🔥 Welcome to Smoking Embers: Live Fire Wedding Catering 🔥
We specialise in authentic, live-fire cooking – merging prehistoric techniques with modern haute cuisine and global flavours. For us, live-fire cooking is an act of love and culinary art.
We love what we do, and we love to share our work with you and your guests.
We transform your reception into a captivating culinary event, offering a depth of flavour and a level of theatre that conventional catering simply cannot match.
We do things a bit differently…
🍽️ Our Signature Style: Rustic, Yet Refined 🍽️
We cook exclusively over open flames, utilizing specific, sustainable fuel sources to create deeply complex flavour profiles. This commitment to elemental technique results in food that is bold, beautifully textured, and intensely flavourful.
- Unplugged Cooking: We use time-honoured methods like rotisserie and ember roasting.
- Flavour Amplified: Intense heat creates the perfect sear, locking in juices and maximizing flavour complexity (the Maillard reaction for any scientists).
- Fire-Kissed Perfection: Rustic charm meets wedding-day sophistication.
✨ The Wedding Experience: Theatre and Scent ✨
Choosing Smoking Embers guarantees a truly immersive and sensory celebration. The spectacle of the open kitchen becomes a stunning focal point, drawing your guests in before they even take a bite.
- Scent of Celebration: Aromas which will have every guest anticipating the feast from the moment they arrive, creating sensory memories that last long after the final bite.
- Culinary Centrepiece: The dynamic, visual theatre of the open flame provides a memorable backdrop for your dinner.
- Interactive Dining: We create dining experiences which encourage guest interaction - transforming the meal into a shared memory.
📝 Trust & Logistics: Seamless Service 📝
While the cooking is primal, our execution is polished, professional, and reliable. We ensure a seamless, stress-free, spectacular dining experience.
- Safety First, Flavour Always: Full health compliance and strict safety protocols for secure fire operation at any suitable venue.
- Designed Around You: We adapt our style—from elegant plated service, interactive carving stations, and our signature steakhouse style sharing dishes—to perfectly match your vision, guest count, and budget.
- Versatility: Our field kitchen can be assembled in almost any location, even completely off-grid if required.

Meet the team
Hi! I'm Jack, and let's be clear: I'm a bit eccentric when it comes to food.
My job is ensuring your wedding food is epic, and I believe the dining experience is just as important as the food itself. Wedding days create the ultimate canvas for creativity and possibilities; I believe that the oldest form of cooking is the purest expression of warmth, connection, and celebration.
My passion for this craft has taken me all over the globe, honing my skills in every possible scenario. I've worked in world famous, meticulous eateries; however, I've also had the immense privilege of feeding gourmet cuisine to events up to 400 people cooking over a rusty burnt-out wheelbarrow with an old fridge back panel grate on top in West Africa. This is why I say: everything and anything is possible.
I personally guarantee the joy we pour into our work will translate into the most memorable and delicious celebration of your life.
