Outdoor catering with style
Whether you want to delight your guests with fresh oysters and Bloody Mary’s at your country barn wedding this summer, or put smiles on your employees’ faces with gourmet duck wraps at your corporate team building day, we’ve got the perfect caterer for you. To make things really simple and straight forward, we’ve built a bank of vetted street food traders and pop-up bars for you to browse online, and our booking system is also really easy!
Book Azahar and let their mouthwatering bocatas (Spanish baguettes) and their stunningly converted Citroen H van steal the show at your event! From decadent Indian curries and Caribbean jerk chicken, to bespoke Mojitos and Espresso Martinis, we’ve got a something to suit every taste and type of event. All of our traders are absolute foodies who love what they do, so they will be more than happy to tailor make their menus specifically for you. They are also all totally mobile so can pop up wherever you want them, whether it’s a funky rooftop in London or a charming country garden in Cambridgeshire.
Drinks and desserts
We have a huge selection of pop-up bars who serve drinks that accompany burgers rather brilliantly… Want vintage margaritas served from a charming wooden caravan? Book Midsummer Nightcap! To have an awesome East London craft brewer at your event, check out Deviant & Dandy, or to warm up your guests with a hot cup of handcrafted coffee, Perky Blenders are a great choice. After your guests have polished off the burgers, why not provide them with dessert to satisfy any sugar cravings? From delicate French cakes and pastries by Jacques et Lilie, to Nutella and banana crêpes from Bam Bam Crêpe, we have almost any kind of pud you can think of!

A friend recommended Feast It to me when I was looking into catering for my husband‘s 60th. We had steak frites and a wine van and everyone absolutely loved it, so unique!

Outdoor Catering FAQs
How much does outside catering cost?
The cost of hiring a food or drink van will vary depending on how many guests you have and which caterer you choose. As a guideline, the minimum cost per person for food is around £7 and alcoholic drinks cost between £10 and £20 per person.
Can the caterers operate outdoors?
Absolutely! Our excellent caterers and their vans were simply made for woodland weddings, city parties and festival fields. From paint balling arenas to Osea Island, we’ve done it all!
What’s included by the outside caterers?
Your caterer will bring everything they need to your event so there’s nothing for you to think of on the day. If you’re after something really specific, like a particular colour of serveware or personalised cocktail glasses, you might have to provide them. Just talk to your caterer using our online chat system and they will let you know.
Can they cater for dietary requirements?
All of our suppliers can cater for various dietary requirements and they can all provide gluten-free buns. Many of them have delicious veggie burgers on their menus and we also have traders who solely make vegetarian and vegan burgers. When you enquire online, let us know of any dietary needs and we will recommend the suitable caterer for you!
How can I pay for my outdoor catering?
We’re pretty proud of our secure booking system here at Feast It. You can pay for your caterer on our site and we’ll hold the money until the working day after the event, before releasing it to them. It’s super reliable and really straightforward, so you can enjoy the delicious food and drink at your event without worrying about settling the bill! Alternatively, you can pay for your caterer over the phone or make a bank transfer. We also offer monthly payment plans, allowing you to split the cost into equal payments each month leading right up to your event.
