Live fire cooking, wild game and sharing feasts from a recommended caterer at Wilderness Weddings.
Wilderness Weddings is a secret valley just outside Canterbury, with wildflower meadows, ancient woodland, a private lake and giant tipis glowing beneath the stars. It sits on a 200-acre eco-farm with nearly 30 years of rewilding behind it, and offers festival-style celebrations with a sustainable twist. It is the sister venue to Preston Court.
A rewilded valley and a fire is about as natural a pairing as a wedding gets. Our food is wild game and sustainably sourced meat cooked over wood and charcoal, and the way we work suits a festival-style day: fire stations your guests can wander up to, whole joints on the cross, and sharing boards down the middle of the tables.
We bring our own fire pits, crosses, grills and planchas, and we cook in all weathers with our own shelter for the cooking area. Because the site is off-grid, the one thing we plan carefully with you and the venue is power and water for the kitchen - tell us what is available and we build the setup around it.
Sustainability is not an add-on for us. Wild venison is one of the most sustainable meats in Britain, and we stopped serving salmon years ago to protect native stocks. If the ethos of the venue is part of why you chose it, the menu can carry that through.
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.
“The live cooking experience was absolutely amazing - our guests were mesmerised by the whole spectacle. The food was plentiful, beautifully cooked and delicious.”
“Our vegans absolutely loved the food. The pigeon popper canapés were to die for. Cai was so attentive and made sure everything was perfect. 10 out of 10.”
“Superb communication from start to finish. The team handled all our dietary requirements seamlessly. Perfect for our intimate outdoor wedding.”

Yes. The cooking itself is wood and charcoal, and we bring our own fire equipment and shelter. We still need to plan power and water for the kitchen, so we agree that with you and the venue before the day.
We cook in all weathers. Fire cooking works in rain, wind and cold, and we bring our own cover for the cooking area.
