I can highly recommend Bold & Authentic Caribbean Street Food!!
Both Adrian and Anees are professional but personable and provided a great service, but the highlight was their food!!
The main courses were delicious with great flavours which were accompanied with the perfect side dishes.
Everyone at our event commented on what a great choice we made Bold & Authentic Caribbean Street Food which is rare.
So if you want good portion sizes providing great value for money please don't hesitate to book these guys!!

Amazing experience from start to finish.
Arrived on time and the set up worked really well!!
People couldn’t get over how nice the food was, all next day that’s all people in the office was talking about, and how even the food they took home still tasted like it was just off the grill.
I 100% recommend Debbie, real Jamaican dishes with flavour, and even catered for our dietary requirements (halal and plant based dishes) I without a doubt will be using her in the future.
I made the right choice,😊
Thanks again!!!

Such a great experience - Debbie & co confirmed what time we wanted to start serving food then arrived and set everything up in time for that, and their setup made queuing and choosing your food really easy. They didn't need a power source as everything was BBQ'ed, and it was DELICIOUS! Lots of choice (though most people went for some of everything!), dietary requirements (veggie, vegan and Halal) were all well catered for and absolutely everything was provided - plates (actually boxes, for ease of carrying) cutlery, napkins, condiments, salads, sauces and masses of amazing food. Many people came up to me (the party organiser) during the event to say how great the food was, and some people even took boxes of leftovers home - one person said the curried mutton was the best thing about the entire party! We'd book them again without hesitation - everything was hot, fresh, full of flavour and just a bit different from a standard British BBQ :)

Booked for Wedding
"Dawn and her team at Carriburton were absolutely fantastic. When we decided to go with a venue that allowed for self catering we decided on Carribean food quite quickly as my family are from Jamaica and Jess' family enjoy this type of food. From the moment Carriburton Caterers got in touch with us they were fantastic. Professional, reassuring and able to tailor the menu to our requests. Once we had the taster session with Dawn we absolutely knew this was the team for us. The food was delicious and plentiful!
On the day the team were brilliant, we chose to have the food served as a buffet and the guests thoroughly enjoyed it. There was more than enough for people to go up and get seconds and even some for us to take back home.
Thanks guys for your wonderful service and all the best for the future.
Aaron and Jess"

Caribbean Caterers in Cardiff: A Buyer’s Guide to Big Flavour by the Bay
Searching for Caribbean Caterers in Cardiff? You’re in exactly the right place. The Welsh capital knows how to throw a party, and when you bring Caribbean cooking into the mix, things go from pleasant to properly unforgettable.
From weddings in historic buildings to festivals in open parks and corporate gatherings along the waterfront, Caribbean catering brings colour, heat and serious good vibes. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to hire the right Caribbean Caterers in Cardiff, what to expect on price, how to match menus to venues, and how to make sure your event tastes every bit as good as it looks.
Let’s dive in.
Why Cardiff and Caribbean Food Are a Perfect Match
Cardiff is a city with energy. There’s music, there’s rugby, there’s culture, and there’s a real love of food that feels generous and sociable. Caribbean catering fits right in.
Think:
Slow-cooked jerk meats drifting across a waterfront breeze
Plantain and rice and peas served up in leafy park settings
Steel drum rhythms at a festival-style wedding
Colourful buffet spreads against the backdrop of historic stone buildings
The combination works because both Cardiff and Caribbean food are about warmth. You want your guests chatting, laughing, going back for seconds. That’s exactly what great Caribbean Caterers in Cardiff deliver.
What Types of Events Suit Caribbean Catering?
One of the best things about Caribbean food is its versatility. It can be elegant and plated, or relaxed and festival-style. Here’s how it plays out across different events.
Weddings with a Twist
If you’re planning a wedding in Cardiff and want something that stands out from the usual roast dinner, Caribbean catering is a bold and brilliant choice.
Picture a Celtic Island BBQ theme: Welsh countryside meets Caribbean sunshine. Jerk chicken, grilled vegetables, vibrant salads, rum-glazed desserts. It feels joyful and generous, which is exactly how a wedding should feel. Caribbean Caterers in Cardiff often offer:
Sharing platters for a sociable, communal vibe
Street food-style evening food
Fully staffed buffets with professional service
Adaptable menus for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free guests
It’s personal, it’s lively, and it gives your wedding real personality.

Cardiff loves a festival, and Caribbean Festival Flavours are right at home in parks and open-air settings. Whether it’s a summer birthday bash or a large community event, Caribbean catering works beautifully because it’s designed for movement, energy and big appetites.
Expect:
Street food stalls
BBQ setups
Bold spice blends and bright presentation
Menus that scale easily for larger guest numbers
The food becomes part of the entertainment. Guests queue happily because they know something delicious is coming.
Corporate Events with Personality
Corporate doesn’t have to mean beige sandwiches. If you’re hosting a corporate event in Cardiff, whether at a waterfront space or a characterful historic venue, Caribbean catering sends a message: this is not a dull boardroom lunch. It works especially well for summer staff parties, product launches, networking evenings, and client hospitality events.
It creates atmosphere without feeling over-the-top. Professional, polished, but still relaxed and engaging.
Matching Caribbean Catering to Cardiff Venues
Cardiff has a fantastic mix of spaces. When hiring Caribbean Caterers in Cardiff, it’s worth thinking about how the food style fits the venue.
Historic Venues
Cardiff’s historic buildings offer drama and charm. Caribbean food adds contrast in the best way. Stone walls and colourful dishes create a visual and sensory experience. In these settings, you might opt for elegant plated Caribbean-inspired courses, styled buffets with decorative touches, or formal service teams with a friendly edge.
The key is balance. You keep the grandeur, but inject warmth and flavour.
Waterfront Spaces
Cardiff Bay is a gift when it comes to event backdrops. Add Caribbean catering and it feels almost seaside. BBQ-style menus, grilled seafood options, rum-inspired desserts and tropical salads all feel right at home here. It’s relaxed but stylish. Guests can enjoy the view while tucking into vibrant, flavour-packed dishes.
Parks and Outdoor Areas
For parks and open green spaces, Caribbean catering is a natural fit. The food is designed for open air. Smoke, spice and sunshine work together beautifully. Food stalls and live cooking stations add theatre. Guests love watching their food prepared fresh. It makes the event feel alive.
What Does Caribbean Catering in Cardiff Cost?
Let’s talk numbers. For most events in Cardiff, you’re looking at roughly £15 to £30 per person. Where you land in that range depends on several factors:
Guest numbers
Service style, such as buffet versus plated
Complexity of the menu
Staffing requirements
Equipment and setup needs
At the lower end, you’ll typically find relaxed buffet or street food-style catering. At the higher end, you’ll see more elaborate menus, premium ingredients and full service teams. The good news? Caribbean food delivers serious flavour impact even at sensible budgets. It’s generous, filling and visually impressive.
How to Choose the Right Caribbean Caterer in Cardiff
Not all caterers are created equal. Here’s what we recommend looking for to ensure your event is a success.
Friendly, Engaging Service
Caribbean catering is about atmosphere as much as food. You want a team that brings warmth and personality, not just trays. The best suppliers connect with guests, smile easily, and make people feel looked after. It elevates the whole experience.
Clear, Fast Pricing
Time is money. We always say that if you’re waiting days for quotes, your planning slows down. Look for caterers who provide transparent, all-inclusive pricing. It means you can make decisions quickly and confidently.
Flexibility and Personalisation
No two events are the same. Whether you need a vegan-heavy menu, child-friendly options, or a menu that blends Welsh and Caribbean influences, flexibility matters. Great Caribbean Caterers in Cardiff will tailor their offering. They adapt. They listen. They make it yours.
Professional Standards
Food hygiene ratings, insurance, and experience with large events are vital. Professionalism behind the scenes allows you to relax and enjoy your event without worrying about what’s happening in the kitchen.
Creating a Theme That Guests Will Love
If you want to take things up a notch, build your event theme around the catering.
Celtic Island BBQ
This theme blends Welsh pride with Caribbean sunshine. It’s ideal for weddings and summer parties. You might include BBQ jerk meats and grilled vegetables, fresh salads with tropical fruit elements, and Caribbean-style sides with a Welsh twist. Bright table styling with natural textures makes it feel celebratory and inclusive.
Caribbean Festival Flavours
Perfect for larger gatherings and outdoor events. Think of colourful food stalls, bold signage, and lively service. Shared dining experiences encourage guests to mingle and explore.
