Our own mobile kitchen
Hot food may be held for at most three hours after cooking — so we cook on site.
Germany-wide · head office Berlin-Köpenick
Catering across Germany: we bring the kitchen.
Our mobile kitchen cooks where your guests are — including venues with no kitchen, no three-phase power and a long way from Berlin. Our head office and our restaurant stay in Berlin-Köpenick.

We drive the kitchen to you — not finished food across Germany.
What you can expect
Cooked at your venue, not 600 kilometres earlier.
Hot food may be held for a maximum of three hours from the end of cooking, transport included. So we drive the kitchen to you instead of driving finished food across the country.
No power supply needed
Cooked on our own flame, kept warm with fuel paste.

Travel and overnight stay are itemised in the quote before you commit.

Outside Berlin
How a job 300 kilometres away runs.
Distance does not change the food, it changes the schedule around it. All of it is in the quote before you commit.
Travel the day before
Team and kitchen leave in good time. Where the round trip runs to twelve hours, we stay overnight — safer and more predictable than driving through the night.
Setup and purchasing
Dry goods and spices travel with us from Berlin. Fresh produce we buy locally where that makes sense — a short cold chain instead of a long transport.
Cooking at the venue
We cook on our own flame. If the venue has a kitchen we use it; if it has none, we need a level space and vehicle access.
Service and breakdown
Buffet, fuel-paste warming, refilling, breakdown and a clean handover. Our equipment leaves with us.
What we need, what is extra
Two honest lists instead of small print.
What we need on site
- A level space for the mobile kitchen and vehicle access
- Water if there is any — otherwise we bring it
- No power supply: our warming trays run on fuel paste
- One contact person on site, and confirmation that external catering is allowed
What is charged on top
- Travel: kilometres, vehicle and the team's paid driving time
- Overnight stay where returning the same evening is not reasonable
- Standing time where hours pass between setup and service
- Local kitchen hire, if production requires one
Each of these is its own line in the quote. We calculate them before you commit, not afterwards.

Practical questions
What you want to know before the day.
Do you need a power supply?+
No. Our chafing dishes run on fuel paste, not electricity. Extension leads and outdoor sockets are unnecessary — in a garden, a barn, a hall, or indoors if the weather turns. We adapt to the day.
How much table space do we need?+
For a buffet of six warm dishes plus rice, allow roughly 2 m × 80 cm so the chafing dishes stand in two rows side by side. At 1.20 m it gets tight. A second small table for plates, cutlery, papadom and bread is useful, so those do not sit in the heat.
When do we have to confirm the guest count?+
We need the final number 72 hours before the event. Until then we adjust. The per-person price holds down to 15 guests; below that we would rather talk it through than quote a number that works for nobody.
Do you cook outside Berlin as well?+
Yes, anywhere in Germany. We bring our own mobile kitchen and cook at the venue, including venues with no kitchen. We do not drive finished food across the country: hot food may be held for three hours from the end of cooking, transport included. Travel, driving time and, where needed, an overnight stay for the team are shown as their own lines in the quote. The calculator on this page covers the three Berlin zones; anything beyond that we price personally and come back within 24 hours.
When do you collect the equipment?+
Late the same evening or the next day — whichever suits you better. You clean nothing and transport nothing.
Can all guests eat the same food?+
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are a full, equal part of the selection, not an afterthought. Our kitchen is entirely halal and alcohol-free. We can prepare the whole buffet lactose-free at no extra charge.
How does payment work?+
By bank transfer before the event or on delivery, as you prefer. You receive an invoice showing VAT and our VAT ID. For short-notice bookings — less than 30 days ahead and up to €750.00 in order value — there is no deposit, and you cancel free up to 72 hours before the event. From 30 days ahead, or above €750.00 in order value, we ask for a 30% deposit, refunded in full up to 30 days before the date; after that a staggered scale applies. The full scale is below under "Deposit and cancellation". The customer remains entitled to prove that no damage, or substantially less damage, has occurred. Dem Kunden bleibt der Nachweis vorbehalten, dass kein oder ein wesentlich geringerer Schaden entstanden ist.
