Gail’s
Syon Park is one of London’s most impressive event settings — a beautiful heritage estate in Brentford with sweeping outdoor space, historic surroundings and the scale to host major summer parties.
For Gail’s summer party, The Clementine at Syon Park became the backdrop for a huge day-to-night celebration, with KERB Events delivering outdoor street food, bars, drinks reception and full event catering operations for up to 1,500 guests.
The Brief
KERB Events was brought in to deliver a full summer party food and drink operation for Gail’s at Syon Park.
The brief was all about proper summer festival energy: welcome 550 daytime guests for the awards and reception, then open the event up for a further 950 evening guests with street food, outdoor bars and a smooth drinks operation running late into the night.
We curated a brilliant line-up of KERB traders across vans and gazebos, with each unit delivering 450 medium portions. The trader line-up included 450 Degrees pizza, Only Jerkin, Gamekeeper, Deluxe Dogs, Grilling Greek, Chubby Dumpling, Rice Bandits, Enak and Amani Kitchen — giving guests a generous, varied street food offer.
Big numbers, smooth event operations
With guests arriving in phases across the day, the operation needed careful planning from the first load-in to final close.
The daytime event opened at 14:00 with a prosecco and juice reception for 550 guests, followed by awards and presentations. From 18:00, the additional evening guests began arriving, food service started and the outside bars opened. Food and bar service ran through the evening to midnight.
Our team managed trader logistics, bar set-up, guest flow, health and safety, food safety requirements, allergen procedures, fire safety compliance, power, gas controls, staffing and on-site communication across the full event.
KERB’s bars bringing the summer party energy
The bar operation was built around a full day-to-night guest journey.
The event began with a prosecco and juice reception in the foyer, using dispense trestles, tray service for prosecco, and Kilner jars for juices and water. During the daytime event, the indoor venue bar served beer, wine and soft drinks via tokens, with spirits available as a cash bar.
From reception pours to outdoor summer party serves, the bars kept the event flowing from the first arrival to the final round.
Outdoor food, big guest numbers and festival-style delivery
Gail’s summer party gave KERB Events the chance to deliver a complete outdoor food and drink operation at serious scale with proper KERB atmosphere.
From the staggered trader load-in and large-format bar set-up to the daytime reception, evening food village and late-night drinks service, every element was planned around guest flow, speed of service and a brilliant summer party vibe.
A beautiful venue with a huge crowd and full festival-style food and bar operation - all powered by KERB’s fantastic independent traders, brilliant bars and smooth event delivery.

SOMERSET HOUSE - SUMMER SERIES
With two handpicked traders and two festival bars, we brought an elevated street food experience to Somerset House’s fountain court for 11 nights of live music and celebration.
TIKTOK
A Christmas Party to end all Christmas parties. We went all out, bringing 10 of our incredible traders to a huge ‘food village’ within Printworks for this epic, end-of-year party. Oozing mac ‘n’ cheese pots, bouncy bao buns, crispy baked chicken and sumptuous beef bulgogi tacos left party-goers spoilt for choice. With spirits from East London Liquor Co. and craft beers from Gipsy Hill flowing, this was a night to remember as guests danced and ate the night away with the very best street food that London has to offer.
BUDWEISER ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The Roundhouse is one of London’s most iconic live event venues. A legendary circular space with world-class production capability and the flexibility to host everything from major performances to brand events, conferences and receptions.

Drumsheds is one of London’s most iconic large-scale venues. It’s a cutting edge industrial superclub built for bringing in huge crowds and providing world class production.

For MLB London Series ’24, the square became the home of a full fan zone activation, bringing the scale and spectacle of Major League Baseball into the heart of the capital. With the Philadelphia Phillies going head-to-head with the New York Mets in London, KERB Events was brought in to help create a food and drink experience worthy of the occasion
