East African Food And Barbecue

This event was born out of a growing desire among East Africans in London to once again have a space where people can come together, reconnect, and enjoy authentic East African food, barbecue, music, and cultural activities in a warm and vibrant atmosphere.

For many years, East Africans — especially Ugandans — gathered and connected at AFAB in Deptford. When AFAB closed, it left a vacuum in the community and many people have since longed for a place that could bring back that same spirit of unity, belonging, and celebration.

While this event is not a relaunch of AFAB, it is inspired by that spirit. It is East Africans coming together to revive the sense of community, enjoyment, and cultural pride that so many people have missed.

Expect delicious East African dishes, mouth-watering barbecue, entertainment, cultural vibes, networking opportunities, and a welcoming environment for families, friends, and anyone who appreciates African culture and cuisine.

Whether you are coming for the food, the music, the connections, or simply the experience, this is more than just an event — it is a celebration of identity, heritage, and community.

Join us on 15th August 2026 as we create new memories together and build a new chapter for East Africans in London.

We are also inviting vendors and small businesses who would like to host a stall at the event! 🛍️🍴
