Outside catering in Nairobi.
Outside catering is the whole of what we do: we bring the food, serving staff, cutlery and the full setup to your venue, home or office, anywhere in Nairobi. Gardens, compounds, office towers, church and community halls, and grounds with no kitchen of their own — from 20 guests to 5,000 and above.

What outside catering means
Outside catering (sometimes called off-site or mobile catering) is catering delivered to wherever your event is, rather than at the caterer's own premises or a hotel's in-house kitchen. We arrive ahead of time, set up our own service station, serve, and clear the serving areas afterwards. For a Nairobi event at a private home, a garden venue or an office floor, that's exactly the service you need.
What's included
Every booking comes with food, serving staff, cutlery, crockery and the full serving setup, included as standard — never a separate line on the quote. We provide food, staff and cutlery; tents, chairs, furniture and décor come from a hire supplier if your venue needs them, and we work alongside whoever you use.
Events we cater
Outside catering covers almost everything we do: weddings and ruracio and introduction ceremonies, corporate meetings, trainings and conferences, private celebrations, family gatherings and funerals. Tell us the occasion and we build the menu around it.
Catering a venue with no kitchen
Most outdoor and hired venues have no kitchen, and that's the normal case for us, not a complication. We bring the service setup and work off it. Before the day we'll confirm a power source, water and a shaded prep area, and walk through access — the gate, the parking and the route from the vehicle to the serving point — so setup doesn't start with a problem.
Where we cater
Across all of Nairobi, including Westlands, Karen, Kilimani, Gigiri, Lavington, Runda, Upper Hill, Kileleshwa and Lang'ata. We also cater events outside the city by arrangement.
What it costs
As a guide, most events land between KES 500 and KES 4,000 per plate — the lighter end for simple buffets and tea breaks, the higher end for premium menus, plated service and smaller numbers.The final figure is a clear, itemised quote built around your menu and guest count — see our Nairobi catering price guide for what moves it, or build your menu and send it straight to us.

Frequently asked questions
What is outside catering?
Outside catering means the caterer brings everything to your venue — food, serving staff, cutlery and the full service setup — rather than you coming to a restaurant or the food being made on site. It's what we do for almost every event: gardens, homes, offices, halls and grounds across Nairobi.
Can you cater a venue that has no kitchen?
Yes — that's the normal case for outside catering. We work off our own service setup, so a garden, a compound or a hall without kitchen facilities isn't a problem. We'll confirm power, water and a prep area with you before the day.
Which areas of Nairobi do you cover?
All of Nairobi, with dedicated pages for Westlands, Karen, Kilimani, Gigiri, Lavington, Runda, Upper Hill, Kileleshwa and Lang'ata — and we also cater events outside the city by arrangement.
What's included, and what isn't?
Food, serving staff, cutlery, crockery and the full serving setup are included as standard. We don't provide tents, chairs, furniture or décor — those come from a separate hire supplier, and we coordinate with them on the day.
How many guests can you cater for?
From around 20 up to 5,000+. Guest count changes the menu and the staffing, not whether we can take the booking.
How much does outside catering cost in Nairobi?
Quotes are per plate in Kenyan shillings. As a guide, most events land between KES 500 and KES 4,000 per plate depending on the menu and numbers, with no fixed packages — you get a clear, itemised quote within 24 hours.
