How we actually deliver in Amsterdam
We are a London company that works across Europe, and we would rather be straight about how that runs than pretend to be local.
- What travels to Amsterdam
- Espresso machines, grinders, service kit and our speciality beans ship from London, so the coffee in the cup is the same one we serve at home.
- What we hire locally
- Carts, furniture, refrigeration, milk and consumables are sourced in Amsterdam, which keeps freight down and means nothing critical sits in a customs queue.
- Who runs the day
- One producer owns the build from brief to clear-down and travels with it, working alongside a crew hired in Amsterdam who know the venues and the access rules.
- Lead time and cost
- Events in Amsterdam start from €2,500 excluding travel and accommodation, with staff at €35 per hour on a four-hour minimum. Allow two to three weeks for festivals and galas; tighter dates are worth asking about.

Catering That Fits the Event, Not the Other Way Around
From an early vergadering to an evening receptie, we match the menu, service style and event flow to the people in the room.

Corporate Catering That Keeps Business Moving
Board meetings, company celebrations, networking evenings and client events need food that arrives at the right moment without interrupting the agenda. We can structure your Amsterdam corporate catering around breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks, networking periods and evening hospitality. Menus can include sandwiches, salads, hot dishes, sweet items, fruit, coffee and drinks according to the event brief. For offices around Zuidas, Amsterdam Zuid and the wider city, the focus is simple: dependable timing, clear dietary labelling and food that is practical to serve in a professional setting. Best suited to:Corporate meetingsTeam daysClient hospitalityOffice celebrationsNetworking sessions

Conference Catering Built Around the Agenda
A conference rarely needs one meal. It may require guest arrival refreshments, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon service and a closing borrel. We plan catering around registration windows, speaker sessions and scheduled breaks, with serving formats selected to reduce queues and keep delegates moving. For conferences and exhibitions around RAI Amsterdam, catering can be structured around busy timetables, multiple service periods and mixed dietary requirements. Available formats:Breakfast serviceCoffee breaksLunch serviceAfternoon refreshmentsNetworking bitesPost-event drinks

Canapés and Walking Dinners Made for Mingling
Standing receptions work better when guests can eat without leaving the conversation. Our canapé and walking-dinner formats are suited to product launches, receptions, gallery events, evening networking and celebratory feestjes where formal seated dining would interrupt the atmosphere. Choose bite-sized savoury dishes, vegetarian and vegan choices, sweets and drinks service, with portions planned around guest numbers and the length of the event. Ideal for:Launch partiesOpening nightsCocktail receptionsNetworking eventsAward evenings

Private Party Catering Without the Hosting Headache
Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and family occasions should feel gezellig, not like a shift in a restaurant kitchen. We plan the catering around your space, guest count and style of celebration. That could mean sharing platters, a buffet, small plates, afternoon food, drinks service or a more formal meal. Amsterdam homes and event spaces vary enormously, so serving style matters. We account for access, available preparation space and the way guests will move through the venue. Suitable for:BirthdaysAnniversariesEngagement partiesFamily gatheringsPrivate dinners

Launches, Exhibitions and Branded Event Catering
Brand events need catering that looks considered while still being practical for busy spaces. For product launches, exhibitions and promotional activations, we can structure menus around short service windows, standing guests and high-footfall periods. Coffee, matcha, bubble tea and specialist drinks can also be incorporated where suitable, giving organisers more ways to build food and beverage into the event experience. Useful for:Product launchesTrade exhibitionsPress eventsBrand activationsPop-upsCompany milestones

Food Service Guests Remember for the Right Reasons Good catering should feel easy to the organiser and well considered to everyone attending. “ Pearl Lemon Café handled the catering around a very tight event timetable and kept every service point organised. The vegetarian and gluten-free requirements were clear from the start, which made guest management much easier. The presentation fitted the professional setting without making service overly formal. Our team could focus on the event instead of checking catering throughout the day. Jonathan Meijer Event Operations Manager, NorthBridge Consulting “ We needed catering that worked across several stages of the event rather than one fixed meal. The team helped organise refreshments, lunch and evening bites around our programme. Communication was straightforward and the serving format worked well for guests who were constantly moving between sessions. It gave us one less operational issue to worry about. Sophie van Dijk Corporate Events Coordinator, Amstel Growth Partners “ Alles was goed geregeld en de gasten waren erg tevreden met het eten. De planning sloot goed aan op ons programma en ook de vegetarische opties waren duidelijk verzorgd. Tijdens de borrel verliep de service rustig en professioneel. We zouden deze aanpak zeker opnieuw overwegen voor een volgend evenement. English meaning: Everything was well organised and the guests were very happy with the food. The planning fitted well with our programme and the vegetarian options were clearly catered for. During the drinks reception, service remained calm and professional. We would certainly consider this approach again for a future event. Lars Petersen Facilitair Manager, Innovent Amsterdam BV
