedding and Engagement Catering

Your wedding caterer should be the least of your worries and the best of your reviews. We’ve fed weddings from Yarra Valley vineyards to backyard ceremonies in the outer east. The truck becomes part of the day: guests gather, order, talk, and eat food that was cooked forty seconds ago.

Couples usually start with our wedding and engagement catering page, then build a menu with us over a call. Lobster rolls at golden hour photograph extremely well, just saying. For the full case for trucks over function centres, read why smart couples are booking food trucks.

Corporate Catering

Office parties, product launches, EOFY celebrations, client days. We’ve catered for companies like Canva and events at the Royal Exhibition Building, and we know the corporate brief: food that impresses without fuss, service that runs on time, dietaries handled without drama.

See corporate food truck catering for formats, or our guide to corporate catering in Melbourne for planning advice.

Parties, Birthdays and Private Functions

Birthdays, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, engagement parties and any excuse worth gathering for. Party catering is where the truck shines: zero stress for the host, theatre for the guests, and a menu that suits everyone from the seafood purist to the kid who only eats chips.

Christmas and End-of-Year Functions

December in Melbourne is a contact sport for caterers. Our Christmas party catering books out months early because a food truck turns the standard office Christmas party into an actual event. Booking advice and dates: our Christmas catering guide.

Festivals and Public Events

Ten seasons of high-volume service: Formula 1 Grand Prix, Moomba, St Kilda Festival, Midsumma, Firelight Festival, Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, Carols by Candlelight. If your event needs thousands fed fast without dropping quality, that is our home turf.

Festivals and Public Events

Three steps. Tell us your date, location, guest count and the vibe you’re after. We send a tailored menu and quote, usually within two business days. You confirm, we arrive, your guests eat well. Start at the contact page or call 0448 884 864.

Why Melbourne Keeps Booking Us Back


Because the food is the point. A decade on the road across Melbourne's biggest events has taught us that guests remember two things: who they talked to and what they ate. We look after the second one.

    Named-farm provenance on every protein. We can tell you exactly where it came from.

    Cooked on site, to order — not reheated, not pre-plated.

    10 years of high-volume Melbourne event experience. F1 scale, backyard sensibility.

    Self-contained truck. No kitchen access required, no hire fees on top.

    Fully insured. Public liability covered. Council-compliant wherever we operate.

SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL INDUSTRY

FAQ 

Can you cater both canapes and main meals at one event? Yes, and it’s our most popular format. Cocktail finger food during arrivals and speeches, then truck service or shared feasts for mains.

Do you handle dietary requirements? All of them: vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, halal-friendly options and allergies. Tell us at booking and every guest eats properly.

Is there a minimum guest count? Around 30 guests for private events. There’s no practical maximum; we’ve fed festival crowds in the thousands.

Do you need power or water on site? No. The truck is self-sufficient. We need flat access and parking space roughly the size of two car spots.

Can we taste the food before booking a wedding? Yes. We arrange tastings for confirmed wedding enquiries. Ask when you get in touch.
