Where appropriate, BBQ and buffet-style options can also be considered for informal group gatherings.

Bespoke Event Catering Services

Our approach to event catering services begins with understanding your event before developing the menu. Depending on your requirements, the service can include:

Bespoke menu planning
Seasonal ingredient selection
Canapés and reception food
Buffet and sharing menus
Multi-course seated dining
Private fine dining
Vegetarian and vegan options
Dietary requirement considerations
On-site food preparation

Event-day service and coordination

The exact combination depends on your event, venue, guest numbers and preferred format.

Menus Designed Around Your Event

A business lunch, private anniversary dinner and large reception each require a different approach. Rather than relying on a fixed menu, we develop the culinary concept around the occasion.

For a corporate event, the priority may be a well-structured menu that works around meetings, presentations or networking. For a private celebration, there may be more opportunity for a longer dining experience and personal menu choices.

Canapés & Reception Menus

Ideal for standing receptions, networking events and occasions where guests want to move freely while enjoying carefully prepared food.

Buffet & Sharing Menus

A flexible option for larger or more informal gatherings, allowing guests to enjoy a selection of dishes in a relaxed setting.

Multi-Course Dining

For formal dinners and special celebrations, a structured multi-course menu creates a more traditional dining experience with each course carefully considered as part of the overall menu.

Dietary Requirements

Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary requirements can be discussed during the planning process and incorporated into the menu where possible.

Business Event Catering in Zürich

Corporate catering needs to work around the event rather than interrupt it.

Whether you are organising a business lunch, executive dinner, client gathering or networking reception, the menu and service can be planned according to the timing and format of your occasion.

For professional events, presentation and organisation are particularly important. Our approach is to create food and service that complement the purpose of the event while giving your guests a well-considered dining experience.
