About us

Catering for good

Kiem provides truly sustainable catering for
companies and organizations in Utrecht and the surrounding area that want to pamper their staff or relations. Kiem emerged from restaurant Gys , and we work from
the same philosophy: 100% plant-based, 100% organic, 100% enthusiastic and also just very tasty!

What we stand for

Our team is passionate about how tasty, colorful and fun plant-based food is. We combine our knowledge of various topics – such as allergens, nutritional values, taste, carbon footprint and organic farming – with 100% drive to give your guests or staff the very best.

With each dish, we pay close attention to taste experience and nutritional value and in addition, everything we serve is made from scratch and 'in house', exclusively with high-quality organic products. From our broths and sauces to our chick'n and parmesan.

Our collaborations

Kiem carefully selects its suppliers and partners:
The organic wholesaler that takes responsibility for ensuring that farmers and growers can continue to produce healthy food in the future.
100% organic farming that revives biodiversity.
For climate-neutral, organic, pure and socially responsible brewed beer
Urban and emission-free raw material collection by a socially inclusive, mission-driven start-up.
The most delicious cakes and pastries: responsible, natural, and as sustainable as possible.

Vegan Friendly

Een initiatief van de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Veganisme. Het label verbindt ondernemers met vegan aanbod met consumenten door herkenbaarheid en vindbaarheid.
Artisanal bread from Jasper and Grethe, baked with passion

Professional service

Tailored to your wishes, we provide a healthy, surprising and tasty lunch, drinks, barbecue or dinner. Professional, friendly and flexible.

We deliver to the location ourselves and are happy to share the story about the products if desired. Our attractively presented dishes are provided with signs with short information. In addition, we always take allergies and dietary requirements, such as halal, into account so that all employees or guests feel welcome. For more information about our service, see our menu.

Sustainability in practice

We make our footprint as small as possible. That is why our catering is:


✓ Organic ✓ Plant-based ✓ Seasonal ✓ Homemade ✓ Local.

We also find circularity important. For example, our kitchen was taken over from a fellow industry member who has stopped. We are committed to preventing waste as much as possible. Where waste does occur, we work together
with our residual flow processor Clique , who grows oyster mushrooms on our coffee grounds and makes hand soap from our orange peels. The choice for Kiem catering underlines a real focus on sustainability.

 

Measuring sustainability

From the start of Kiem, we have been working with Eevery , a sustainability specialist for SMEs. Using Eevery's tools, we measure the sustainability performance of our entire organization and compare it with other catering companies and with our own previous performance. In this way, we challenge ourselves to continually take new steps.
