BBQ & live fire
BBQ & Live Fire Catering Cooked over open flame.
Elevated outdoor cooking — dry-aged cuts, whole fish, smoked sides and seasonal vegetables finished over open flame in front of your guests.
Live fire is barbecue taken seriously. Rather than trays of pre-cooked food, everything is cooked in front of your guests: dry-aged cuts rested properly, whole fish over embers, seasonal vegetables charred and dressed, and smoked sides built to match.
It suits summer parties, relaxed weddings, milestone birthdays and corporate days where the cooking itself is part of the entertainment. Menus are sharing-led, so guests keep coming back to the table rather than sitting through fixed service.
We cook outdoors across Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent and The Cotswolds and travel further for larger events. We bring our own fire setup — we only need a safe, level outdoor space and somewhere sheltered to prep.
