Words from our community

  • “Canteen is my home. It’s the only place I’ve been made to feel welcome equally after a wet February walk popping in for a cup of tea and attending one of their incredible long table feasts on a balmy summer night.”

  • "Woodfired Canteen helped us create an event that has led to extraordinary growth for our sales team. We believe this is because of the deep connection the team made with what we do and how that makes our clients feel. The combination of amazing food, brilliant hospitality and like minded ethics produced the perfect recipe. We have already booked Woodfired for future conferences and we are excited to be working with them on our culture day.”

  • “When we chose Woodfired Weddings we felt that we thought we knew how important food would be on our day. But honestly we could have never imagined the difference the team made to us. Amy and the team ran a seamless service that allowed us to just relax! The food itself has been described as simply the best food our guests have ever eaten! Thankyou soo much. We will be dropping in soon to see you all”
