If you’re planning an event in Essendon, Niddrie, Keilor, Strathmore or the surrounding northwest suburbs of Melbourne, choosing the right catering service can make all the difference. At Ember Catering, we specialise in fresh, on-site cooking over real charcoal, bringing a unique and immersive dining experience to your guests. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or private celebration, our mobile catering ensures restaurant-quality food prepared right before your eyes.

The Ultimate Catering Experience in Melbourne’s Northwest

The northwest of Melbourne is home to vibrant communities, stunning parklands, and iconic landmarks such as Maribyrnong Park, the Maribyrnong River, Highpoint Shopping Centre, and Mount Alexander Road. These locations make perfect settings for outdoor celebrations, private functions, and corporate events. With our mobile setup, we can cater in backyards, community halls, wineries, and outdoor parks, providing flexibility without compromising on quality.

Why Fresh, On-Site Cooking is a Game-Changer

Unlike traditional catering options that rely on pre-cooked meals, our approach is all about freshness, flavour, and theatre. Here’s what makes Ember Catering stand out:

1. Theatre of Cooking

Guests don’t just eat—they experience the process. The sight of sizzling meats over glowing embers, the rich aroma of charcoal-grilled food, and the anticipation as dishes are prepared fresh on the spot create an engaging and memorable atmosphere.

2. Unmatched Quality & Freshness

We source high-quality Victorian produce from trusted local suppliers, ensuring every dish is made with premium ingredients. Cooking on-site locks in flavour, juiciness, and texture, so your guests get the best possible dining experience.

3. Customised Catering for Any Event

Whether it’s a casual backyard BBQ in Keilor, an elegant wedding reception in Essendon, or a corporate function near Highpoint, we tailor our menus to suit your event’s style and dietary requirements.

4. Perfect for Outdoor & Private Venues

From the Maribyrnong River parklands to boutique event spaces along Mount Alexander Road, we bring a full catering setup to your chosen location. No kitchen? No problem! Our self-sufficient mobile kitchen allows us to cater in almost any setting.
