Award-Winning BBQ Catering for Weddings & Events
Since 2015, Keane's Wood-Fired Catering has specialized in crafting exceptional barbecue experiences for weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings across Southern New England. Founded by Padraic and Kaylyn Keane, our expertise stems from Padraic's upbringing in his family's Irish pub and his passion for Southern barbecue techniques. We operate from a custom-built facility in Warwick, Rhode Island, where we prepare all menu items using wood-fired smokers. Our team, including Chef Esteban Gonzalez and Events Manager Kym Gardner, delivers fully customizable menus featuring both traditional and vegetarian options. With accolades for our brisket, smoked chicken, and event execution, we prioritize personalized service from initial planning to event day execution.Our Friday take-out program allows customers to experience our signature barbecue outside of events. We maintain a commitment to quality through hands-on preparation, premium ingredients, and attention to dietary preferences. Our proven track record includes successful large-scale weddings and corporate functions, supported by repeat clients and positive testimonials. We combine culinary expertise with event management proficiency to ensure seamless experiences for every client.
