A Game and Flames Wedding at Preston Court

A barn with gardens around it is exactly the kind of place live fire cooking was made for. We set the fire pits and the Argentine cross up outside, where your guests can gather with a drink and watch the meat cook, and hand canapés round the garden during the reception.

When it is time to eat, the food comes to the tables on sharing boards and platters, family-style, so the barn fills with the smell of the fire rather than a queue for a buffet.

With bell tents on site, plenty of couples keep the party going into the next morning. Our kit is already there, so a day-after brunch or barbecue for the guests who stayed is easy to add.

The food is led by Cai Ap Bryn, Eat Game Awards winner in 2024 and 2025. See how a Game and Flames wedding works, or read what happens on the day, hour by hour.
