Catering Amsterdam: buffets and events for 30 people or more
De Catering Compagnon provides complete catering solutions on location in Amsterdam, Landsmeer, Purmerend and Zaandam. Buffets, lunches, BBQs, walking dinners and appetizers for groups of 30 people or more, including set-up, service and clean-up.
Sometimes it's just right
A good event starts with food that’s just right. Fresh ingredients, a buffet ready when you arrive, and an approach that doesn’t require you to arrange anything. That’s what we’ve been doing for years, in Amsterdam and the surrounding area.
Fish comes from Volendam fishmongers. Meat from an artisan butcher. Vegetables directly from the central market. We prepare everything ourselves, in our own kitchen on the Oostzanerdijk.
Who we cater to
- Corporate events, team days and staff parties (40-100 people)
- Anniversaries, openings and client meetings
- Family parties, weddings and receptions (from 35 people)
- Event agencies and organizers seeking a permanent catering partner
