De Sering Catering Essential Info:

The Meal

We offer our usual De Sering community kitchen meal - Everything is vegan, made like our lunch and dinner. You can request soup + main OR main + main, main only, or soup only.

Fresh toppings and dips come with every base.

We do not do borrel bites; for snacks point to TestTafel Bites (€6 each, 3–5 bites pp).

Possible add-ons (with prices per person):

Bread + dips - €1.50
Two soups & two mains to choose from, for variety (not bigger portions) - €1
One course less (only soup, or only a main) - −€0.75
Custom menu (our general menu adapted to your wishes) - from €15 onwards

The Logistics (Pick up/Delivery/Hot/Cold)

We generally have a strong preference for pick up due to the limited capacity of our organisation. All pick ups happen at De Sering West (Rhôneweg 6). Any borrowed equipment that must be returned should be done so before 11:00 am the next day. For cost / logistical efficiency, we can package your food cold in vacuum bags, and nothing needs to be returned to us.

We can of course arrange delivery but it requires more logistics and it is priced in a way that we can pay our staff fairly for it. We charge for the crew's whole-trip time at €35/h per person + €0.30/km fuel, with a €120 minimum. For instance a short Amsterdam drop is €120; a 2-person run to Zwolle is ~€550.

Staff pay is something you need to keep in mind - 1 person can deliver up to 80 meals, if your catering requires more people, more staff will be necessary. On-site service staff are separate, billed €35/h each.

Extra things to consider:

- Heating large batches of food can be challenging with normal household equipment; thus, be very sure you can do this before opting for vacuum packs.

- We always offer to borrow serving equipment at a small fee (see below).

I want an add-on(s). Please select the ones that you would like. Note that we assume that an add-on is for all the guest. If that is not the case, please specify below.
