Weddings

Weddings can be stressful to plan when each element of the day needs to come together perfectly. At With Fire, we’re a knowledgeable, reliable Hampshire wedding caterer, who can offer you different menus tailored to anything from the number of guests to your theme. We also work alongside other local caterers who can help you create the feast you want, including the Gourmet Hog Roast Hampshire team. They offer authentic hog roast catering, served by skilled chefs.

We work in many different types of venue across the area, including hotels, golf clubs, vineyards, barns, country houses and more. Our style of catering is suitable for all types of wedding, from those who want a traditional sit-down wedding breakfast to informal celebrations with grazing stations. We can cover all aspects of your menu, including canapes, sides, starters, mains, desserts and evening snacks.

Private Parties & BBQs

Many people want a BBQ for their celebration, especially in Hampshire, but the thought of the same old chicken drumsticks and burgers doesn’t quite cut it. We offer BBQ and private party catering for events of all sizes. This could be anything from a big birthday bash for your friends and family to an event with guests to mark a special occasion. Our BBQ menus can be incorporated into your event theme, and you can choose some unique ideas to really impress. This includes gourmet burger bars, wood fired pizza stations and international cuisine (think Asian BBQs or American low and slow feasts).

Corporate Functions

Businesses are always looking for innovative and exciting ways to enhance their corporate functions, whether they’re treating staff, entertaining clients or showcasing their products and services. We offer specialist corporate event catering, designing menus around the atmosphere you want to create. This could be something as simple as a delicious buffet or street food style stalls to a three-course meal. Our cooking techniques using smoke and fire are always a real talking point of the day, creating a buzz and excitement. We can even slow-roast whole meats in front of your guests, creating exciting visuals, aromas and theatre to enhance the atmosphere of the day.

A Laid Back Atmosphere

A festival style wedding isn’t just for those who love attending them but for anyone who wants something a bit more laid back on their big day. This type of wedding is great for helping guests feel more relaxed, offering an alternative to some of the events you may have attended in the past. Use music and food to create a real buzz on the day, allowing your friends and family to mingle, chill and unwind. Your guests will love throwing themselves into the celebrations, especially if you choose a theme within the festival such as ‘summertime’ or food you love, including gourmet burgers, wood fired pizzas or an international twist such as American food.

Worried about Rain?

One of the main concerns many couples have with any type of summer wedding celebration is the weather. We all know how unpredictable the Great British summer is. One minute you can have bright sunshine perfect for an outdoor wedding, and the next, you’re grabbing an umbrella as the rain pours down. If you’re planning a festival style wedding, consider venues which allow you to use a marquee tent. Experienced wedding caterers will understand how to set up in a variety of environments, so you can still create a festival vibe, even if it’s raining. In fact, sometimes it’s easier to decorate a marquee in the style you want, including bunting, lights, wildflowers and rustic touches. There will also be extra warmth if your festival style wedding is being held in colder months.

Informal Serving

One of the best ways to achieve that relaxed atmosphere you look for in a festival style event is the informal serving options for your food. If you’re trying to create an alternative to the usual sit-down wedding breakfast, why not choose ‘grazing station’ style food in which guests can dip in and out, building a plate of food with as much or as little of the different options as they want. This takeaway style is going to help your guests to break the ice, talk about the food on offer and feel more at ease. You could even go for a pig pan option such as paella with fresh seafood or chicken, which is really easy to serve and has guests coming back for more.

BBQ Wedding Food

Cooking using smoke, wood and fire is a great way to add those festival style elements to your wedding food. Creating a festival themed wedding isn’t just about the napkins you lay out or the bunting you choose, but the sounds, aromas and excitement you create with your food. This is where BBQ style options, rotisseries or hog roasts are a great idea, as guests will delight in the sizzling sounds, the vision of delicious food being slow cooked in front of them and their mouths watering throughout the day.  Perfect for weddings in Mayfair or events in Westminster.

International Delights

When attending any type of festival, one of the best parts is trying popular foods from different cultures from around the globe. So why not choose some of your favourites for your wedding dishes? If you’re opting for a BBQ feast, you could combine your menus with anything from Asian flavours to Mexican spices. You could even include various cooking styles from around the world, including Argentine Asado style cooking. It uses wood and fire to slowly roast food so that you end up with succulent meat on the inside while the outside becomes crispy and smoky.

Summer Flavours

Whatever the time of year you’ve booked your festival style wedding for, there’s no doubt that this style of food is going to bring out the summer vibes. When thinking about summer flavours to add to your party menu, ideas include choosing in-season ingredients. Speak to your wedding caterer about the freshest flavours at this time of year and how they can be incorporated into your dishes. You could even think about adding some fiery spices in combination with cooler flavours such as sour cream which cut through the heat.

Wood Fired Pizzas

Pizzas are a great option for those who want a few fun aspects to their festival style celebrations. Wood fired for a crispy base and packed with the taste of fresh ingredients, this type of festival style wedding food is ideal for all ages and could be chosen as your main food or an evening snack.

Sweet Treats

Think about the desserts you’d like to serve, as you can veer away from traditional options and go for something a little different. If your wedding is in the summertime, something like strawberries and cream, or Eton mess are great ideas or incorporate some of these flavours into other treats such as doughnuts. You could even go for smaller bites to stick with the informal theme, including chocolate brownie bites which you could serve with vanilla ice cream.
