Weddings and parties, fully taken care of
Marrying on an estate, celebrating under your own tent or dining in a characterful barn: we bring the kitchen and the service with us. From a reception with amuse-bouches to a multi-course menu or walking dinner, tailored to your wishes and the season.
Dinners on location
A birthday at home, an anniversary in your own garden or a dinner in a listed building without a kitchen of its own: we set up a workplace on site and serve at the level you know from our restaurant. Calm, tidy and without you having to think about anything.
Culinary events and boardroom dinners
From product launches to culinary events, from client dinners to directors dining at one long table. We think along about the concept, the wine pairings and the styling, so the evening is right from the first glass to the coffee.
Receptions, walking dinners and drinks
Not every occasion calls for a seated dinner. For a reception, opening or anniversary we serve home-made bites, walking dinners and live cooking - around the open fire in our orchard, for example, or at your own venue.
Parties at home or in our attic
From birthdays to baby showers: we cater at your home, in a tent in the garden or in our own renovated attic with its own lobby. The attic is yours from € 195; we compose the catering around your wishes and budget.
What does catering on location cost?
Every assignment is tailor-made, so you always receive a clear quote in advance. The price depends on the number of guests, the menu choice, the venue and the level of service. Ask without obligation - because kitchen and service come from one team, we can often surprise you with a sharp proposal.
How a catering request works
You email or call with your plans, we think along about format and menu and send a tailor-made proposal. Agreed? Then we arrange everything: ingredients, equipment, staff and styling. On the day itself you only have to welcome your guests.
Across Drenthe and beyond
From our base in Veenhuizen we work across Drenthe - from Assen and Emmen to Meppel and Hoogeveen - and beyond into Friesland and Groningen. Unsure whether your venue will work? We have cooked in barns, on estates, in tents and in listed buildings - just give us a call.
Why choose Bitter en Zoet for catering?
Because we have practised this craft on location for years. Our brigade led by head chef Peter and sous-chef Jos cooks with the same organic, regional produce as in the restaurant, and our service team knows how to look after guests quietly and well. Email info@bitterenzoet.nl for a tailor-made proposal without obligation.
What kinds of catering do we offer?
We cater in every form where food and hospitality take centre stage: weddings on an estate or in your own garden, dinners on location in listed buildings and barns, culinary events and product launches, and boardroom dinners where every detail is right.
Every assignment is tailor-made. We align menu, wines and styling with the occasion, the season and the place.

From amuse-bouches to multi-course menus: what is possible?
Almost everything we can do in our restaurant, we can do on location. For weddings and large parties we often start with a reception with amuse-bouches, followed by a walking dinner, a buffet or a multi-course menu at long tables. For boardroom dinners and culinary events we design a menu that suits the occasion, including wine pairings and vegetarian or vegan options.
Drinks with home-made bites, walking dinners or live cooking around the open fire are also possible - in our orchard, in our renovated attic or at your home.

How do I request catering and what does it cost?
A request starts with an email or a phone call. Tell us about the occasion, the number of guests and the venue; we will think along about format and menu and send a tailor-made proposal without obligation. The price depends on the number of guests, the menu choice, the venue and the level of service - and because kitchen and service come from one team, the proposal is often surprisingly sharp.
Agreed? Then we arrange everything: ingredients, equipment, staff and styling. On the day itself you only have to welcome your guests. From Veenhuizen we work across Drenthe and beyond.
