What you want to know

What types of events do you cater?

We cater weddings, private events, and corporate gatherings where food is meant to be part of the experience — not an afterthought. If your event values atmosphere, timing, and presence, we’re likely a good fit.

Where are you located, and how far do you travel?

Fyrestoke is based in Peterborough, Ontario, and serves Central Ontario and the surrounding regions. If fire makes sense for your event, distance is part of the conversation — not a deal breaker.

Do you offer tastings?

Yes! Tastings are available for larger events and are designed to give you a real sense of how Fyrestoke cooks and operates. If you move forward with us, the tasting cost is credited toward your event.

How do we get started?

Start with an inquiry. Tell us about your event, your location, and what you’re hoping to create. If it feels like the right fit on both sides, we’ll take it from there.

How far in advance should we book?

The earlier, the better — especially for weddings and peak season events. We take on a limited number of bookings to maintain quality and focus, so availability fills quickly.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. Dietary needs are considered part of the design process, not an afterthought. We’ll work with you to ensure the menu fits your guests without compromising the experience.

How do pricing and quotes work?

Pricing is custom and based on your event size, service style, menu, and logistics. We don’t do flat packages or one-size-fits-all pricing. Once we understand your event, we’ll build something that fits it properly.

Do you provide rentals, staffing, and setup?

We handle food, fire, and service execution. Rentals, bar service, and additional event logistics can be coordinated depending on the scope of your event. We’ll be clear about what’s included and what’s not — no surprises.

Do you only do live-fire cooking?

Fire is at the core of what we do, but how it shows up depends on the event. Some gatherings lean fully into live-fire cooking on site. Others use fire-driven techniques behind the scenes. Either way, the approach stays the same: intentional heat, real technique, no shortcuts.

What happens if there’s a fire ban or venue restrictions?

Fire conditions and venue rules are part of working with real heat — and we plan for them. If restrictions are in place, we adapt the setup using approved equipment and alternate cooking methods that preserve the experience without compromising safety or compliance. Fire is our foundation, but execution always comes first.
