OVERVIEW
Sliders On Tyres brings big flavour, relaxed energy and polished service to weddings across Melbourne and Victoria. Founded by professionally trained chef Owen Scungio, whose career includes experience at the Hyatt and Vue de Monde, Sliders On Tyres combines more than 20 years of hospitality experience with a fun and approachable style of wedding catering.
Owen launched Sliders On Tyres in 2013 after years working through Melbourne’s hotel, restaurant and fine dining scene. The idea was simple. Take the standards, organisation and attention to service learned in professional kitchens and apply them to food that feels relaxed, generous and genuinely enjoyable at a celebration.
The menu is built around food people actually want to eat at a wedding. Think juicy cheeseburger sliders, crispy fried chicken, slow cooked pork, halloumi, fresh canapés, generous sides and familiar classic desserts. Rather than trying to turn street food into fine dining, the focus is on doing simple things really well, using good ingredients, strong flavours and food that guests are excited to come back for.
For couples wanting something beyond the traditional sit down wedding meal, Sliders On Tyres creates a more social style of dining. Guests can grab a slider from the truck, enjoy roaming canapés with a drink, share food around the table or finish the night with something sweet. Menus can be tailored around the flow of the wedding so the food feels like part of the celebration rather than something that interrupts it.
Couples can choose from food truck service, roaming canapés, shared platters and more substantial catering packages. This flexibility allows Sliders On Tyres to cater everything from relaxed garden weddings and warehouse celebrations to larger receptions and late night feeds.
With more than a decade of events behind them, the team understands that wedding catering is about much more than simply putting food on a plate. Timing matters. Presentation matters. Friendly service matters. Most importantly, couples need to know their caterer has everything under control so they can enjoy the day.
