Karkade Kitchen

We bring the whole stall to youمطبخ كركديه

Sudanese smokehouse food, cooked at your event, in front of your people. Rolls off the grill, cold karkade handed out by the bottle. Halal, always.

Clubs and carnivals book the stall. Weddings and family gatherings book the sit down packages. Schools and offices usually want the sliders.

We use peanut and sesame. Where exactly, and what we can do about it, is further down this page.

  • Smoked chicken, beef shawarma or tameah

What turning up looks like

This is the one clubs book. Here's exactly what you get and how it's priced, with nothing to find out on the day.

Cooked at the venue

Nothing turns up in a warmer. It's made in front of your people, which is half the reason it works.

What it costs. Every day gets quoted on its own numbers. The tent, the travel and the hours don't change whether we feed ten or a hundred, so the price a head moves with your headcount and how far we're going.

Tell us the date, the ground and roughly how many people, and you'll get a written quote back, not a runaround.

Allergens

We cook Sudanese food. Peanut and sesame are in the sauces, we're not hiding them. Here's exactly where they are.

Peanut

Shatta be dakwa, the chilli sauce, and salata be dakwa, the salad dressing. Dakwa is ground peanut.

Sesame

Garlic tahini. It goes on every slider and it's there with the packages too.

Wheat

The bread rolls, and both desserts.

Milk

Sudanese kunafa and basbosa.

Read this if you're catering for someone with an allergy.

It all comes out of one kitchen on shared equipment, and the tameah is fried in shared oil. We can't promise any dish is free of peanut, sesame, wheat or milk. Tell us about the allergy when you enquire and we'll be straight with you about what we can and can't do for that guest. We'd rather turn the booking down than get it wrong.

For club and event days we can source separately and run the whole day nut free. Ask when you enquire, not on the day.

How booking works

Three steps, and it costs nothing to ask.

  1. 1 Tell us the date The date, the ground or the venue, roughly how many people, and anything we need to know about allergies.
  2. 2 We send a written quote Usually within 2 business days. Everything is listed on it, including travel, so there are no surprises later.
  3. 3 We turn up and cook We arrive early, set the stall up and cook through your event. Invoice after, or before if your club needs it for approval.
