Testimonials

Padraic and his team did a wonderful job for our lakeside celebration. All our guests commented on the delicious food, and I appreciated that Keane’s helped us develop a menu featuring both regular and vegetarian dishes.”

Peter M.

“Most successful family BBQ ever and all thanks to Keane’s! Had their food for the first time at a catered event 6 months ago and couldn’t wait to have his brisket, cornbread, pickles (frankly everything they make) for our next family gathering. Padraic was extremely diligent with helping us make the day a super success and taught me how to cut the brisket. Can’t wait to hire Keane’s Wood Fired again!”

“I’m thoroughly impressed! The brisket, smoked chicken and pulled pork mini tacos were absolutely delightful! The waitstaff were very friendly and efficient.”

OUR STORY

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering was founded in 2016 by Padraic Keane and his wife Kaylyn. Padraic grew up working in his parents village pub and restaurant in Galway, Ireland and moved to the United States in 2015. Through some chance friendships and work opportunities he quickly became fascinated with traditional southern barbecue and learned his way around a wood-fired smoker. After welding his own smoker at the Steel Yard in Providence and catering a couple of beer release parties down at Whalers Brewing in South Kingstown, Padraic and the company started building a reputation for exceptional food and service. Now Keane’s offers a unique wood-fired catering experience for clients all over Southern New England.

Through the creativity and expertise of Executive Chef Brandon Teachout, Keane’s offers some of the best barbecue in the region. We have a growing menu of locally sourced proteins and seasonal sides, and the ability to build custom and themed catering experiences.

Keane’s Wood-Fired originated as ‘Boru Barbecue and Catering’. Padraic decided to update the name in 2019 to reflect a broadened set of services and expertise including traditional wood-smoking and other wood-fired cooking techniques. Keane’s smokers run year round on locally harvested red oak.
