Walking dinner menu variants: fish, meat, vegetarian and mixed

A walking dinner consists of six to eight small dishes served in relaxed rounds. Within that structure you can go in many directions. In practice hosts choose from four variants: fish and seafood, meat, vegetarian or a mixed menu. Every variant costs €42 per person from 20 guests, including chef, service staff, tableware, set-up and clean-up.

The fish variant suits the coast best. Think ceviche, oysters, shrimp skewers and a warm fish bite as a richer finish. It is the lightest set-up and works well in spring and summer, when guests eat late and do not want anything heavy.

The meat variant builds towards something more substantial. Steak tartare on brioche is a constant favourite, followed by warm rounds with slow-cooked meat and a savoury dish as the highlight. This set-up works well in autumn and winter, and for groups expecting a full evening meal.

The vegetarian variant is not a leftover menu but its own structure of six to eight vegetable-led bites: grilled vegetables, pulses, cheese and egg dishes, with herbs and acidity to keep it light. Fully vegan is possible too — mention it in your request and we build the whole menu around it.

The mixed variant is by far the most chosen. We combine cold fish bites at the start, warm meat dishes in the middle and always two or three full vegetarian bites, so vegetarians in the group do not need separate service. Share allergies when you request a quote; we adapt the relevant bites or prepare a separate version that does not stand out.
