Wedding Caterers in Bern and the Mittelland

Catering here crosses the same language line as everything else in the region, French-speaking traiteurs based in Fribourg, Neuchâtel and the Jura, German-speaking caterers around Bern and Solothurn, and a number of rural operations that cook on the farm or estate where the wedding is held rather than transporting food any distance. Country-style menus, whole roasted meats and shared platters show up more here than in the cities, reflecting the region's farming base. Because so many venues in this region are barns, farmhouses and small estates without their own kitchen, check early whether the caterer needs to bring cooking equipment as well as food, and what that adds to the quote.
