We are "Chef De Parties"

Chef de Parties is a catering company from Rotterdam, founded by chefs Anton Kasabukin and Jidde Beukema, who met in the kitchen of The Harbour Club. We have no restaurant: we cook at your location, at home, at the office or at an event venue, in Rotterdam and throughout the Netherlands. From an intimate private dinner to a walking dinner for hundreds of guests.

Our specialty

Why a Walking Dinner?

What does a Walking Dinner cost?
/01

Large group, small space

Your guests stand, walk and mingle. So a big party fits effortlessly into a compact venue. With no fixed seating plan the room stays relaxed, and over the evening you speak to far more people than the two either side of you.

/02

Everyone fed within two hours

Six to eight small courses at a brisk pace. Everyone eats properly and gets to try several dishes, without the evening stalling or your guests sitting at a table for hours.

/03

More to taste, more variety

Why settle for three courses when you could taste six to eight different dishes? Small portions make for real variety. Every course brings a new flavour, and a new moment to fall into conversation with someone else.

We hired Chef de Parties to cater our company party, and we're incredibly satisfied! The food was truly excellent and looked fantastic. Everything was perfectly arranged, and our guests were thrilled with the quality and presentation of the dishes. They're also two wonderful professionals to work with. They respond quickly and actively contribute ideas. Absolutely recommended for any event! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every year I invite chef Anton from Chef de Parties to cook for my guests, and he always surprises me and them with delicious dishes. After his culinary delights, you won't want to go back to a restaurant.

Onlangs hebben wij Anton van dit bedrijf uitgenodigd, als chef‑kok voor een familiefeest. Anton liet uitzonderlijke vakmanschap zien bij het bereiden van alle gerechten — van koude voorgerechten tot garnalen en vlees van de grill. En de sushi, die Anton maakte waren veel lekkerder, dan welke ik in verschillende landen heb geproefd. Kortom, Anton is een Professional met een hoofdletter. Een absolute aanrader, als je jouw feest zowel gezellig als heerlijk wilt maken!

Afgelopen weekend heb ik Anton van Chef de Parties mogen ontvangen op een georganiseerde verjaardag. Er werd heerlijk eten geserveerd: van sushi tot rib-eye, alles was fantastisch. Anton werkt snel, secuur en weet duidelijk veel van zijn vak. Chef de Parties werkt gastvrij en professioneel. Ontzettend van genoten, tot de volgende!
