About our event catering in Kennington
We always include meat-free choices: halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and barbecue chicken cover guests who do not eat pork. On the menu are halloumi skewers, pulled pork and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and Fêtes, fairs and school events.
In Kennington, we cater in gardens, yards, playgrounds and office courtyards. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Step by step
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover on the agreed spot. With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Kennington until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so most summer events eat in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- You get a menu suggestion and a quote.
- On the day, we set up outdoors under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Choosing caterers in Kennington
Compared with booking several food vans, a single caterer means one menu, one queue and one point of contact. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
