Vegetarian buffet on location in Amsterdam – colorful, filling and fully arranged
A vegetarian buffet is a form of catering where exclusively vegetable and vegetarian dishes – without meat or fish – are offered as a self-service buffet on location for groups in Amsterdam and its surroundings.
In a nutshell: The Catering Companion provides vegetarian buffets on location in Amsterdam, Landsmeer, Purmerend and Zaandam for groups of 30 people or more. Seasonal vegetables from the central market, fully catered. Vegan options are also available as standard.
You’re hosting an event for a mixed group and you want to make sure everyone eats well. More and more guests don’t eat meat – or would rather not eat meat at business lunches and parties. A vegetarian buffet solves that in one fell swoop: everyone eats the same, no one gets a separate plate, and the buffet looks confident.
But a vegetarian buffet hinges on execution. Below you can read what it entails and how The Catering Companion provides it on location.
What’s on a vegetarian buffet?
A good vegetarian buffet is not a buffet without meat – it is a buffet built around plant-based flavors that stand on their own. Think roasted vegetables with herbs, a warm vegetable soup, a savory quiche or pie, a rich pasta salad and a grain or legume dish such as couscous with roasted peppers or lentil curry.
The Catering Companion works with seasonal vegetables from the central market. That means the composition shifts with the season – more freshness and salad in the summer, more heat and stewed in the fall. The buffet always feels current.
Vegan options are standard – not as an exception, but as a full part of the table. Guests with dairy sensitivities or who eat plant-based foods are not served separately.
Why choose a full vegetarian buffet?
Wondering if an all-vegetarian buffet is the right choice for your group? The answer depends on the context. For corporate events with a sustainable slant, it’s a statement that fits the brand. For events where you know a large portion of the guests eat vegetarian, it’s easier than a mixed buffet where you have to match the ratio.
And for those in doubt: a good vegetarian buffet also convinces meat eaters. Not because they miss meat, but because the dishes are delicious in themselves. The Catering Companion focuses on taste – not on leaving something out, but on what goes with it.
The minimum group size is 30 people. Want a mixed buffet that includes meat dishes? Check out the hot and cold buffet.
How does The Catering Companion arrange it on location?
The buffet will be set up at your location and ready at the appointed time. Heating equipment is included. Dietary requirements – allergies, vegan, gluten-free – are included when requesting a quote. An on-site cook is available upon request.
Want to combine the vegetarian buffet with a lunch portion? Check out the hot lunch menus. Several vegetarian lunch options are available.
The offer is concrete: price per person, clear what is included. No surprises afterwards.
What occasions does a vegetarian buffet work for?
A vegetarian buffet suits business events with a conscious approach, organizations with a high proportion of vegetarian employees or team days where sustainability is part of the story. But it is also an excellent choice at private parties – anniversaries, birthdays, family days – if the guest list is predominantly plant-based.
