Fire & Food

August 20, 2020

Are you planning your wedding day but finding it extra challenging due to the uncertainty of COVID-19?

Fire and Food by Kenton Shaw, is a unique catering solution for your intimate country style wedding. Kenton’s aim is to provide you with a space that brings your favourite people closer together while also making it easier to ensure a COVID safe environment.

The Concept

As you are hitting the snooze button, Kenton is stoking the open fire pit in preparation to slow roast an assortment of hung meats including: juicy legs of lamb and pork, beef strip-loin, chicken and whole salmon.

Expect smoke and flames (as well as the tantalising aroma of freshly cooked damper on the air) as you gather around the fire at your reception. Sip on a glass of chilled champagne or enjoy a hot mulled wine and relax with your guests while Kenton works his culinary magic. Look on as Kenton prepares and cooks whole QLD blue pumpkins under hot coals, an experience not to be missed!

Due to the potential cooking time variations when roasting in this fashion, it’s best to plan your Fire & Food event not so much to a strict timetable.

Rest assured though, your guests will enjoy the atmosphere and theatre that is the slow cooking experience and with all those amazing smells tantalising their tastebuds, it will only give them something special to look forward too when it’s all good and done!

During COVID-19, this type of menu would suit hand served grazing plates on arrival and long bench style tables for the main with individual plates served by Kenton’s friendly team. Post pandemic, think a long buffet grazing table on arrival and the main to follow as a buffet, or share plates placed in the middle of long communal tables.

Kenton is absolutely passionate about working with quality local produce and making your dining experience second to none.
