About Us

At KERB Events, we’re all about brilliant independent food and drink, served up with exceptional hospitality.

It all began with our passionate founder, Petra Barran, driving up and down the country in her Choc Star truck swapping chocolate delights for a bed for the night! She saw a need for a street food collective, to represent London’s many independent traders. And so, KERB was born.

KERB quickly grew into a collective of over 100+ of the country’s most iconic street food businesses. And so did the demand for KERB to pop up at events up and down the country! The natural next step was KERB Events, and so here we are, disrupting the events catering industry up and down the country. Today, KERB Events are a team of event experts, party pros and shindig specialists. We’re more than just an event caterer. We deliver experiences like no other, exceeding expectations and treating your taste buds every step of the way.We can make anything happen, anywhere (try us)!

With menus that will knock the socks off of your delegates and guests at corporate breakfasts, conferences and award shows. We’re on hand to add a little bit of spice to your next suited-and-booted occasion.

Private Celebrations

Variety is the spice of life and we’ve got it in abundance.
Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, birthday or a special occasion, have the best of the UK’s street food all to yourself.

Brand Activations

We partner with some of the most valued and creative trailblazers that each industry had to offer and have been trusted to showcase the brands of Asos, McLaren, Meta, Innocent, Netflix and the FT (to name a few).

Festivals & Summer

When it comes to festivals and summer parties, no one does it better!
The smells and sounds of fresh, sizzling food with origins reaching from every corner of the world, street food and the summer season is a match made in a tasty heaven.

Receptions & Dinners

Bringing your tastiest dreams to life, and to the table.
Our traders are a talented bunch, with a refined menu of canapés, our famous ‘medium portions’ or a menu perfect for any seated dinner at the drop of a spatula.

Stadia & Fan zones

KERB Events - Street Food Catering

Forget football chants (for now), we’re shouting about scrumptiously small independent food and drink businesses.
Gone are the days of unsatisfactory sports stadium food as KERB Fan zones move into stadiums up and down the country.

Winter Light trails

At the most wonderful time of the year, you can find us at London’s sell-out Winter light trails. We’ve spent the last four years warming the trail-goers at Christmas at Kew and this year added Hampton Court’s Palace of Light to the menu.

AND MORE

We’re not your typical event catering company – as industry disruptors we believe in serving brilliantly authentic, street food for every occasion. When we say the possibilities are endless, we mean it.
