Wedding Catering That Feels Like a Feast, Not a Function
From farm to fire, we cook food that people gather around.
Sometimes that means a wood fired feast, cooked live over flames and served down long tables. Sometimes it means generous grazing tables, full of seasonal food designed for sharing. Most often, it is a combination of both.
What matters is not the format. It is the quality of the food, how it is cooked, and how it is served.
At The Wild Oven, everything we do is built around great ingredients, confident cooking, and food that brings people together.
How Couples Usually Choose to Eat
Most weddings we cater follow a natural rhythm.
It almost always begins with canapés. Thoughtful bites served as guests arrive and settle in. Enough to feel generous, without stealing focus from what comes next.
For the main event, couples usually choose one of two approaches.
A wood fired feast, cooked live over fire. This can be served down long tables in our sharing style, or as a more festival inspired service where guests are drawn towards the fire and the cooking becomes part of the atmosphere.
Or a grazing main, focused entirely on the food itself. Generous feasting tables or side tables layered with artisan cheeses, locally cured meats, breads, and accompaniments (that’s an over long word that I can’t think of a shorter one for). No fire, no theatre, just really good food designed to be shared.
Dessert always comes as a station. Laid out for guests to help themselves, keeping things relaxed and social rather than formal.
As the day moves into the evening, couples choose what suits the mood. Wood fired pizzas when energy is high, or a more relaxed grazing table when people want something easy to come back to between drinks and dancing.
We help you shape this flow so it feels effortless on the day, with food that supports the celebration rather than interrupting it.
Wood-Fired Sharing Feast for Weddings & Events
What can you expect?
Our wood-fired sharing feast is a communal dining experience designed to bring people together.
Long tables, platters arriving hot from the ovens, generous spreads of fire-cooked meats, seasonal vegetables, fresh salads, artisan MOR bread and house-made sides. It’s abundant, relaxed and built for conversation, connection and celebration.
Why it works for weddings and events
• No plated formalities. Just sharing, laughter and bold, memorable flavour
• Wood-fired meats and vegetables cooked over live fire for depth and character
• Perfect for barn weddings, marquee and tipi celebrations and outdoor gatherings

Pickles & Savoury Bites

- Olives – Briny, rich, and irresistibly moreish
Fresh & Seasonal Fruits
A mix of sweet, tart, and refreshing fruits, adding bursts of flavour and colour:
- Grapes & Figs – Naturally sweet to balance the savoury elements and a perfect partner for the cheeses
- Radish & Cherry Tomatoes on the Vine – Crisp and juicy for a fresh bite
- Granny Smith Apples & Large Orange Slices – A bright citrusy lift
