About Us

Our Secret to Success?
Passion.

Kongress-Catering.de stands for more than 35 years of experience in mobile catering concepts that reliably work at trade fairs and congresses. Full service from initial consultation through passionate execution to dismantling.

The Best Conversations Happen at the Bar

Our catering concepts (coffee, frozen yogurt, vitamin drinks, cocktails, milkshakes, snacks) create a pleasant atmosphere with longer dwell times at your booth. More time for client conversations.

From Hotellerie to Mobile Trade-Fair Bar

Marcus Hopp founded the company in 1991 after successfully completing various trainings in the hotellerie. This formed the basis for giving every concept a personal touch — with a clear focus on quality, timing and service processes. All of this under trade-fair conditions.

Products with Freshness and Quality

Our products are largely based on our own recipe developments and fresh ingredients that we purchase locally on a daily basis.

Internationally Bookable

For many years we have been following our clients to trade fairs in neighbouring European countries as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions & Answers on Trade Fair Catering

What is mobile trade fair catering?
Mobile trade fair catering means that a professional catering service comes directly to your booth and prepares and serves food and drinks on site. Kongress-Catering.de brings complete mobile bar concepts – including setup, service staff and dismantling. This turns your booth into a magnet for visitors.
Which catering concepts does Kongress-Catering.de offer?
We offer six mobile catering concepts: Coffee Catering with a professional barista bar, Frozen Yogurt Catering, Vitamin Drinks, Milkshakes, Cocktails as well as Snacks and open-faced sandwiches. All concepts can be combined and tailored individually to your event.
How do I get a quote for trade fair catering?
You can send us an enquiry via the contact form, by email or by phone. Based on a few key details – location, date, time slot and visitor numbers – we usually prepare an individual quote within 24 hours.
How far in advance should I book trade fair catering?
The earlier the better – especially during the main trade fair season. Booking several weeks or months in advance secures your preferred date. However, we are happy to check short-notice enquiries based on availability.
Do you provide full service including setup and dismantling?
Yes. We deliver full service: setup and installation of the mobile catering station, operation with qualified service staff during the booked time window, as well as dismantling and disposal after the event.
What do I need to provide at the booth for the catering?
You provide the floor space according to the dimensions communicated in the offer, a power connection (230V or 400V depending on the concept) and, if applicable, access to fresh water. We coordinate all technical details with you in advance.
What is Frozen Yogurt Catering?
With Frozen Yogurt Catering we serve freshly poured frozen yogurt with house-made sauces and toppings. It is our best-seller because, as a crowd-stopper, it generates particularly high attention at the booth.
What makes your Coffee Bar special?
Our mobile coffee bar works with espresso machines and a bean grinder instead of fully automatic machines. This creates genuine barista quality and coffee specialties that provide an ideal conversation starter at the booth.
Which regions does Kongress-Catering.de serve?
We are bookable for trade fairs and congresses throughout Germany. Our base is in Lübeck, from where we serve events all across the country.
Do you also offer catering abroad in Europe?
Yes. Many clients have been taking us along to their international trade fairs for years. In recent years we have been active in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and other European countries.
Do you also work with event agencies?
Yes, event agencies are one of our core target groups. With our Fast & Worry-Free Package, agencies receive a quote based on a few key data points, one single point of contact and full service from setup to dismantling.
What does mobile trade fair catering cost?
The cost depends on the chosen concept, the duration, the number of visitors and the location. As every event is individual, we prepare a tailored quote after your enquiry – usually within 24 hours.
