One call, and the food is sorted. Catering in Great Barr is straightforward with Kebys: tell us your event type, date, guest count and budget, and we plan, cook and deliver a fresh spread of pizzas, kebabs, burgers and sides, feeding anywhere from 10 to 200 people. No half-day in the kitchen, no sad supermarket trays, just proper food brought hot to your door.
Whether it is a birthday party, a corporate lunch, a christening or a community gathering, food is the centrepiece, and nothing pulls a room together quite like a table of freshly grilled kebabs, hand-stretched pizza and sharing sides. Here is exactly how our catering works, what goes on the menu, how much food you actually need, and how to book.
What does Kebys catering in Great Barr include?
Catering in Great Barr from Kebys is a full-service job, not a drop-and-go. You get the food planned, cooked fresh on the day, delivered, set up, and, if you want, cleared away afterwards. Everything is prepared to the food hygiene standards the Food Standards Agency sets out for caterers, so you focus on your guests and we focus on the food.
Every catering order is built around three things: your headcount, your crowd, and your budget. From there we suggest a menu that covers all bases, meat lovers, vegetarians, vegans and the fussy eaters in between. A typical spread mixes:
- Kebab platters, slow-roasted lamb doner, chicken tikka and mixed meat, carved and boxed with salad and sauces
- Hand-stretched pizzas, cut for sharing, from Margherita and Pepperoni King to the signature Kebys Special
- Burgers, grilled to order, including the double beef Kebys Hot House for the chilli fans
- Sharing sides, fries, Onion Rings, Garlic Bread, Mozzarella Sticks and Chicken Strips
- Dips and sauces, chilli, garlic mayo, BBQ and yoghurt mint
- Desserts and drinks, cheesecake slices, ice cream and soft drinks
Our lamb is 90 percent-plus Cypriot lamb, roasted on the spit, and every pizza base is stretched by hand and baked fresh, never pressed from a factory disc. If you want the background on why that matters to the taste, our welcome guide to Kebys in Great Barr walks through the kitchen and the menu in full.
How does the catering booking process work?
We keep it to four simple steps, so there is no guesswork and no surprise on the day.
- Tell us about your event. Give us the event type, date, guest count and any special requirements, dietary needs, a set serving time, a venue with an awkward entrance. Call 07821 896 470 or message @kebysuk on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok.
- We plan the menu. Based on your numbers and preferences, we suggest a spread that suits the crowd and the budget. You approve or tweak it. We reply within 24 hours with a custom quote.
- We cook and deliver. On the day, everything arrives prepared, hot and ready to serve. For larger events we set up serving stations so guests can help themselves.
- We can clear away. For the bigger jobs, we tidy the food service afterwards so you are not left with a mountain of boxes.
For small platter orders, 48 hours' notice is plenty. For a bigger event of 50 or more, aim for at least a week so we can plan portions, timings and packaging properly. Larger catering leans on our sharing bundles, and our family takeaway deals guide shows how the Party Feast and Full House scale for a crowd.
How much catering food do you actually need per guest?
This is the question that makes or breaks an event order. Under-cater and guests go home hungry. Over-cater and you are throwing money in the bin. A sensible rule of thumb per adult:
- One to two pizza slices, a 16" pizza cuts into eight to ten slices
- One serving of kebab or one burger as the main
- A scoop of sharing sides, fries, onion rings, garlic bread
- Half of the above for younger children
For a mixed crowd, err slightly generous on the mains and let the sides fill the gaps. Leftover pizza is a welcome next-day treat. A guest queuing at an empty tray is not. When the event includes children, plan on roughly half an adult portion each and keep a couple of the milder pizzas in the mix.
Allergies matter more when you are feeding other people's guests. Flag any dietary needs when you book, and we will talk you through what is in each dish. The official allergen and food labelling rules on GOV.UK set out what caterers must tell you, so you can brief guests with confidence. The Food Standards Agency allergen guidance sets out the fourteen major allergens plainly if you want to brief attendees in advance. For a rough steer on balancing a treat spread with the rest of the week, the NHS Eatwell Guide is a useful reference.
A quick catering ready-reckoner
| Event | Rough guest count | Good starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Small office lunch | 8 to 12 | Pizza and wrap platters plus fries |
| Birthday party | 15 to 30 | Mixed pizzas, kebab platters, sharing sides |
| Christening or family do | 30 to 60 | Full menu spread with serving stations |
| Large celebration | 60 to 200 | Custom menu, stations, delivery in waves |
The bigger the event, the more it pays to talk it through rather than guess. For anything above 12 covers, call 07821 896 470 and we will size it with you.
