Why Culinary Crew in Zeist
Around Slot Zeist and the country estates lie the villa districts that give Zeist its allure, a setting in which a dinner at home fits perfectly.
Around Slot Zeist and the estates lie villa districts with houses that have room, and kitchens that are often at the back, far from the table. We set up around that: working out of sight and finishing the dishes at the table, so you do not hear the brigade and the food does not go cold on the way.
Our home base in Baarn is about 25 minutes away. Close enough for fresh sourcing on the day itself, and for a chef who is at your stove on time even on a weeknight. Not an anonymous catering company, but one chef with his own brigade, taking care of your evening from the first sketch to the last plate.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know
How quickly can you be in Zeist?+
Zeist is about 25 minutes from our home base in Baarn. That means we can also cater at short notice and midweek, with fresh sourcing on the day itself.
Our kitchen is a long way from the dining room. Does that work?+
Yes. We then use a finishing station closer to the table, so the dishes do not go cold on the way. We agree that in advance.
Which parts of Zeist and the surrounding area do you cover?+
All of Zeist and the surrounding towns. Let us know your location with your enquiry and we align the options with you.
Do I need a fully equipped kitchen?+
No. We agree in advance what is needed and bring what is missing. In most home kitchens we can work perfectly well.
How do you handle allergies and dietary requirements?+
We take them fully into account in the menu design. Let us know with your enquiry and we factor them in from the first sketch.
How does payment work?+
On a confirmed quote you receive a payment link for a 40% deposit. This secures your date. The remaining amount is paid five days before the event; for events settled on actuals, the balance follows afterwards. If you cancel, what you owe depends on the timing: up to 14 days before the event you pay nothing and we refund the deposit in full. After that it increases according to the scale in article 9.2 of our terms.
