Foreword
Delicious menu for your DHL event!
When you choose our menu, you can be sure that all ingredients are handpicked. We have a kitchen just outside Allerød, and we have agreements with local farmers. This means, when you bite into a potato salad, there is, MAX 24 hours from when the potatoes were pulled from the ground, until you eat them. Or our butcher, who handmakes the grilled sausages, especially for us. It is a reassurance for you, but also for us, because it ensures that we always have satisfied customers.
We take care of the practicalities, so you can enjoy each other's company. We come with the grill in good time, and ensure that there is a delicious buffet ready for you. A buffet that will make even the fussy participant go weak in the knees ;-)
If you wish, we can also take care of your beverages, so all you have to do is show up. ;-) It could be wine and draft beer for the meal, or a bartender for ice-cold summer drinks.
You can certainly trust that if you choose us, your evening will be a success, and we leave nothing to chance. For the past 5 years, we have organized lots of company events, and for the past 2 years, we have catered to over 900 people for DHL.

The food experience was of high quality, and having everything served so one could sit and enjoy it was great. Not least to arrive at a tidy kitchen.

A truly well-composed menu of only good items for a champagne-themed event chosen by me.
When an unforeseen obstacle arose, Jakob called in colleague Morten to deliver the menu.

Great taste, good portion sizes, and all wishes accommodated. All agreements were kept precisely. Good communication. Super sweet and pleasant chef who made sure our evening was perfect. The kitchen was left as if no one had ever been there. Can only recommend the team.

ESVEN CATERING
We are a catering and event company with a passion for gastronomy, quality, and good craftsmanship. We take pride in delivering food experiences of the highest quality — whether for private parties, corporate events, larger gatherings, or intimate dinners.
From our kitchen in North Zealand, our chefs work every day with great precision, care, and respect for the ingredients. For us, it is not just about cooking, but about creating a complete experience where taste, quality, and aesthetics come together in a higher unity.
OUR KITCHEN
North Zealand is more than just our address. It is an important part of our identity.
The beautiful surroundings, nature, and the many local producers and farms around us inspire us every single day. That is why we work purposefully to build strong relationships and collaborations with local producers, so we can bring the best ingredients directly into our kitchen.
Fresh, seasonal, and preferably organic ingredients are the foundation of our gastronomy. We believe that the finest ingredients require respect — and that consideration for both the ingredient, the producer, and nature can be tasted on the plate.
FRENCH GASTRONOMY WITH A NORDIC TOUCH
Our kitchen is based on French culinary art and its classic craftsmanship, but we draw inspiration from the simplicity, seasons, and local ingredients of Nordic cuisine.
The result is gastronomy with French finesse, Nordic lightness, and plenty of flavor.
For us, passion is not just a word. It is the driving force behind everything we do — from the moment the first ingredient arrives in the kitchen, until the last plate leaves our hands.
We look forward to hearing from you and to creating the next culinary experience together.
Best regards
Jakob Esven

Help
What if I haven't planned the event yet?
We recommend sending a request so you can make sure the chef is available on your chosen date.
After confirmation you will still be able to:
Change the menu and the number of courses
Change the number of guests, allergies and children's menus
Write to the chef to discuss the menu and the dinner
When is the latest I should book a chef?
We recommend reserving your date as early as possible by sending a request to the chef, especially for weekends and around holidays or celebrations.
Need a chef at short notice, or is the chef unavailable on your chosen date? Don't worry! Our customer service is ready to help you find a chef. Call us on 93 40 40 10 or write to us at
kontakt@chefme.dk
What happens when I send a request to the chef?
When you send a request to a chef, you also create a profile, so you will be notified when the chef has replied to the request. You get access to a message thread where you can write to the chef at any time and agree on the details.
Can I change the chef's menu?
You can start from one of the chef's menus or have a menu tailored to your taste.
More into fish than meat? Or do you prefer cake over ice cream for dessert? Send a request to the chef and share your wishes, so together you can put together a menu that suits you and your party. The chef can also make alternative menus based on allergies as well as children's menus.
Does the chef bring everything needed?
Further up the page you can see what the chef requires from your kitchen, and what the chef can bring. If in doubt, you can ask the chef once you have sent a request.
What do I need to take care of myself when I book a chef?
The chef handles shopping, cooking, serving and cleaning up the kitchen. So you just need to set the table, provide drinks (unless you have added a wine menu or similar) and enjoy the time with your guests around the table.
