Caterers in Namur province, the kitchen comes to you

6 caterers serving in Namur province, from fine dining to barbecue.

6 approved caterers 14 criteria 6 cities
See the 6 caterers Find my style first

6 caterers cover the province and only one is based there, in Jambes: the other 5 come from Hainaut, from the Huy area or from Brussels. Nothing unusual about that, a wedding kitchen is on wheels, and Namur is an hour from almost anywhere in Wallonia. What weighs more here is that most Namur venues are farms and castles with no professional kitchen: the caterer then works out of the van, in the courtyard, with whatever electricity the venue can supply. This gets settled before you talk about the menu.

What cuisine do you have in mind?

The 6 caterers nearly all advertise the same range: the tasting will decide better than the filter.

Or by province

1 is based in the province of Namur, 5 come from a neighbouring province. In this trade, travelling is normal.

How to choose your caterer in Namur province

  1. 1Get the caterer and the venue talkingMany farms and châteaux around Namur have no production kitchen. Ask the caterer to call the venue before you sign: electrical capacity, water point, room for the truck.
  2. 2Only one is from Namur, the others travel5 of the 6 come from another province. Check that travel, setup and equipment collection are written into the quote, not left in a footnote.
  3. 3Local produce has a seasonIf you want produce from nearby, Wépion strawberries are picked in early summer, not in September. Ask the caterer what they buy locally and when.
  4. 4Cobbled courtyards get hotA drinks reception in the middle of a July afternoon puts cold buffets to the test. Insist on a shade solution and a written rain plan, not a spoken promise.
  5. 5Flag dietary needs early4 caterers list vegetarian and 3 vegan. Give the number of special meals with the guest count, not the week before.

Frequently asked questions

How many caterers work in the province of Namur?

6 caterers in total, of which only 1 is based in the province, in Jambes, and 5 who come from Hainaut, the Liège area or Brussels. All 6 list French, fine dining and Mediterranean cooking, 5 barbecue and Italian.

Does a caterer who travels from far away cost more?

Travel is sometimes charged, but it weighs little against the number of guests. The real extra cost comes from the equipment they have to bring when the venue has neither a kitchen nor crockery.

Can you choose a caterer that is not on the venue's list?

It depends on the venue: some impose their list, others leave you the choice against a corkage fee or a deposit. Ask the question at the visit, it changes your budget.
