Ways to Gather
From the first spark to the final plate, we create relaxed, fire-cooked experiences that bring people together. However you choose to gather, we'll make it unforgettable.

Whether you're drawn to the theatre of live fire cooking from our Defender Kitchens or the relaxed abundance of artisan grazing, every Wild Oven experience is designed around connection.
Choose the style that best suits your occassion.
Defender Kitchen
Fire at the Heart of Your Celebration
The Defender Kitchen is where The Wild Oven began.
Our bespoke Land Rover kitchen allows us to cook over live fire in almost any setting, transforming catering into part of the entertainment. Guests naturally gather around the flames as our chefs prepare every dish fresh before their eyes, creating an atmosphere that simply can't be recreated behind the doors of a traditional catering trailer.
Once you've chosen the Defender Kitchen, there are two ways to feast. With a Seated Feast or Festival Feast.
Seated Feast
Our signature sharing experience.
Wood-fired dishes are served to the centre of each table on generous platters, encouraging guests to slow down, serve one another and enjoy the occasion together.
Ideal for couples who love relaxed dining without compromising on exceptional food.
Festival Feast
Relaxed. Interactive. Unforgettable.
Guests gather around the Defender Kitchen as dishes are freshly cooked over fire and served throughout service, allowing everyone to eat, mingle and celebrate at their own pace.
Perfect for creating a vibrant atmosphere where the cooking becomes part of the occasion.
Grazing
Beautifully Styled. Generously Shared.
Our grazing experiences celebrate abundance.
Overflowing with artisan cheeses, carefully selected charcuterie, local produce and handcrafted accompaniments, every grazing display is designed to become part of the celebration itself.
Whether welcoming guests, creating an impressive table centrepiece or delivering beautifully prepared boxes ready to enjoy, there's a grazing style for every occasion.
Grazing Styles
Table Grazing
Beautiful grazing boards served directly to each table.
Designed to encourage sharing, conversation and a wonderfully relaxed style of dining.
Grazing Station
A spectacular grazing display that naturally becomes the heart of the room.
Perfect for welcome drinks, networking events and celebrations where guests can graze throughout the day.
Ready to Gather
Thoughtfully prepared grazing boxes filled with artisan produce and ready to enjoy wherever the occasion takes you.
Ideal for meetings, picnics, celebrations and corporate events.
More than a meal
It isn't just the food.
It's the smell of wood smoke drifting through the air.
The anticipation as dishes emerge from the fire.
The conversations that begin around a grazing table.
The laughter shared over generous platters.
The warmth of genuine hospitality.
Because the most memorable celebrations aren't remembered for what was served. They're remembered for how they brought people together.
FAQs
Can we combine different feasting styles?
Of course. Our feasting and grazing styles are designed to work together. You might welcome guests with canapes, enjoy a Seated Feast for your main meal, then serve a Grazing Table, Festival Feast or Ready to Gather later in the evening. We'll help you create the perfect flow for your celebration.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. We regularly cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and other dietary requirements without compromising on flavour or presentation.
How many guests can you cater for?
From intimate celebrations to large scale weddings and corporate events, our feasting styles can be tailored to suit gatherings of all sizes.
Which feasting style is right for our event?
It all depends on the atmosphere you want to create. A Seated Feast is perfect for relaxed, shared dining, while a Festival Feast encourages guests to mingle and gather around the fire. Our grazing styles can complement either experience or stand alone. We'll help you choose the combination that best suits your venue, guests and celebration.
