Event and party catering in Leiden with a fresh kumpir bar: Potaé comes to your celebration and builds a station of XXL baked potatoes that your guests load themselves. Vegan, vegetarian, chicken or tuna, all from the same bar. From weddings to company parties, we travel to your venue. And because we cater across the Netherlands, that includes Leiden.
A party with a mixed crowd needs food that gives everyone something they like. One guest eats plant-based, another wants meat, and the kids mostly want something familiar. Potaé solves that with one dish in countless variations. We are the first and only dedicated kumpir chain in the Netherlands, and the kumpir bar is built to make groups happy.
What is event and party catering with a kumpir bar?
A kumpir is a Turkish-style XXL baked potato: oven-baked, whipped creamy inside with butter and cheese, then loaded with fresh salads and toppings. For a party, we set this up as a live kumpir bar. Guests walk along, pick their base and build their own potato. It is food and a little bit of an experience, because everyone assembles their own plate.
Why a kumpir bar works at parties in Leiden
Leiden is a historic university city with plenty of characterful venues: old buildings in the centre, spots along the canals and halls near the station. Weddings, birthdays, receptions and company parties here often draw an international, diverse crowd. A kumpir bar fits that well, because one set-up serves all those different dietary needs at once.
Whether you are throwing an intimate party or a large company event, we travel to your venue in Leiden. See our wider catering and what we do at festivals too.
Something for every guest, no separate orders
The kumpir bar makes inclusive catering easy. At the same bar you will find:
- Vegan options with plant-based toppings and salads;
- Vegetarian choices, generous by design because kumpir is naturally veg-forward;
- Chicken for the hearty eater;
- Tuna as a fresh, protein-rich variant.
Nobody has to submit a special menu in advance or eat separately. That makes organising a lot simpler. The full line-up is on the menu.

Frequently asked questions
Does Potaé bring the catering to Leiden?
Yes. Potaé has stores in Amsterdam and Almere, but we cater across the Netherlands. For your party in Leiden we travel to your venue and build the kumpir bar there.
Is a kumpir bar suitable for a wedding?
Absolutely. The bar is made for mixed crowds, so it is ideal for weddings where guests have very different dietary needs. Everyone builds their own potato, which also makes for a fun moment.
Do you have vegan and vegetarian options for my guests?
Yes. Kumpir is naturally veg-forward. The bar carries vegan and vegetarian options alongside chicken and tuna, so every guest is served from the same bar.
What does event and party catering in Leiden cost?
The price depends on the number of guests, the date, the type of party and the venue. That is why we work with a tailored quote rather than fixed packages. Request a no-obligation quote.
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings and large parties especially: the earlier the better, so your date is still free. Get in touch in good time and we will reserve the right planning for you.
