WOODFIRED

CANTEEN 

Give us somewhere to cook,

We’ll find a way

Whether it’s at our place in an old garage in Mount Hawke, a woodland clearing or a
grand manor house.
If you can visualise it, we can make it happen.

We cook for all kinds of occasions, from intimate gatherings and private parties to festivals, corporate events and larger celebrations.

Off-grid, live-fire kitchen

We cook off-grid, bringing the theatre of our live-fire kitchen wherever we go.
Cooking over flames, feeding groups of all sizes and creating food that feels at home wherever the party is.

Seasonal, sustainable, Family style

We cook with the seasons, building menus around what arrives from local farms and suppliers. It all goes down the middle of the table, family-style.

Because for us, food is about so much more than what’s on the plate. It’s about bringing people together around it.

Whether you’re planning a small gathering or a much bigger celebration, casual or formal, we bring our kitchen, our team and our way of cooking with us.

FAQs

  • Yes. We have years of experience catering for weddings. For more information, visit Woodfired Weddings.

  • No, but we do have to cover fixed costs. As an idea, our ball park costs start at 65 guests. Anything under these numbers may be more per head to cover the fixed costs.

  • Yes, we take this very seriously. Connecting with food is what we do, so the idea it would harm someone biologically or spiritually means that we want to get this right. You will let us know your list of allergens and dietaries alongside the seating plan and we will write a menu for them and introduce ourselves to them on the day.

  • For the right event we are willing to travel anywhere in the world.

  • The cost includes all food, crockery, cutlery, travel within Cornwall, equipment and staffing. You may ask us to help you hire glassware, refrigeration for your drinks and linen - this would be in addition.
