Trochu Jiný Catering
03 · Private events · across the Czech Republic

A party your guests remember
like a family lunch, just more beautiful.

A 40th in the garden. A christening at the atelier. A family lunch for your parents' silver anniversary. I bring a table that looks like it grew where it stands, refill through the day, and pack it down quietly. You sit at the table with your guests, not behind it.

— What others do · what I do

One table,
two approaches.

Most caterers bring the trays and drive away. So on your own 40th, you're laying out the platters, wiping spilled wine, hunting for a bin and the lid that came off the cake. And you don't have time to sit with your guests.

— Conventional catering

„We'll be there by 11, we'll pick up the trays the next day.“

Build on you. Service on you. Clean-up on you or your partner. Your mother ends up at the sink and you find yourself thinking: I didn't know I'd be serving at my own party.

— Trochu Jiný

„I bring it, lay it out, refill it,
clear it down.“

I arrive 2–3 hours ahead. I build the table while you're getting ready to greet your guests. I refill discreetly. Your partner lets me in, and after that neither of you needs to think about a thing.

— How it goes

From the first message
to the last fork.

No „we'll get back to you tomorrow“ followed by silence. Every step has a clear time and a clear outcome. You know when to act, and when there's nothing left to do.

i.

Message

and a short call

Send the date, the venue, the headcount and your idea. I call back within 24 hours, for 15 minutes, so I know what you need and whether it's a fit for both sides.

— Day 1
ii.

Meeting

and a tasting

You come to the atelier by the reservoir. You taste, we tune the scope together, we talk about the feel of the party. Out of that comes a tailored proposal, not a packaged price list.

— Week 1–2
iii.

Deposit

and locking in the date

A 30 % deposit reserves the date. After that I have room to order ingredients from my producers, and you don't have to think about it until a month before the event.

— Month 1
iv.

The day:

nothing on you

I build the table 4–5 hours before the start. I refill through the day. Late at night I clear it down and leave with a quiet „goodnight, that was lovely“.

What I build

— Frequent questions

What hosts
ask most.

If you don't find your answer here, write to me. I reply within 24 hours, and briefly. I don't have an assistant; I write back myself.

Yes, anywhere in the Czech Republic. Parties in Prague, the Vysočina, southern Moravia, the Beskydy. Travel beyond 100 km from Brno is itemised transparently, with no surprises.
Comfortably 10 to 120 guests. Even smaller for christenings and intimate gatherings. Above 80 I bring one assistant, but the table is still mine alone.
For larger parties, ideally 6–10 weeks. Christenings and intimate gatherings, 3 weeks is enough. My rule: one big event per weekend.
I prepare separate boards: vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free. Labelled. It's not a surcharge; it's standard. Send me the allergy list a week ahead.
Yes, a tasting at the atelier by the reservoir is a standard step. You sit at the table, taste 6–8 items, we talk about style. 60 minutes, free if you go ahead with the booking.
Wooden boards, marble slabs, ceramics and linen: I bring my own. The table underneath is yours to arrange with your coordinator; we'll go through what I need beforehand.
