The Keane’s Barbecue story

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering brings the bold, authentic flavors of wood-fired cooking to weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations across Southern New England. Founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team Padraic and Kaylyn Keane, the company has become a trusted catering partner known for exceptional food, outstanding customer service, and an elevated barbecue dining experience.


Padraic’s passion for hospitality began in his family’s village pub in Galway, Ireland, where he learned the foundations of entrepreneurship and the value of genuine, reliable service. After moving to the U.S. in 2015, he discovered a passion for
traditional southern barbecue building his first smoker at the Steel Yard in Providence—and turned that spark into a thriving business.


From catering their very first event at Whalers Brewing in South Kingstown to opening their state-of-the-art facility on
Warwick Avenue in 2023, Keane’s has continued to grow its reputation for exceptional quality and seamless service. Today, the team—supported by Chef Esteban Gonzalez and Events Managers Kym Gardner and Alicia Cappellan—specializes in smoked meats, seasonal sides, house-made pickles and sauces, and full-service catering options including curated bar services, coffee, desserts, rentals, and more.


Whether you’re planning a formal wedding, a corporate gathering, or a relaxed backyard celebration, Keane’s delivers
award-winning catering services and exceptional wood-fired barbecue. Select from our Full Service Catering offerings, where a Chef’s team is on site cooking for your guests, or explore the Express Catering menu available for pickup or delivery.

Friday Night BBQ takeout every week from 4–8 PM.

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.
Suzanne A.
“I’m thoroughly impressed! The brisket, smoked chicken and pulled pork mini tacos were absolutely delightful! The waitstaff were very friendly and efficient.”
Rudy S.
“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!”
Jochelle D.
The Keane’s team is a dream! We were lucky to work with them for our food and bar for our June Wedding and everything was beyond delicious! Weeks later we are still getting texts from guests about “the best brisket they’ve ever tasted”. It was definitely the star of the show. From menu planning with Kym to day of service by the entire team, everything was absolutely perfect and stress free and we really couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you Keanes!!!

Keane's is an amazing wedding caterer. From planning in advance with Kym to working with Mary, Amber, and Thea day-of, everyone on the team is a total pro and genuinely nice human. Keane’s served up a delicious and piping hot dinner despite working outside under a tent in the rain. Our guests raved about the food and bar drinks and how kind everyone was. Also want to note that although Keane’s appears to make beautiful BBQ’d meat, we were a vegetarian/pescatarian wedding—and they did an amazing job with the menu. So happy to have had Keane’s as part of our wedding day! Look forward to working with them again for other parties.
