Catering for your corporate event
From networking drinks to a staff party: we cook at your location, with our own chefs and waiting staff. You deal with one supplier, and your guests never notice the machinery.
One supplier for the whole evening
Chef de Parties caters corporate events throughout the Netherlands, out of Rotterdam. We cook at your location: at the office, at an event venue or outdoors, and bring the chefs, the waiting staff, the tableware and the cutlery. Setting up and breaking down are part of it: we leave the location clean.
We are booked for the evening that has to stand out. An anniversary, a product launch, a client event, a staff party or drinks after a conference. Occasions where the food is part of the programme rather than a break in it.
Which format suits your event?
The answer mostly depends on what the evening has to do. Do people need to talk to each other, or do they need to watch a stage? Here is what each concept is strong at.
Walking Dinner
Six to eight small courses, served while your guests stand and circulate. Nobody has a fixed seat, so everyone talks to more than the two people beside them. Exactly what you want when the event exists to bring people together. From 25 guests.
Luxury bites
Bites going round while the programme runs or has just finished. On their own there is a 200-piece minimum; combined with another concept that minimum falls away. Suits both a short reception and an evening that runs long.
Food stands
Live cooking stations, each with its own kitchen, where your guests choose what they taste and when. Works well for groups coming and going, and for programmes where the food has no fixed moment.
Settled before you have to ask
Staff and tableware included
Chefs, waiting staff, tableware and cutlery are in the price. No separate line for service or washing-up appears afterwards.
Setting up and breaking down
We set up, cook, serve and clear away. The location is left clean, even when that is after midnight.
Dietary requirements at scale
We agree allergies and dietary requirements in advance and build them into the menu, even for hundreds of guests. Your guest does not get a separate plate that looks like an afterthought.
A proposal within one working day
You receive a tailored proposal within one working day, with menu, staffing and schedule worked out and transparently priced.
Frequently asked questions about corporate catering
What does catering for a corporate event cost?
That depends on the concept. A Walking Dinner starts at €44.50 per person for six courses, food stands start at €750 per stand, and luxury bites are €4 per bite. In all three cases the chefs, the waiting staff, the tableware and the cutlery are included in the price.
What does a caterer cost per hour?
We do not charge by the hour. An hourly rate says little about what an evening costs, because the number of guests and the number of courses determine the work, not the clock. So we price per person, per stand or per bite, with staff already included, which means the figure in the quote is the figure on the invoice.
Do you also handle day-to-day corporate catering?
No. We are not a canteen caterer and do not run daily lunch provision or a staff restaurant. We are booked per event: a party, a reception, a client event or drinks. If you are looking for a standing lunch supplier, a contract caterer will serve you better.
What guests say
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!
Chef de Parties prepared a complete 6-course meal for my birthday. Everything was excellent, communication beforehand was smooth, and the scheduling was very flexible. If you want a successful dinner, contact this company!
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.
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!
