Keane's Wood-Fired Catering

Keane's Wood-Fired Catering was founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. Padraic grew up working in his parents' village pub in Galway, Ireland, and moved to the United States in 2015, where he became captivated by traditional southern barbecue. He handcrafted his first wood-fired smoker at the Steel Yard in Providence, and the company held its inaugural catered event at Whalers Brewing in South Kingstown that same year. Since then, Keane's has earned a reputation for exceptional food and service throughout Southern New England. The team operates from a dedicated facility in Warwick, Rhode Island, and is supported by Chef Esteban Gonzalez and Events Managers Kym Gardner and Alicia Capellan. Keane's offers two main catering tiers: full-service catering with staffing from setup to teardown, including passed appetizers, buffet or family-style service, bar service, and dessert; and express catering for more casual events, with pickup or dropoff options and self-service buffet. Both options accommodate dietary restrictions including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, organic, kosher, and sugar-free choices.
