Group size

What is the minimum number of people for catering?

Sandwiches: minimum order of 20. Charcuterie boxes: from 10 people. Buffets, barbecues and grazing tables: from 40 people.

What is the maximum number of guests?

We scale our bar concepts from 50 to thousands of guests, with multiple stations and baristas. For food, we tailor capacity to each request: tell us the number of guests and we’ll put together a suitable proposal.

Delivery

Which region do you deliver to?

We bring our bar concepts to events throughout the Netherlands, from our base in Barendrecht. We provide sandwiches, buffets and grazing tables in South Holland, for example in Rotterdam and Barendrecht and the surrounding area. You can also collect in Barendrecht.

Are there delivery charges?

For food we deliver, we charge a €17.50 starting fee (beyond 25 km €27.50) plus €0.50 per kilometre, return trip from Barendrecht. If we collect equipment afterwards, as with a buffet, that counts as two trips. For bars and catering with staff, we charge mileage and travel time. Collection in Barendrecht costs nothing extra. Our price calculator shows the costs for your address straight away.

On site

Do you set up the catering on site?

Yes, if you would like us to. We set up buffets, grazing tables and breakfasts on site, and a barbecue on site comes with a grill master at the grill. You can also choose delivery only, or collect it yourself in Barendrecht.

What do you need on site?

For a bar: one free 230V circuit per station and 2 to 3 metres of space for the bar. No water connection is needed. For food, we agree the requirements with you for each request.

Dietary requirements

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

Wherever possible, we include vegetarian, vegan, halal and allergy requirements in the proposal. Mention your requirements in your request and we’ll go through them with you dish by dish.

How do you handle allergies?

For each buffet, we list the allergens based on the ingredients used. Please always contact us for the complete, up-to-date allergen list.

Bar concepts

What power supply do you need?

One free 230V circuit per bar station, preferably close to the bar. Not sure? We’re happy to advise on distribution boards and cabling.

Is a water connection required?

No. We work with fresh and waste water tanks under the bar. A fixed connection is welcome, but not a must.

How much space does a bar need?

As a guide: 2 to 3 metres of frontage and enough counter space, with room under the bar for stock and water tanks.

What is the capacity of a bar?

Guide figures per hour: coffee 120 to 150 cups per barista, bubble tea 100 to 140 and matcha 100 to 160 per station. We calculate in advance how many stations and baristas you need for your peak moments.

Can the bars match our house style?

Yes. Think branded cups and napkins, logo coffee, menu boards and bar styling.

Are you insured and do you work hygienically?

Yes. We work to HACCP guidelines and carry business insurance.

Staff

Can you provide waiting staff and bar staff?

Waiting staff and bar staff can be part of the proposal. Tick it in your request and we’ll match the staffing to your event.

Drinks

Can you also provide the drinks?

Drinks can be part of the proposal, from soft drinks, beer and wine to a bar. Simply tick the box in your request.

Business catering

Can we set up a standing arrangement for recurring catering?

Yes, we’re happy to help you plan it. Tell us how often and for how many people you need catering, and we’ll make you a proposal.
