Event catering in Kensington
Event catering in Kensington, cooked on site
A carved hog roast is the showpiece; a barbecue gives more variety. For bigger events in Kensington, many hosts have both, and we’ll suggest the right mix for your guests. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings and corporate days, with salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Events in Kensington range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
We arrive well before food time and set up under cover, where we agreed with you or the venue.
Ask us to label the meat-free food.
Choosing caterers in Kensington
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the event where you want it, and we bring the food. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

As a London location, Kensington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
