Flavour. Theatre. Craft.
Cooking over fire sits at the heart of Spindle Catering’s style, a return to elemental cooking where heat, smoke, and flame transform great ingredients into something unforgettable.
Our chefs bring the drama of live-fire cooking to weddings, private celebrations, and summer events across East Anglia and beyond, creating an atmosphere that’s immersive, social, and full of flavour.
It’s food with presence, simple in idea, refined in execution, and perfect for those who want something a little different.
Perfect for outdoor and marquee weddings, summer celebrations, garden parties, festival-style gatherings, and private dining with a difference, our fire cooking brings atmosphere and theatre to any event. It creates a sense of warmth, spectacle, and connection acting as a memorable focal point that brings people together through food.
our approach
Open-fire cooking demands skill, timing, and respect for ingredients. We work with seasonal produce, whole cuts of meat, fresh fish, vegetables, and herbs, cooked directly over flame or smouldering embers for a natural depth of flavour.
Menus are entirely tailored to your event, ranging from fire-grilled sharing feasts to multi-course menus cooked over charcoal and wood smoke. Every detail, from menu planning to fire setup and service flow is managed by our experienced team.
Menu Inspiration
Think whole joints slow-cooked over embers, charred vegetables brushed with herb oils, wood-smoked fish, and grilled flatbreads cooked to order.
Sides, sauces, and accompaniments are built around the seasons. Vibrant salads, roasted roots, and rich, smoky flavours designed to complement the fire.
Our chefs can also combine over-fire cooking with more traditional service styles for multi-part celebrations, from outdoor feasts to elegant plated courses.
Planning and logistics
We take care of every practical detail so you can focus on the occasion. From fire setup and safety management to equipment, service, and post-event clear down, our team ensures a seamless experience from start to finish.
Each event includes a complete fire kitchen setup, full safety and compliance management, a trained chef and service team, and responsible site management once the cooking is done.
